"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technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."
"The reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is manageability."
"Some of the best features are the SD-WAN platform for VMware and the NSX network virtualization."
"The most valuable features are the orchestration layer, plug and play capabilities, and also the fact that you can either configure it as a full mesh or hard install."
"In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward."
"The biggest feature is called D.M.P.O., or Dynamic Multipath Optimization, which is one of the technologies that they use to deliver or ensure data integrity."
"VMware SD-WAN is scalable."
"When we upgrade to one of the edges, it goes very smoothly."
"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"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."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"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."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"It needs better security."
"Its integration with the security systems would be a nice implementation. They can also consider using a management platform for both network and security operations. This would be a great improvement."
"There should be more automation and self-service features."
"In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features."
"VMware SD-WAN could be improved with more automation and more integration, but each vendor could use these improvements."
"VeloCloud could improve its integration capabilities with other solutions."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
