Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cato Networks, Riverbed and others in WAN Optimization."The solution is brilliant, the way it calculates its paths and trails is great."
"The tool is quite cost-effective because it replaces the need for MPLS, which is a bit expensive...Citrix SD-WAN doesn't need much maintenance."
"They have a zero downtime failover mechanism, where, when there's a link failure or a link weakness, or bad link conditions, they provide the ability to fail back seamlessly."
"The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."
"We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for."
"I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"The firewall reporting could be easier to use and filter. (It works well enough, but if I need to give an area for improvement, I think this would be it.). The built-in reporting on the product in this regard is not great."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"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."
"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 price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Sometimes when using high availability, the second firewall does not come up immediately if the first one goes down."
"It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want."
"However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution."
