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."
"Encryption, which is native to the solution, is a valuable feature. Also, central management, onboarding of devices, QS, and routing applications are all okay."
"The availability of services and combining different connections is most valuable."
"The cloud environment, including cloud security integration, is very valuable because of the many API integrations with the SD-WAN."
"This solution comes with comprehensive technical support."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco SD-WAN is its compatibility and integration with the rest of the infrastructure."
"It's a scalable solution."
"So far, the feature that I like best is the policy configuration manager."
"The solution is brilliant, the way it calculates its paths and trails is great."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"They have a zero downtime failover mechanism, where, when there's a link failure or a link weakness, or bad link conditions, they provide the ability to fail back seamlessly."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"The solution needs to be more flexible around legacy devices."
"The initial setup could be a bit less complex."
"Compresson deduplication should be added."
"We had some issues with Cisco SD-WAN but somehow we troubleshot it and things are going well. The issues have not been a large problem."
"Since most user-data is going through the solution, we are concerned about security, as all the information is in the cloud and not on-premises. The user data authentification should be higher to better prevent malicious attacks."
"Cisco products are a little bit complicated, so making them a little bit easier would be an improvement."
"Cisco SD-WAN is not as easy to deploy as the Meraki and FortiGate solutions. The zero-touch deployment could be a lot better. The deployment and initial setup are complicated and could be better."
"Customers require features that are secure for endpoints, on-premises, and for the cloud."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"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."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"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."
