"SD-WAN is very stable - once it's deployed, you can just forget about it, it runs by itself."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy to deploy."
"Cisco SD-WAN's best features are the development of network links, application control, and bandwidth monitoring."
"There is minimum blind space in this solution."
"We would recommend this solution to customers looking to implement it on a global scale. We recommend the solution, not only because of the functionality or the technical support, but also because of the delivery of the solution, and the docking and upgrading capabilities."
"The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."

"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"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)."

"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."
"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."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
