We performed a comparison between Aviatrix and Cisco ACI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The connections are seamless, and we can access the static clouds on the platform itself. We are also able to trace the issues. The most valuable features of the solution are security, user interface, and performance."
"The product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"This tool resolves the overlapping of CIDR’s IP addresses in a multi-cloud environment, which is its best feature. The product also gives packet-level details on the data that has been put from one cloud to another. Currently, no other solution in the market can give this kind of detail. There is also the high VPN connectivity which gives high throughput. Internet service providers have a limitation on large migrations like 10 Gigabytes or 2 to 2.3 GBPS. However, this tool gives you a functionality where you can bundle multiple tunnels into one tunnel. Thereafter, you can transfer the data from one environment to another or from on-prem to the cloud."
"Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."
"This solution allows you to do everything quicker and more efficiently."
"Their technical support is very good. We had a problem and Cisco gave us the best engineer to resolve the issue."
"Cisco ACI can separate networks with a buoy interface. That is the most valuable feature."
"Because of its automation feature, when you configure scripts for Cisco ACI, it reduces human error."
"With Cisco ACI, I can deploy things with a script, then run it in five minutes."
"The most valuable features include microsegmentation, L3 Out features, and the common tenant and tenancy model."
"The biggest benefit has been that it has improved communication between my endpoints in the data center."
"The scalability is great. This is the greatest feature of the technology. It is a great improvement in scaling out. It can greatly increase the overall scalability of the Fabric with multi-port and multi side, making it a great product."
"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"
"There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."
"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"The tool has a very limited local presence in the GCC market. I am based in Dubai, UAE and it would be very difficult for me to reach out to US staff for technical discussion during the tool’s implementation. The tool needs to focus on the GCC market which includes UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. There is nobody to help you out in this region."
"I would like to be able to test the upgrades in a simulation before implementing them in production because not everyone has a lab."
"So far we've had very few issues, a couple of routing things that were glitches within ACI."
"The challenging thing about Cisco ACI was we had to put a lot of effort into providing the customer the full picture, new standards, and new technology that they had to use. This was more challenging than deploying the product."
"I would like to see the data center unification of Cisco ACI with Cisco DNA into a single platform to deliver the data center and campus sides."
"We would like to have faster services and problem monitoring for our customers."
"Figuring out how to implement the product for clients is the area we struggle with the most every day. Perhaps an enhancement would be artificially intelligent solutions, but that would be further down the road."
"The ACI user interface is complex and Cisco should improve it."
"I wish that if I had to open up an additional tab, I wouldn't have to log in every single time."
