Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cato Networks, Citrix and others in WAN Optimization."The tool is quite cost-effective because it replaces the need for MPLS, which is a bit expensive...Citrix SD-WAN doesn't need much maintenance."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"The solution is brilliant, the way it calculates its paths and trails is great."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"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 zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLC is the overall high quality."
"It's easy to set everything up during implementation."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"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 see support for additional reporting."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"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."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"Fortinet FortiWLC is not simple to configure when compared to other solutions. The design could be better."
"One thing that is lacking is, compared with some other brands, the signal is a bit weaker. Ruckus has much wider signal coverage."
