"The most valuable feature of Citrix SD-WAN is customization. You are able to customize the solution to your needs."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"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."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"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."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"The analytics is the most valuable feature because it was very granular and very comprehensive, although a little complicated to use. If you're really interested in knowing what's happening on your network, it's a very good solution. That was the .NET Profiler part of the solution."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"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."

"I would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"Given that Citrix SD-WAN solved all our problems by providing us with everything we needed to unify communications with our branches and data centers, I cannot suggest anything further in terms of improvements."
"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."
"The routing scalability needs improvement. We have run into a lot of limitations and also primarily from a routine perspective, things like RSPs line support. It was supportive but not really supportive."
