Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cato Networks, Citrix and others in WAN Optimization."It features intuitive proxy policy deployment using a VPN."
"Proxy Solution and ADN and their integration capability with Blue Coat director are positive features."
"Since the implementation of this solution, the bandwidth has decreased and the performance in terms of Internet access has increased."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"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 best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"We cannot automate the product since the IP address can only be assigned after acquisition of the serial number."
"It would be great if the product had inbuilt queuing for Quality of Service."
"It lacks deployment over multiple platforms and integration with SDN architecture."
"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."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"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."
"The communication around the life cycle would have been really helpful. The main issue we have had is related to the life cycle because some of the things that we are using were discontinued. They were discontinued within a year after we had purchased it, which is a bit painful. If we had known that, we would've made some other decisions."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
