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, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."
"The product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"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."
"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 most useful feature is centralized telephony."
"Initial setup is easy."
"The technical support is very responsive."
"The most valuable features, application awareness, and failover resilience, stand out as key considerations for users."
"The product helps to aggregate network links. The tool increases security and makes it possible for you to have remote workers."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a good product."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a very good product."
"I have found the performance and the Zero-Touch provisioning helpful which makes it easier for us to develop."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"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."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"The cost is too high for certain countries, for example, those in Africa. The solution needs to be more cost-effective."
"It should also be much more affordable for a larger number of customers."
"One of the major areas that Cisco can improve on with their SD-WAN offering is their security features. When compared with Fortinet, who have what they call their 'security pillars' (e.g. firewall and security features built-in to their SD-WAN solutions), Cisco generally comes up short. With Cisco, if you need a security component, you have to pay more to get it done. So if they could add more security features that come part and parcel with their existing solutions, then I think Cisco could be very aggressive in the market."
"If you don't have an in-house design team or outsource to a third party with expertise, the setup will be difficult."
"The user interface needs to be more friendly."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"We have found that their SD-WAN has a lot of scope for improvement."
"Cisco could do more to offer bundling of the SD-WAN and other solutions."
