We performed a comparison between Cisco SD-WAN and Citrix 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."If I have to give a neutral view of all the SD-WAN platforms that I have known so far, Cisco is good in routing."
"The reliability is high and we have only had to restart it once or twice over the years."
"It has a very good GUI."
"The product helps to aggregate network links. The tool increases security and makes it possible for you to have remote workers."
"The tool is stable, and its troubleshooting capabilities are good. It helps us identify and fix any issues. It simplifies VPN setup for both side-to-side and multisite connections. This allows for easier data sharing between main and branch offices, creating a local network feel even for distant sites."
"It's a complete solution with many security features."
"It is very stable with very good firmware."
"I like the feature that lets you transfer from old devices to new devices without changing the hardware and subscription."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The main advantage of Citrix SD-WAN is that it enables fast communication between our branches and data centers. And, with its cloud management features, it also makes the process of adding new branches into our company network much easier."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"The solution could have a better web interface to simplify changing configurations."
"Cyber security should also be implemented in the solution, along with maybe implementation of AI/ML."
"We had some issues with Cisco SD-WAN but somehow we troubleshot it and things are going well. The issues have not been a large problem."
"It is the best solution that I ever had, but there might be something better than this in the future."
"The platform needs to be updated to be more stable and simple."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve the integration with the cloud."
"The user interface needs improvement. Users should be able to find various features faster without much tweaking."
"I would like to see features related to security compliance, including a view of compliance with standards. With this, I should be able to do an audit of my network with SDWAN."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"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 would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
