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."The cloud environment, including cloud security integration, is very valuable because of the many API integrations with the SD-WAN."
"The primary advantage we've observed is the simplification of deployment, leading to decreased IT costs and enhanced operational efficiency."
"You can easily scale the product."
"SD-WAN is very stable - once it's deployed, you can just forget about it, it runs by itself."
"The solution provides good consolidation, centralization, and manageability for edge routers."
"The product's brand recognition is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution's application control and application traffic steering tool are its most valuable aspects in terms of how we utilize the product."
"It is very simple and easy to manage, compared to other methods."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"The tool is quite cost-effective because it replaces the need for MPLS, which is a bit expensive...Citrix SD-WAN doesn't need much maintenance."
"The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"The main advantage of Citrix SD-WAN is that it enables fast communication between our branches and data centers. And, with its cloud management features, it also makes the process of adding new branches into our company network much easier."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive and could be cheaper."
"Customers require features that are secure for endpoints, on-premises, and for the cloud."
"The Cisco way of thinking is to create umbrella-like solutions. I would prefer it if this solution was separate from the entire monstrous Cisco portfolio."
"The solution is very costly."
"This solution could be improved with a simpler implementation process and licensing model."
"It should also be much more affordable for a larger number of customers."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward, but it gets easier the more deployments you complete."
"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."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"The firewall reporting could be easier to use and filter. (It works well enough, but if I need to give an area for improvement, I think this would be it.). The built-in reporting on the product in this regard is not great."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"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."
"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."
