"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"The reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"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 zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"When we upgrade to one of the edges, it goes very smoothly."
"The setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is load balancing."

"VMware SD-WAN is scalable."
"The most valuable feature for one of our customers is the ability to stage cloud workloads from the local network."
"Increases the performance of applications and is easy to deploy."
"VMware has been chosen by many of our customers who do not want to do a lot of complex routing in their environment and want a very easy-to-use solution. The most valuable features are simple troubleshooting, Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), and cybersecurity."
"The reports need to be improved. We need to have them customized but they don't have that right now. I would like for them to have better system predictions. We don't have that right now. My system may be working fine right now but after making some changes, that can change."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"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."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"I would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"VMware SD-WAN doesn't have the best built-in firewall."
"The product should have on-demand tunnels instead of fixed tunnels."
"I would like to see more features added to increase visibility."
"VMware SD-WAN could be improved with more automation and more integration, but each vendor could use these improvements."
"VMware SD-WAN is complicated to configure."
"There might be potential enhancements in better integration with other platforms, increased stability, and heightened security."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"I would like for them to upgrade to 5G integration. Our customers have 4G now and the connectivity isn't good. It should be much faster."
