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 SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission."
"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 allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"The solution is brilliant, the way it calculates its paths and trails is great."
"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 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 people we deal with is a local partner in Cambodia and we can get good support from them."
"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"The Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is a scalable product."
"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."
"Next Generation Firewall's best feature is that it can be managed on one platform."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the traffic and the logging. They have real-time logins for traffic logs. Troubleshooting was very easy for me."
"When our customer needs some optimization, along with performance and security. If they want everything in one package, I recommend Forcepoint because they have everything."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Even though the monitoring is pretty good, there is some room for improvement there."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"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 could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"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."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"
"Forcepoint would be improved if there were more training available."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
