"The scalability is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features in Cisco SD-WAN are the QoS, AI, and simple interface for users to access."
"Cisco SD-WAN's most valuable feature is the ease of transition."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a very good product."
"This solution comes with comprehensive technical support."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Some competitors are much faster in providing out-of-the-box solutions, more innovative solutions. In terms of innovation, in many cases, they're lagging behind."
"The integration of Cisco SD-WAN with cloud solutions could improve. For example, if any of the applications are hosted in the Amazon AWS cloud we can use a virtual transit gateway for integrating Cisco SD-WAN."
"They should enhance the reporting because, as it is today, they need more executive-level reports."
"When you buy the equipment, they should already put it into your cloud account. It should already be set up so that we can manage with vBond. We came across an issue where it wasn't resolved in the DNS. We are using Umbrella, so we need to create a VPN IPSec tunnel to Umbrella to enable the users to browse. I would really like to see an internal built-in firewall so that we don't have to go to Umbrella. This functionality might already be there. We are quite new to this solution, and we are still learning about it."
"What I find should be improved is the possibility of really separating the software layer from the hardware layer since today the current offer is not well adopted by the service providers"
"Customers require features that are secure for endpoints, on-premises, and for the cloud."
"If you don't have an in-house design team or outsource to a third party with expertise, the setup will be difficult."
"One of the major areas that Cisco can improve on with their SD-WAN offering is their security features. When compared with Fortinet, who have what they call their 'security pillars' (e.g. firewall and security features built-in to their SD-WAN solutions), Cisco generally comes up short. With Cisco, if you need a security component, you have to pay more to get it done. So if they could add more security features that come part and parcel with their existing solutions, then I think Cisco could be very aggressive in the market."
"The solution could be more affordable."
