We performed a comparison between Citrix SD-WAN and Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform 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."Downtime for branch offices is now almost zero. We have 100% real-time visibility into all of our lines. MPLS links have been replaced with lower-cost links, saving a larger percentage of line costs. Overall, I see SD-WAN as a must. And the Citrix SD-WAN product has delivered on expectations and exceeded them. (With later firmware updates we now have good firewall capabilities in the product too)."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"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."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"Versa is a good centralized solution, where you're setting up your infrastructure in a data center type thing."
"It is very easy to deploy. The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good."
"Overall, it's nice and very user friendly. That's what makes it so successful. They give you complicated features but with a very simple user interface, and that's been a big success for them."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."

"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"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."
"I would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"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."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"Certainly, there are areas that require enhancement, and the current focus is on improvements. Presently, I believe that the emphasis should be on enhancing user interface (UI) features, particularly over end devices. The issue arises when attempting to log in to Versa from other devices, as the UI is not device-specific. Consequently, guiding someone to log in to Versa antivirus becomes challenging. Despite the absence of issues on the website, the lack of a login scope impedes graphical representation of user data or databases. Since work databases support only a limited range of features, I recommend augmenting features for end devices to address these limitations."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
"The smaller units lack a lot of functionality."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
