"As compared to the other major vendors in the SD-WAN market, such as VeloCloud, Cisco, and others, the tunnel-free and secure vector routing technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."
"It is very simple and easy to manage, compared to other methods."
"The best feature of this technology that is available to us is the ability to do better load-balancing."
"Cisco SD-WAN's best features are the development of network links, application control, and bandwidth monitoring."
"Configuration interfaces are quite easy and intuitive. Being a part of the Cisco environment, Cisco SD-WAN is quite straightforward."
"Installation is easy."
"I have found the performance and the Zero-Touch provisioning helpful which makes it easier for us to develop."
"From my observations, Cisco has been rolling out new features every other day, so I would say their speed of innovation is one of the most valuable aspects for me."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a stable solution."
"The reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"The UI of the SSR conductor is the main part where improvements can be done. Today, for every configuration step, you have to do a series of clicks. What we are missing there are wizards. For example, I have two applications, and I want one application to be prioritized against the other. In such a case, a wizard for assigning policies to a service without configuring each step by hand would be very helpful. There should be an overhaul of the GUI of the conductor. The functionality they have got in the Mist portal should be baked into the conductor itself. It would be really great, but as we all know, that won't happen."
"Cisco could do more to offer bundling of the SD-WAN and other solutions."
"The solution is a bit complicated."
"The deployment is complex."
"In the next release, Cisco should focus on simplifying the configuration of SD-WAN. SD-WAN has a lot of room to grow."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve the integration with the cloud."
"The price could be better. From a technical side, and everything's working smoothly. Cisco SD-WAN could be cheaper."
"The solution needs to be more flexible around legacy devices."
"The installation is not easy. If you have experience and it is not your first time doing the installation, it can be easier."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
