"Cisco SD-WAN is a highly stable solution."
"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."
"From my observations, Cisco has been rolling out new features every other day, so I would say their speed of innovation is one of the most valuable aspects for me."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a very good product."
"Cisco SD-WAN's best features are the development of network links, application control, and bandwidth monitoring."
"The solution is great at aggregating the traffic and then sending it in one direction."
"The most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN include the DIA and its integration with Cisco Umbrella for DNS security."
"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."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix SD-WAN is customization. You are able to customize the solution to your needs."
"The SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is security, as it gives me the port bindings that cannot be accomplished using other solutions."
"The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"We are using it widely for the local record for SaaS-based applications. Another valuable feature is a local breakout."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"They have taken away our ability to do what we are good at, which is working on the CLI, the interface right on the router. They have limited the commands so much that troubleshooting is nearly impossible."
"The client portal needs to be improved in order to make the solution much better."
"I would recommend better-integrated management."
"The deployment is complex."
"The price could be better. From a technical side, and everything's working smoothly. Cisco SD-WAN could be cheaper."
"In the next release, Cisco should focus on simplifying the configuration of SD-WAN. SD-WAN has a lot of room to grow."
"The Cisco way of thinking is to create umbrella-like solutions. I would prefer it if this solution was separate from the entire monstrous Cisco portfolio."
"I would like to see features related to security compliance, including a view of compliance with standards. With this, I should be able to do an audit of my network with SDWAN."
"The reports need to be improved. We need to have them customized but they don't have that right now. I would like for them to have better system predictions. We don't have that right now. My system may be working fine right now but after making some changes, that can change."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"Citrix SD-WAN does not have the SD-WAN with one optimization in a single license. Other competitors have this option and it should be added to this solution."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
