A scalable solution for MCN controller but lacks technical supports, upgrades
There are a few things that can be improved, are domain-based routing and the slowness of virtual parts, and it may be due to the wrong configuration, which we have been unable to find out. Previously, we faced some issues with the slowness part. Apart from that, feature like end gateway level antivirus. We are currently using a NetFlow proxy to establish a virtual position for the NetFlow. Our current environment has many use cases, but we are not using them on the Citrix SD-WAN. When I navigate the NCL part, it involves configuration. I want to highlight this disadvantage. Sometimes, when we push the configuration, it tries to push it to all branch locations. This process takes a lot of time, nearly 30 minutes, to push a single change from the NCL. Overall, I don't think Citrix meets our use cases what we have. This is based on my feedback after using it for the past year and working on this Citrix SD-WAN. However, from my experience, it is the worst solution I have seen. There's no domain-based routing, which is horrible. That's why we are moving to other products. We have checked our use case requirements with Fortinet, Palo Alto, and they meet them. I will consider the PoC or another OEM. There are many things in the area you need to be prompt, like the automation part. If any link or device goes down, alerting notification, etc. We need to perform and highlight so many things to your management. This should be improved.

Great multi-tenancy and routing functionalities but needs more security capabilities
We primarily use the solution for connectivity to the majority of our customers, for national and international deployments.  Their multi-tenancy and routing functionalities are both great. It is stable and reliable. The solution can scale. Technical support has been fine. Security needs to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix SD-WAN is customization. You are able to customize the solution to your needs."
"CIFS optimisation is really good and benefits are realised if using ICA also."
"We tried to use it, and it worked well."
"The scalability and stability are quite good in general."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"The main advantage of Citrix SD-WAN is that it enables fast communication between our branches and data centers. And, with its cloud management features, it also makes the process of adding new branches into our company network much easier."
"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."
"One of the many benefits of Nuage Networks is VoIP, as it will maintain a call session even if you lose an uplink."
"It is stable and reliable."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is network management. The customer is able to manage their network from home or we can also manage the whole customer network."
"Version 6.0 now is expected by mid of this year which reflects a maturity I've never experienced with any other network virtualization system."
"It has good reporting and analytics, that most people can understand without too much difficulty."
"Nuage Networks provides a professional solution experience; they are a large corporation developing new features all the time that are very useful."
 

Cons

"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"I would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"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."
"I would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
"The solution's licensing model could be improved."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"The price of the solution could be more affordable."
"Security is an area that could use some work."
"Security is an area that could use some work."
"Educational materials should be available for such a mature system!"
"The setup can be complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe that Citrix SD-WAN is a good investment, but I do not have the information to be more specific."
"The license was a one-time purchase. It's expensive."
"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's a little bit on the high side compared to the other products."
"As NetScaler is now, I find it quite pricey."
"Citrix SD-WAN is quite an affordable product."
"It is a bit expensive. A cheaper product would be good, but everybody likes things to be cheaper. We bought the devices up front, and then we pay for the annual support."
"The price of the subscription should be cheaper."
"I would say, from our cost perspective, they are extremely competitive."
"The price of the solution could be more affordable. Customers want to use their own cheap connection and also do not want to pay too much for services from this solution, it becomes too expensive."
