We performed a comparison between Aviatrix and Meraki SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is easy to monitor and manage."
"The solution is scalable."
"This product has a simple configuration that can be accessed through a web interface or the API."
"Zero touch configuration onsite based on the manager system's pre-configuration and the VPN automation set."
"The most interesting feature is the amount of information you can get from overseeing the system from a centralized place."
"This product contributed to a huge benefit in our bottom line on operational costs."
"The advantage you have with Cisco Meraki is that they take a lot of that complexity out of the backend."
"The solution is a whole vertical solution, so it doesn't need any other components in order to provide basic features."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."
"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"
"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."
"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."
"The adoption of endpoint services or endpoint security should be developed in future releases."
"There are currently issues with NAT-Unfriendly situations on G4 networks that should be resolved."
"I would like improved stability in Meraki SD-WAN."
"An area for improvement would be to add 4G bonding and allow Meraki devices to support dual 4G SIM cards."
"The solution is scalable for mid-tier deployments, but not for major ones."
"People are struggling a little bit with the lead times right now. It’s hard to actually get the hardware."
"The security could improve in Meraki SD-WAN."
"Meraki SD-WAN could improve by adding wireless access time-scheduled and overall capabilities."
