"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)."
"The scalability and stability are quite good in general."
"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."

"It lacks deployment over multiple platforms and integration with SDN architecture."
"We cannot automate the product since the IP address can only be assigned after acquisition of the serial number."
"Citrix SD-WAN does not have the SD-WAN with one optimization in a single license. Other competitors have this option and it should be added to this solution."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"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 price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
