We performed a comparison between Aviatrix and Cisco SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Juniper, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."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."
"Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"The product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."
"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 most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"The technical support is very responsive."
"The most valuable feature is the application-level routing."
"You get security, all of the service you need, and it's easy to deploy."
"The orchestration on the VPN connection between remote locations is a fantastic feature. I used it some time ago."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco SD-WAN is its compatibility and integration with the rest of the infrastructure."
"The reliability is high and we have only had to restart it once or twice over the years."
"Troubleshooting is swift, allowing for fast turnaround times whenever we encounter an issue."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."
"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."
"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"
"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."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"Customers require features that are secure for endpoints, on-premises, and for the cloud."
"We need them to start focusing on the SD-WAN compatibility with other environments and not being so vendor locked with Cisco environments."
"In the next release, Cisco should focus on simplifying the configuration of SD-WAN. SD-WAN has a lot of room to grow."
"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 initial setup is really complex."
"Cisco needs to improve the technical support for this solution."
"This solution could be improved with a simpler implementation process and licensing model."
"It would be better if it provided more visibility. At present, we can't troubleshoot in real time."
