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."Huge companies use SD-WAN. It is largely scalable."
"Cisco products are rated to handle the heat and are very rugged, making them a good corporate standard."
"The solution has great scalability."
"Any technical support we needed was great."
"It's a complete solution with many security features."
"The product helps to aggregate network links. The tool increases security and makes it possible for you to have remote workers."
"There is minimum blind space in this solution."
"The solution sufficiently provides ISPs."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix SD-WAN is customization. You are able to customize the solution to your needs."
"The main advantage of Citrix SD-WAN is that it enables fast communication between our branches and data centers. And, with its cloud management features, it also makes the process of adding new branches into our company network much easier."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"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 stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"The solution could be a bit cheaper."
"The process of onboarding the vSmart, vBond, and vManage should be improved to make it easier to manage in general."
"Compresson deduplication should be added."
"There should be more security features in the hybrid and on-premise deployments of Cisco SD-WAN. The cloud has most of the security features."
"Its license model needs to be improved. They always make the license model too complex. There are too many license models and too many options. They should have a flexible license model. They can improve a lot of things in terms of scalability, templates, and automation, mainly automation for onboarding a number of sites. If you want some new features, it can take quite a long time. If you want a feature and it is not yet developed, you need to have the support of the business units to have the feature developed. If the feature is not on their roadmap, it can take quite some time before you get the feature."
"The product needs to have more understanding staff in their support team. The tool needs to provide support in every stage of deployment. We did not get the expected support from their team. The product is also not easy to use."
"Some competitors are much faster in providing out-of-the-box solutions, more innovative solutions. In terms of innovation, in many cases, they're lagging behind."
"Cisco SD-WAN's clustering mechanism needs to be improved. If there are more than five milliseconds of latency time between installations of the VM manager, the cluster automatically breaks down."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"The communication around the life cycle would have been really helpful. The main issue we have had is related to the life cycle because some of the things that we are using were discontinued. They were discontinued within a year after we had purchased it, which is a bit painful. If we had known that, we would've made some other decisions."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
