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 solution has great scalability."
"The product's brand recognition is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The centralized management is the most important feature. We can monitor what is going on at every location in our network with just one center."
"Cisco SD-WAN has separate OMP routing."
"The solution can scale. We haven't had any issues doing so."
"The availability of services and combining different connections is most valuable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The best feature of this technology that is available to us is the ability to do better load-balancing."
"As compared to the other major vendors in the SD-WAN market, such as VeloCloud, Cisco, and others, the tunnel-free and secure vector routing technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Session Smart Router is its unique SDR channel."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"The security features could be improved."
"One area for improvement in Cisco SD-WAN is reporting. The report needs to give more visibility to the customer. The security feature in Cisco SD-WAN also needs improvement, particularly if Cisco wants to challenge other brands, such as Fortinet."
"Cisco could do more to offer bundling of the SD-WAN and other solutions."
"I would like to see revision cycles to be more stable."
"It is the best solution that I ever had, but there might be something better than this in the future."
"The process of onboarding the vSmart, vBond, and vManage should be improved to make it easier to manage in general."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve the integration with the cloud."
"The product's application delivery feature needs improvement."
"The UI of the SSR conductor is the main part where improvements can be done. Today, for every configuration step, you have to do a series of clicks. What we are missing there are wizards. For example, I have two applications, and I want one application to be prioritized against the other. In such a case, a wizard for assigning policies to a service without configuring each step by hand would be very helpful. There should be an overhaul of the GUI of the conductor. The functionality they have got in the Mist portal should be baked into the conductor itself. It would be really great, but as we all know, that won't happen."
"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."
"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."
