We performed a comparison between Citrix SD-WAN and Peplink SpeedFusion based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"The scalability and stability are quite good in general."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"Downtime for branch offices is now almost zero. We have 100% real-time visibility into all of our lines. MPLS links have been replaced with lower-cost links, saving a larger percentage of line costs. Overall, I see SD-WAN as a must. And the Citrix SD-WAN product has delivered on expectations and exceeded them. (With later firmware updates we now have good firewall capabilities in the product too)."
"The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"It is a very stable product."
"The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy."
"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."
"In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely."
"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."
"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."
"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 see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"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."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."
"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."
"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue."
"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."
"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network."
"The stability has room for improvement."
