We performed a comparison between Cisco SD-WAN and Nuage Networks 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."When considering the most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN, the decoupling of self-monitoring stands out significantly."
"You can easily scale the product."
"Cisco SD-WAN has separate OMP routing."
"I have found the performance and the Zero-Touch provisioning helpful which makes it easier for us to develop."
"So far, the feature that I like best is the policy configuration manager."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco SD-WAN is its compatibility and integration with the rest of the infrastructure."
"The reliability is high and we have only had to restart it once or twice over the years."
"Customizing SD-WAN is very easy because you can define two colors. You can define two different operators. You can deploy a partial mesh, a full mesh, or hub-and-spoke totally differently. If you want to do this on a DMVPN solution, that's really hard."
"It has good reporting and analytics, that most people can understand without too much difficulty."
"It is stable and reliable."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is network management. The customer is able to manage their network from home or we can also manage the whole customer network."
"We have found that their SD-WAN has a lot of scope for improvement."
"Its license model needs to be improved. They always make the license model too complex. There are too many license models and too many options. They should have a flexible license model. They can improve a lot of things in terms of scalability, templates, and automation, mainly automation for onboarding a number of sites. If you want some new features, it can take quite a long time. If you want a feature and it is not yet developed, you need to have the support of the business units to have the feature developed. If the feature is not on their roadmap, it can take quite some time before you get the feature."
"Cisco products are a little bit complicated, so making them a little bit easier would be an improvement."
"It is the best solution that I ever had, but there might be something better than this in the future."
"Since most user-data is going through the solution, we are concerned about security, as all the information is in the cloud and not on-premises. The user data authentification should be higher to better prevent malicious attacks."
"I would like to see revision cycles to be more stable."
"Cisco SD-WAN's clustering mechanism needs to be improved. If there are more than five milliseconds of latency time between installations of the VM manager, the cluster automatically breaks down."
"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."
"Security is an area that could use some work."
"The setup can be complex."
