Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."It is very stable with very good firmware."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco SD-WAN is its compatibility and integration with the rest of the infrastructure."
"The deployment is quite simple and straightforward."
"The solution provides good consolidation, centralization, and manageability for edge routers."
"This solution comes with comprehensive technical support."
"The centralized management is the most important feature. We can monitor what is going on at every location in our network with just one center."
"So far, the feature that I like best is the policy configuration manager."
"Customizing SD-WAN is very easy because you can define two colors. You can define two different operators. You can deploy a partial mesh, a full mesh, or hub-and-spoke totally differently. If you want to do this on a DMVPN solution, that's really hard."
"The analytics is the most valuable feature because it was very granular and very comprehensive, although a little complicated to use. If you're really interested in knowing what's happening on your network, it's a very good solution. That was the .NET Profiler part of the solution."
"The user interface needs improvement. Users should be able to find various features faster without much tweaking."
"The solution could be a bit cheaper."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"There should be more security features in the hybrid and on-premise deployments of Cisco SD-WAN. The cloud has most of the security features."
"Cisco SD-WAN doesn't have automation capabilities, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and isn't IOT-based."
"The main issue is that not in the technology, but it comes back comparison. When we do a comparison with other SD WAN solutions, they are priced better."
"Cisco needs to improve the technical support for this solution."
"The process of onboarding the vSmart, vBond, and vManage should be improved to make it easier to manage in general."
"The routing scalability needs improvement. We have run into a lot of limitations and also primarily from a routine perspective, things like RSPs line support. It was supportive but not really supportive."
