Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"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."
"The scalability and stability are quite good in general."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"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)."
"The VPN and the load balancing are the most valuable features."
"It allows us to use additional VPNs, offering more options compared to other VPN solutions."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."

"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."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"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."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"The solution's current customer support is not that good. So, they need to improve that. Also, the solution's UI is quite complex, so they need to simplify it."
"The web interface can be improved."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The interface could be simpler."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
