Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Juniper, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"This tool resolves the overlapping of CIDR’s IP addresses in a multi-cloud environment, which is its best feature. The product also gives packet-level details on the data that has been put from one cloud to another. Currently, no other solution in the market can give this kind of detail. There is also the high VPN connectivity which gives high throughput. Internet service providers have a limitation on large migrations like 10 Gigabytes or 2 to 2.3 GBPS. However, this tool gives you a functionality where you can bundle multiple tunnels into one tunnel. Thereafter, you can transfer the data from one environment to another or from on-prem to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"The connections are seamless, and we can access the static clouds on the platform itself. We are also able to trace the issues. The most valuable features of the solution are security, user interface, and performance."
"Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."
"The product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"The most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN include the DIA and its integration with Cisco Umbrella for DNS security."
"I like the feature that lets you transfer from old devices to new devices without changing the hardware and subscription."
"It is really easy to deploy and use. It is also easy to use for failovers and designing solutions. The rollout is really quick. It is easy to adjust and roll out."
"The deployment is quite simple and straightforward."
"The best feature of this technology that is available to us is the ability to do better load-balancing."
"So far, the feature that I like best is the policy configuration manager."
"Any technical support we needed was great."
"The user experience is pretty good."
"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."
"The tool has a very limited local presence in the GCC market. I am based in Dubai, UAE and it would be very difficult for me to reach out to US staff for technical discussion during the tool’s implementation. The tool needs to focus on the GCC market which includes UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. There is nobody to help you out in this region."
"There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"The installation is not easy. If you have experience and it is not your first time doing the installation, it can be easier."
"Some competitors are much faster in providing out-of-the-box solutions, more innovative solutions. In terms of innovation, in many cases, they're lagging behind."
"It would be better if it provided more visibility. At present, we can't troubleshoot in real time."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve the integration with the cloud."
"The security features could be improved."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The solution could be more secure. Security is always a priority for us."
"If you don't have an in-house design team or outsource to a third party with expertise, the setup will be difficult."
