Network Admin at Naivas Ltd
Seamlessly combines Internet and MPLS
Citrix has made my work easier and more cost-effective. It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity. Unlike before, I'm not tied to a specific provider. The central deployment feature allows easy configuration updates for all boxes from the head office, streamlining network management. This simplification has been a big plus for our operations.
Akshay Kharkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at Manschaft IT Pvt Ltd
Beneficial technology, reliable, and simple deployment
Our client has a data center and all the applications servers and servers are in their data center. We design a solution, for all their branches. If they wanted to access the internet or the applications, they route traffic to their data center and then can access these applications with FatPipe…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"Downtime for branch offices is now almost zero. We have 100% real-time visibility into all of our lines. MPLS links have been replaced with lower-cost links, saving a larger percentage of line costs. Overall, I see SD-WAN as a must. And the Citrix SD-WAN product has delivered on expectations and exceeded them. (With later firmware updates we now have good firewall capabilities in the product too)."
"We tried to use it, and it worked well."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"The functionality of Citrix SD-WAN is awesome and I fell in love with it on this deployment because it's so easy to use."
"The other banks, bank branches, require good connectivity, which is very important for a branch to have, and they managed to have an SLA of almost 100%."
"We migrated an online gambling company in South Africa off MPLS onto our SD-WAN solution, and they're saving millions every month purely on MPLS spend."
"My advice to others is if you are looking for an SD-WAN solution then FatPipe SD-WAN is a good choice."
"The most valuable feature of FatPipe SD-WAN is it's based on SD-WAN technology."
 

Cons

"It is a bit expensive. A cheaper product would be good, but everybody likes things to be cheaper."
"The price of the subscription should be cheaper."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"Citrix SD-WAN does not have the SD-WAN with one optimization in a single license. Other competitors have this option and it should be added to this solution."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"The initial setup is not that easy."
"The communication around the life cycle would have been really helpful. The main issue we have had is related to the life cycle because some of the things that we are using were discontinued. They were discontinued within a year after we had purchased it, which is a bit painful. If we had known that, we would've made some other decisions."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on the scale. In our case, it would have been better if we had known about the life cycling steps, but otherwise, it is worth the money."
"It would be helpful to have a demo license available for customers who want to prove the concept and conduct a proof of concept (POC) before committing to the solution. This is particularly important for customers in Egypt who often require a demonstration of the solution's features and compatibility with their needs before making any investment or incurring costs. Providing a demo license would allow customers to assess whether the solution would meet their needs or not."
"Citrix SD-WAN is quite an affordable product."
"It's a little bit on the high side compared to the other products."
"The price is relatively expensive."
"I'm not quite sure of the price ranges. Roughly, the hidden devices can scale up to $20K for one appliance. However, the branch CPs are USD $1,000 to $2,500."
"The license was a one-time purchase. It's expensive."
"The price of the subscription should be cheaper."
