CyberRatings.org 2024 SD-WAN Test Report

In Q3, 2024, CyberRatings.org conducted an independent evaluation of Versa Secure SD-WAN. The assessment focused on several critical areas: management, routing and access control, stability and reliability, quality of experience (QoE) for audio and video, and performance under various traffic conditions.

“The Versa SD-WAN handled all use cases easily and proved highly reliable and capable. It should be on everyone’s shortlist.”

Versa Secure SD-WAN achieved a full “AAA” and the maximum achievable score for voice and video quality. Specifically:

• Management and Deployment: Excelled in management capabilities, notably supporting Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) across multiple branches. This feature simplifies remote configuration and deployment, making it ideal for distributed networks.
• Routing and Policy Enforcement: Enforced both simple and complex network policies, including secure site-to-site VPNs and direct internet access. This ensures reliable and secure traffic routing.
• Stability and Reliability: High operational stability, even under extended adverse conditions and heavy traffic loads. It successfully preserved state across open sessions, ensuring continued traffic flow without interruption.
• Quality of Experience (QoE): Consistent Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) for both audio and video, even when faced with WAN impairments such as packet loss and delay. This ensures a high-quality user experience, particularly for VoIP and video applications.
• Performance: High throughput with minimal latency across various traffic loads, making it a reliable choice for enterprises with demanding network performance requirements.
