Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cato Networks, Citrix and others in WAN Optimization."The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"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."
"They have a zero downtime failover mechanism, where, when there's a link failure or a link weakness, or bad link conditions, they provide the ability to fail back seamlessly."
"The solution is brilliant, the way it calculates its paths and trails is great."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"The reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"The scalability and stability are quite good in general."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."
"We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for."
"I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"The firewall reporting could be easier to use and filter. (It works well enough, but if I need to give an area for improvement, I think this would be it.). The built-in reporting on the product in this regard is not great."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"I would like to either see the price reduced or have it packaged with other products to give better value for the money."
"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."
"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."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Sometimes when using high availability, the second firewall does not come up immediately if the first one goes down."
"It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want."
"However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution."
