We performed a comparison between Cisco SD-WAN and Citrix SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN are reliability and scalability."
"Cisco SD-WAN has separate OMP routing."
"The most useful feature for our organization is the combination of on-prem and cloud-based deployments. We connect securely to our hybrid cloud using transit VPCs and cloud on-ramp for fast deployments."
"From my observations, Cisco has been rolling out new features every other day, so I would say their speed of innovation is one of the most valuable aspects for me."
"You get security, all of the service you need, and it's easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features, application awareness, and failover resilience, stand out as key considerations for users."
"With other routing protocols, we have had to send team members to perform installations and configurations. There is a lot of work involved. However with SD-WAN, once it is installed it is fully automated, and we can do all other tasks remotely. We don't have to send staff out to the client's location. It's very independent, and we can establish SD-WAN connectivity easily. It is secure as well."
"The most useful feature is centralized telephony."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"The scalability and stability are quite good in general."
"The tool is quite cost-effective because it replaces the need for MPLS, which is a bit expensive...Citrix SD-WAN doesn't need much maintenance."
"The solution is brilliant, the way it calculates its paths and trails is great."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"They have a zero downtime failover mechanism, where, when there's a link failure or a link weakness, or bad link conditions, they provide the ability to fail back seamlessly."
"The solution could have a better web interface to simplify changing configurations."
"The solution could be more secure. Security is always a priority for us."
"It would be very helpful if we had better access to a knowledge base, or online documentation, to help both us and our customers learn to use this solution."
"The solution is a bit complicated."
"We don't have any issues with this solution other than the price."
"This solution could be improved with a simpler implementation process and licensing model."
"Since Cisco acquired Viptela, the stability of this solution has given problems since it is quite new."
"Cisco's router and voice gateway has not been available since the launch of SD-WAN."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"I would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"The firewall reporting could be easier to use and filter. (It works well enough, but if I need to give an area for improvement, I think this would be it.). The built-in reporting on the product in this regard is not great."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
