In their own words
AccessOne
AccessOne is a software-only SD-WAN platform that adds encrypted networking over existing MPLS circuits and legacy VPN hardware. It runs on commodity x86 hardware or cloud VMs on AWS, Azure, and GCP, managed through one dashboard. Listed VPN protocols are WireGuard, IKEv2, and IPSec. The AccessOne VPN App is listed for iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows, with Keycloak SSO; a lightweight Linux Connector serves small branches and retail. VSM Dashboard provides centralized management, real-time monitoring, and an audit trail. Security features include default-deny zero-trust policies, mutual TLS with a unique X.509 certificate per edge device, VRF tenant isolation, and inline Suricata IDS/IPS with active blocking. Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, and Loki are named for per-flow visibility. Prime is positioned for branches and VMs at about 3 Gbps; Enterprise for headquarters and data centers at 10 Gbps or more; Shared MTGE for MSP and wholesale use with 10 or more tenants.

Nokia Nuage Networks SD-WAN
Nokia Nuage Networks SD-WAN, also called VNS, links branch locations with private data centers, public clouds, provider-managed VPNs, and SaaS services. A central policy repository applies business and application requirements to WAN links and routes, with the aim of meeting performance, cost, security, and policy criteria. Listed transports include IP/MPLS, internet, and LTE/5G. Nokia says automated site or VPN setup can take a few minutes rather than several weeks. The SD-WAN 2.0 architecture adds application-level visibility and control across branches, private data centers, and public clouds, with traffic details such as source, destination, type, and rates. It can orchestrate third-party virtual network functions on uCPE and chain functions in data centers or clouds. Security capabilities include web filtering, application control, segmentation, stateful Layer 3–4 security, and intrusion detection and prevention; some features require add-on licenses. It supports Linux, web, and self-hosted environments. Pricing is on request.
