Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."In my experience, Meraki is very easy, simple, and clear to set up and use."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki SD-WAN is the Auto VPN."
"The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki SD-WAN is its user-friendly interface."
"I like the entire set of features and the analytics."
"The most valuable feature for me is the security functionality."
"The solution is very stable."
"Meraki SD-WAN is stable and the performance is good."
"Nutanix Flow is straightforward to install. You only need to select a checkmark that you want to enable Nutanix Flow."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution allows us to segregate two virtual machines that are in the same cluster."
"Flow Network Security's most valuable features are user-friendliness, the console, and policy creation."
"Nutanix Flow has a lot of data protection features. It's also valuable for operations and management. It's a big solution that works well with different solutions and is suitable for most business cases."
"The network view was excellent as it allowed us to expand the server view and visualize all connections it made within the environment. This was particularly useful in identifying the path of our data and not just its location within the data center."
"It allows for policies that enable complete visibility and traffic control."
"Nutanix Flow Network Security is a simple solution that is usable, easy to understand, and easy to deploy."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"There is still some work to do when it comes to AI."
"Scalability could be improved. Yes, you can add more than 300 or 400 sites onto it, but because it's not a true SD-WAN and, effectively, it's just a Multi-VRF, it's all hub and spoke at that point. That's the nature of the design, but that's what keeps it simple to administer. So, it's a trade off."
"When there is an issue, I find it difficult to figure out what is going wrong because the logs do not provide as much information as solutions from HP."
"Meraki offers the client basic security, it is not the same as what FortiGate is offering."
"Meraki SD-WAN had trouble prioritizing traffic for VoIP calls."
"A run optimization feature is needed to reduce the bandwidth for any uploaded content."
"This vendor has issues with the supply chain that need to be improved."
"They stopped doing WAN optimization as a feature set, which is lacking. They need to relook at that and consider WAN optimization as an option."
"The documentation offered by the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"While the graphical interface of Nutanix Flow Network Security could have been improved, and some of the reporting features needed extra work, the product's features were similar to VMware's NSX. The difference lay more in the presentation and user interface."
"We would like the reporting functionality of this solution to be improved."
"For customers who are running Nutanix Flow and AHV, the largest area for improvement is in the disaster recovery environments. To automate the populate of rules from one side to the other side in case of disaster you report everything on the disaster recovery site, and you have all the rules automatically applied. This was something that was being built when I left Nutanix. It might already be available. Additionally, the usability of the rules editor could improve."
"The most difficult part is the configuration of the initial blueprints."
"Nutanix Flow's networking features could use some improvement. Also, I don't know if it's currently supporting load balancing or not."
"I would rate Flow Network Security's stability seven out of ten - it could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
