We performed a comparison between Citrix SD-WAN and Huawei Enterprise Routers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"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 reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"Downtime for branch offices is now almost zero. We have 100% real-time visibility into all of our lines. MPLS links have been replaced with lower-cost links, saving a larger percentage of line costs. Overall, I see SD-WAN as a must. And the Citrix SD-WAN product has delivered on expectations and exceeded them. (With later firmware updates we now have good firewall capabilities in the product too)."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"The product is good, easy to manage , and works fine."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory."
"The setup is simple."
"I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"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."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"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."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."
