We performed a comparison between Citrix SD-WAN and Prisma 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."It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"The solution is brilliant, the way it calculates its paths and trails is great."
"The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix SD-WAN is customization. You are able to customize the solution to your needs."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"If the MPLS goes down, there is a really smooth transition for a branch site to take traffic over the Internet. It will advertise the routes of that site in a jiffy."
"Prisma SD-WAN is intuitive. We have a better idea of the different tools we can use and jump between the menus quickly."
"When it comes to supporting large, complex, network architectures, it's a very simple architecture. The main component is the fabric. It's very easy to troubleshoot if there is an issue happening in the underlying network."
"It is flexible to use the internet connection via local breakouts without going to data centers."
"The gateway is available on the cloud which allows you access from anywhere and still connects to your home gateway."
"I like the link monitoring and analytics. These are the features that set Prisma apart from other products. Prisma works well with large, complex networks. One of my clients is a top bank in the United States, and Prisma has performed well for that customer."
"I like that the integration with Palo Alto is easy."
"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."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
"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 initial setup could be a bit easier."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"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."
"Given that Citrix SD-WAN solved all our problems by providing us with everything we needed to unify communications with our branches and data centers, I cannot suggest anything further in terms of improvements."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"The only con is the pricing because it's more premium."
"We are incorporating their zone-based firewalls. Prisma SD-WAN has limited documentation on how it manipulates traffic, e.g., how it is interacting with TCP and UDP. We recently had some traffic that was black holing. We literally had to do packet captures to see that the new zone-based firewall, which runs on top of Prisma SD-WAN, was causing issues."
"Prisma SD-WAN's technical support should be improved."
"Customer support is our biggest pain point. The quality of support has gone down a little since we initially deployed this product. I don't know if this is due to turnover at Palo Alto or a lack of training. It is now taking one or two days to get an initial response that says, "Hey, we've looked into this, can you pull this data for us?" In the past, we'd immediately get a response."
"The tool needs to work on price and complexity."
"Event correlation and analysis capabilities do not help minimize the number of alarms from a single event. That is the problem. We are getting a lot of incidents, and there is some issue with the correlation. That is still a drawback."
"Prisma SD-WAN should provide more flexibility and scalability on the hardware."
"There are two parallel things that we want Palo Alto to work on. First, customers want a unified appliance that does the work of all firewalls in addition to SD-WAN. Second, the cloud presence should be completely automated. If I purchase the SASE architecture, I shouldn't worry about deployments in Prisma Access or on Prisma SD-WAN. It should be deployed in one go."
