We performed a comparison between Aviatrix and Meraki SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The connections are seamless, and we can access the static clouds on the platform itself. We are also able to trace the issues. The most valuable features of the solution are security, user interface, and performance."
"The product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."
"Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"This tool resolves the overlapping of CIDR’s IP addresses in a multi-cloud environment, which is its best feature. The product also gives packet-level details on the data that has been put from one cloud to another. Currently, no other solution in the market can give this kind of detail. There is also the high VPN connectivity which gives high throughput. Internet service providers have a limitation on large migrations like 10 Gigabytes or 2 to 2.3 GBPS. However, this tool gives you a functionality where you can bundle multiple tunnels into one tunnel. Thereafter, you can transfer the data from one environment to another or from on-prem to the cloud."
"The solution has a great UI."
"The solution is a whole vertical solution, so it doesn't need any other components in order to provide basic features."
"It is easy to monitor and manage."
"The features of SD-WAN are very appealing because you have a centralized dashboard and multiple options to terminate. You have an internet leased line, which means that you can connect your broadband and 3G and 4G cellular networks on the same router. This makes it easy for us to manage everything on a single dashboard. That is, you can integrate multiple stacks in such a way that you do not have to maintain any other dashboard. You get single-pane-of-glass accessibility with Meraki."
"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring and being able to browse packets dynamically based on priorities."
"Meraki makes you believe that anything is possible."
"Meraki SD-WAN is stable and the performance is good."
"What I found most valuable in Meraki SD-WAN is its simplicity. I also like its manageability."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"The tool has a very limited local presence in the GCC market. I am based in Dubai, UAE and it would be very difficult for me to reach out to US staff for technical discussion during the tool’s implementation. The tool needs to focus on the GCC market which includes UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. There is nobody to help you out in this region."
"The solution needs to improve the onboarding architecture."
"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"There could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."
"The area I think this solution should improve is the pricing."
"Meraki offers the client basic security, it is not the same as what FortiGate is offering."
"The blocklist on the Cisco Meraki side isn't complete or very large. We'd like to see them update and expand this."
"Overall, we are satisfied with the support, although I cannot state this unequivocally."
"The solution lacks a certain amount of functionality and features."
"There is still some work to do when it comes to AI."
"The default classes should be expanded."
"They need to offer proper integration of the security features."
