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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"The solution's ability to prioritize traffic is its most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable."
"This is a high availability solution that is easy to configure and has a nice GUI."
"SD-WAN is a complete enterprise solution for securing traffic."
"The solution operates via zero-touch configuration."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is easy to monitor and manage."
"The most interesting feature is the amount of information you can get from overseeing the system from a centralized place."
"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 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."
"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."
"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"
"The solution could be improved if it added more features, especially monitoring and reporting features."
"The solution lacks controllers."
"This solution can only support up to two WAN ports."
"From the vice perspective, they just are not as robust as some of the other vendors. They have limitations in throughput and the number of circuits that they can support on a wide area network. Their higher-end security is all cloud-based. They have some capability with the premise-based solutions, but the higher ends are all cloud-based, and that's via Cisco Umbrella."
"There could be more options for integration between other devices — sort of being able to more easily make everything integrated in one solution."
"Meraki offers the client basic security, it is not the same as what FortiGate is offering."
"Scalability could be improved. Yes, you can add more than 300 or 400 sites onto it, but because it's not a true SD-WAN and, effectively, it's just a Multi-VRF, it's all hub and spoke at that point. That's the nature of the design, but that's what keeps it simple to administer. So, it's a trade off."
"The adoption of endpoint services or endpoint security should be developed in future releases."
