We performed a comparison between Cisco SD-WAN and Cradlepoint NetCloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable features, application awareness, and failover resilience, stand out as key considerations for users."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of central management."
"It's a scalable solution."
"When considering the most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN, the decoupling of self-monitoring stands out significantly."
"The regular net routing is a good feature."
"Any technical support we needed was great."
"The reliability is high and we have only had to restart it once or twice over the years."
"It is easy to set up and requires a single administrator to maintain it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automatic failover."
"Cradlepoint NetCloud is very stable."
"Cisco SD-WAN is not as easy to deploy as the Meraki and FortiGate solutions. The zero-touch deployment could be a lot better. The deployment and initial setup are complicated and could be better."
"The licensing model needs to be improved."
"The cost is too high for certain countries, for example, those in Africa. The solution needs to be more cost-effective."
"When it comes to adding more security features, you need to add more RAM."
"The technical support is a bit slow."
"The initial setup is really complex."
"The solution is very costly."
"One of the major areas that Cisco can improve on with their SD-WAN offering is their security features. When compared with Fortinet, who have what they call their 'security pillars' (e.g. firewall and security features built-in to their SD-WAN solutions), Cisco generally comes up short. With Cisco, if you need a security component, you have to pay more to get it done. So if they could add more security features that come part and parcel with their existing solutions, then I think Cisco could be very aggressive in the market."
"In our situation, the initial setup was complex."
"It is missing important settings options."
"The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced."
