Pros
"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.""Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away.""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 product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."

Cons
"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.""The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture.""There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile.""Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection.""There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts""There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
