My main use case for Megaport is data center interconnect.
The best features of Megaport for my work mainly involve the scalable bandwidth, as we have multiple data centers across India, which means my internet bandwidth and internal communication bandwidth will be higher.
When I use Megaport for my data centers, what I personally find most helpful is that it reduces the complexity and is used for virtual cross connect between Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing.
Megaport impacts my organization by not necessarily lowering cost, but it reduces a lot of time and increases the bandwidth, which increases the performance, especially in terms of overall company performance and network performance.
If I could improve Megaport, I would say the missing feature is difficult to identify because we have used it mostly on Megaport. However, the part that can improve is that it should be a little bit easier to use and more user-friendly. The number of features and ease of features can be improved.
I have been familiar with Megaport for the last two years.
I would definitely recommend Megaport to someone considering it.
My main use case for Aviatrix is primarily in cloud networking and secure multi-cloud architecture projects.
In one project, I used Aviatrix to set up secure connectivity between AWS and Azure environments using its transit gateway architecture and centralized firewall policies. This helped us simplify routing, enforce security, and get better visibility across our multi-cloud setup.
In addition to connectivity, Aviatrix also gave us centralized visibility and control, which made troubleshooting, monitoring, and enforcing consistent security policies across clouds much easier.
Aviatrix has positively impacted our organization by helping us simplify multi-cloud operations, improve security posture, and reduce troubleshooting time.
With Aviatrix, we saw around a 30 to 40% reduction in troubleshooting time due to better visibility, and deployment time improved by nearly 50% with automation.
The best features of Aviatrix are centralized multi-cloud control and the built-in security, zero trust, firewalling, and deep network visibility.
The deep network visibility feature gave us end-to-end traffic insights across clouds, including flow-level data and real-time monitoring, helping us quickly identify bottlenecks, detect misconfigurations, and troubleshoot issues much faster.
Another standout is how Aviatrix combines networking and security in a single platform.
Aviatrix can improve by simplifying its UI or UX for new users, enhancing documentation for complex setups, and reducing the learning curve so that juniors can understand it better.
One additional area is better cost optimization insights and reporting. While Aviatrix is powerful, more built-in recommendations for cost efficiency and resource usage would help teams manage budgets more effectively.
I have been using Aviatrix for approximately 1.5 years.
Aviatrix is highly stable and reliable in production environments.
Aviatrix is highly scalable. It supports multi-region and multi-cloud expansion with ease using its transit gateway architecture and hub-and-spoke design.
The customer support of Aviatrix has been strong and responsive.
We previously relied on native cloud networking tools such as AWS VPC and Microsoft Azure Networking. We switched to Aviatrix for better multi-cloud consistency, centralized control, and enhanced security features, which were harder to achieve with native tools alone.
We onboarded Aviatrix through the AWS Marketplace, which made procurement and deployment much faster.
Using Aviatrix, we saw a clear ROI through approximately a 30 to 40% reduction in network management effort, which meant fewer resources were needed for operations, along with faster deployments of around 50% improvement, and reduced downtime, translating into cost savings and better productivity.
With Aviatrix, pricing is on the higher side but justified by the features and performance. Setup costs were moderate, especially when deployed via AWS Marketplace, and licensing is flexible but can feel complex initially, requiring some time to fully understand.
Before choosing Aviatrix, we evaluated native solutions from AWS and Microsoft Azure, along with third-party options such as Cisco and VMware networking solutions.
I would recommend clearly understanding your multi-cloud architecture upfront and investing time in learning the core concepts of Aviatrix. Start with a small deployment or POC and leverage the documentation and support to reduce the learning curve and maximize value quickly. I gave this review a rating of 8.
