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."Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away."
"The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time."
"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 product has greatly improved our organization by saving costs for multiple direct connections and simpler cloud configurations."
"Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments."
"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."
"Meraki SD-WAN is scalable."
"t is very stable based on our experience and the application performance has been superb."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring and being able to browse packets dynamically based on priorities."
"I appreciate the cloud-based management feature the most. It's a crucial aspect for me because it allows me to manage the configuration remotely without having to visit the on-premise location. The ability to do this from my home is a major benefit. Additionally, security is good."
"Having to set up a closed system singlehandedly and a lifetime guarantee on the equipment is a valuable part of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the firewall capability. It's also got a very good graphical user interface and is very easy to manage."
"This product has a simple configuration that can be accessed through a web interface or the API."
"Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection."
"There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges."
"There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts"
"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 could be an easy availability of multiple features in the profile."
"It should be easier to install BGP and it should have a better backup."
"The blocklist on the Cisco Meraki side isn't complete or very large. We'd like to see them update and expand this."
"Meraki SD-WAN had trouble prioritizing traffic for VoIP calls."
"The interface in the VPN management system can be a bit complex for users to understand."
"I would like to see more flexibility in our choices of customization for our needs."
"The security and upgrading could improve in this solution."
"The solution is scalable for mid-tier deployments, but not for major ones."
"They stopped doing WAN optimization as a feature set, which is lacking. They need to relook at that and consider WAN optimization as an option."
