Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."Cisco SD-WAN has separate OMP routing."
"The most useful feature is centralized telephony."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco SD-WAN is its compatibility and integration with the rest of the infrastructure."
"You get security, all of the service you need, and it's easy to deploy."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a stable solution."
"The solution is great at aggregating the traffic and then sending it in one direction."
"The most useful feature for our organization is the combination of on-prem and cloud-based deployments. We connect securely to our hybrid cloud using transit VPCs and cloud on-ramp for fast deployments."
"Troubleshooting is swift, allowing for fast turnaround times whenever we encounter an issue."
"It is a stable solution."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"It is quite easy to implement."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"We have found that their SD-WAN has a lot of scope for improvement."
"When it comes to adding more security features, you need to add more RAM."
"The bandwidth limitations would be good to remove, but it is a policy and license situation for Cisco because the cost is very high. It would be good to have OTP implemented with VRF. It can have support for EIGRP Over the Top (OTP) VRF. I saw some limitations in regards to the VRF protocol and the advertisement between VRF configuration. EIGRP Over the Top basically was quite limited with the VRF configuration. If you wanted to do rollback in VRF by using the EIGRP OTP protocol, the formation was not populated across. Cisco got back and confirmed that it is a configuration that I need to wait for until the next release, which is going to happen in one year. Cisco documentation is not the way it used to be before. It just gives an easy way to configure, but it doesn't go into the details of the configuration. The information that you need is there, but sometimes you want to go further and get more information, but the information is quite limited. It would be good to cover a few business cases or configuration cases. They used to be there in the past."
"The client portal needs to be improved in order to make the solution much better."
"The solution is expensive and could be cheaper."
"The deployment is complex."
"I would like to see a better, web-based interface to make changes to the configuration or to view statistics."
"I would like them to add some more SD-WAN ports. We have seen one implementation where there were four ISPs. Currently, we have a maximum of two ports for ISP in this device. Therefore, we cannot connect directly, and we need other switches. There should be some option to have more than two ports for SD-WAN."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"Improve the API speed."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"They should make it accessible for more operating systems."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
