Citrix SD-WAN Valuable Features
We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout.
View full review »There's no one specific feature that stands out. It's just the amount of application reliability that they get out of the solution. It ranks the highest, especially when you start looking at video and voice traffic across the network. The way the SD-WAN functions and handles traffic across links makes it a lot better. The user experience is great, and the voice and video performance is more reliable and offers better quality.
It's an easy solution to implement.
The solution is stable.
It is scalable.
The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple.

Citrix has made my work easier and more cost-effective. It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity. Unlike before, I'm not tied to a specific provider. The central deployment feature allows easy configuration updates for all boxes from the head office, streamlining network management. This simplification has been a big plus for our operations.
View full review »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.
Another reason why I like this solution is because it ensures the smooth and effective operation of the company's POS software.
View full review »Citrix SD-WAN's first good feature is its connectivity between branches. The tool is quite cost-effective because it replaces the need for MPLS, which is a bit expensive. Managing Citrix SD-WAN's platform is easy since you can manage it online. One can manage all the devices in different branches on a central portal online.
View full review »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. That's the most important feature I have worked with.
The initial setup is pretty seamless.
The solution is stable.
It’s scalable.
View full review »The most valuable feature of Citrix SD-WAN is customization. You are able to customize the solution to your needs.
View full review »The stability is the main feature of Citrix SD-WAN. You can also upgrade the data packages or have less transmission.
View full review »Lines run Active-Active. So we get better bandwidth usage i.e.we don't have backup lines sitting idle. We see the state of all lines all the time i.e. we don't have backup lines that are broken, that we only discover when a primary line fails. (This has happened even when we had an MPLS network). Downtimes on lines result in a loss of business. This is inevitable given that we run all applications through terminal applications from the head office data centers. In the 4 years running SD-WAN, we have only had 1 branch offline due to line failures where the backup line could not cope with the additional load.
View full review »The most valuable feature is load balancing. This feature allows for multiple links on one device which is a lifesaver when dealing with load shedding.

The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features.

This solution gives me IPv6 layering over IPv4, which is helpful for some environments.
The documentation is very good.

The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository.
The documentation is good.

I don't have the level of detail to discuss the most valuable features of the solution. It doesn't come into my area of focus.
The scalability and stability are quite good in general.

I like that SD-WAN allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections. Citrix provides more options than other solutions so you can balance the amount of bandwidth to any of your applications or solutions that need prioritizing, in addition to putting a hold on things that might block in a communication cut-off or some other event. It provides a more fluid experience to end-users when they're using their applications or desktops. It's user-friendly and easier to manage especially for those who don't have much knowledge about the minutiae of the product. I think Citrix is better than Cisco's solution.
CIFS optimisation is really good and benefits are realised if using ICA also.

It would have to be the HDX WAN Optimization and Application Acceleration.
