We performed a comparison between Cisco SD-WAN and Citrix SD-WAN 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."This solution can scale from SMB to the enterprise level. It is very impressive."
"Installation is easy."
"The solution provides good consolidation, centralization, and manageability for edge routers."
"You get security, all of the service you need, and it's easy to deploy."
"The first part that we like is that we can reuse certain hardware, which is a valuable asset. You can use hardware SKUs that already exist in the network. The second part that we like is the integration with the cloud and the measurement of the cloud's quality. These are the two values that this solution gives as compared to other implementations that we have seen."
"The most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN include the DIA and its integration with Cisco Umbrella for DNS security."
"It's a complete solution with many security features."
"The availability of services and combining different connections is most valuable."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix SD-WAN is customization. You are able to customize the solution to your needs."
"The main advantage of Citrix SD-WAN is that it enables fast communication between our branches and data centers. And, with its cloud management features, it also makes the process of adding new branches into our company network much easier."
"The tool is quite cost-effective because it replaces the need for MPLS, which is a bit expensive...Citrix SD-WAN doesn't need much maintenance."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"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)."
"This solution is expensive so pricing is a concern."
"They should enhance the reporting because, as it is today, they need more executive-level reports."
"The price could be better. From a technical side, and everything's working smoothly. Cisco SD-WAN could be cheaper."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve on the ease of integration, the configuration should be easier. At the moment the process is more command line based and it would be better if it was able to be done through an interface."
"The user interface needs improvement. Users should be able to find various features faster without much tweaking."
"The product needs to have more understanding staff in their support team. The tool needs to provide support in every stage of deployment. We did not get the expected support from their team. The product is also not easy to use."
"We recently found some bugs."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"There are a few things that can be improved, are domain-based routing and the slowness of virtual parts, and it may be due to the wrong configuration, which we have been unable to find out."
"The reports need to be improved. We need to have them customized but they don't have that right now. I would like for them to have better system predictions. We don't have that right now. My system may be working fine right now but after making some changes, that can change."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"Given that Citrix SD-WAN solved all our problems by providing us with everything we needed to unify communications with our branches and data centers, I cannot suggest anything further in terms of improvements."
