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."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 product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"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."
"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 dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is pretty easy to configure."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki SD-WAN is its user-friendly interface."
"I like the entire set of features and the analytics."
"The solution is a whole vertical solution, so it doesn't need any other components in order to provide basic features."
"The Meraki SD-WAN solution is simple to deploy."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"
"There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"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."
"Meraki SD-WAN could improve by adding wireless access time-scheduled and overall capabilities."
"We'd like features that provide more transparency when there are issues. Right now, it's hard to get clarity on problems. We need more visibility."
"It should be easier to install BGP and it should have a better backup."
"There are currently issues with NAT-Unfriendly situations on G4 networks that should be resolved."
"With Meraki, it's more of a basic connectivity. It doesn't have all the feature sets that a Cisco SD-WAN solution has. It's limited."
"Some systems use some applications with the wrong data application. It bypasses the network, and you need to block that application on Meraki. We first try to put in passwords to do it and the network is not really safe. It's not 100%, the network can be bypassed."
"Meraki is more or less intelligent load balancing, although a lot of features are missing that our SD-WAN solutions will have."
"The only area for improvement in Meraki SD-WAN is its licensing model, as well as its cost structure."
