Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."This product contributed to a huge benefit in our bottom line on operational costs."
"Meraki makes you believe that anything is possible."
"t is very stable based on our experience and the application performance has been superb."
"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring and being able to browse packets dynamically based on priorities."
"The solution operates via zero-touch configuration."
"It's made managing our client's networks extremely easy, regardless of my location. Being able to hop on my cell phone to see what's happening on a client's network makes everything much more manageable."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution has a great UI."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution allows us to segregate two virtual machines that are in the same cluster."
"Nutanix Flow is straightforward to install. You only need to select a checkmark that you want to enable Nutanix Flow."
"The network view was excellent as it allowed us to expand the server view and visualize all connections it made within the environment. This was particularly useful in identifying the path of our data and not just its location within the data center."
"Flow Network Security's most valuable features are user-friendliness, the console, and policy creation."
"It allows for policies that enable complete visibility and traffic control."
"Nutanix Flow has a lot of data protection features. It's also valuable for operations and management. It's a big solution that works well with different solutions and is suitable for most business cases."
"Nutanix Flow Network Security is a simple solution that is usable, easy to understand, and easy to deploy."
"We'd like features that provide more transparency when there are issues. Right now, it's hard to get clarity on problems. We need more visibility."
"The tool has challenges with features like multiple-link support, which currently only supports up to three links. Additionally, it doesn't offer router integration, and forward error correction is another missing feature. The scalability of Meraki SD-WAN is good, but there are limitations to the performance of the concentrator devices, especially in larger deployments. While the cloud scale is not an issue, the performance of the devices in branches and data centres is limited."
"With Meraki, it's more of a basic connectivity. It doesn't have all the feature sets that a Cisco SD-WAN solution has. It's limited."
"I think they should enhance the security."
"The adoption of endpoint services or endpoint security should be developed in future releases."
"I'm not too familiar with the Meraki environment, but I suppose more automation is always a good thing."
"The VPN client could be improved."
"The port density should be improved because this solution is limited to two."
"Nutanix Flow's networking features could use some improvement. Also, I don't know if it's currently supporting load balancing or not."
"For customers who are running Nutanix Flow and AHV, the largest area for improvement is in the disaster recovery environments. To automate the populate of rules from one side to the other side in case of disaster you report everything on the disaster recovery site, and you have all the rules automatically applied. This was something that was being built when I left Nutanix. It might already be available. Additionally, the usability of the rules editor could improve."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"We would like the reporting functionality of this solution to be improved."
"The documentation offered by the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would rate Flow Network Security's stability seven out of ten - it could be improved."
"The most difficult part is the configuration of the initial blueprints."
"While the graphical interface of Nutanix Flow Network Security could have been improved, and some of the reporting features needed extra work, the product's features were similar to VMware's NSX. The difference lay more in the presentation and user interface."
