Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions."Cisco is an industry leader, so customers have a high level of trust with the brand more-so than with some newcomers that might have some more revolutionary solutions, but no name recognition."
"The most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN are reliability and scalability."
"Load balancing is a feature that allows us to take the best of our links and distribute the load intelligently, always with an eye on the end-customer experience."
"It is very simple and easy to manage, compared to other methods."
"Any technical support we needed was great."
"Initial setup is easy."
"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."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"This solution gives us insight into our environment and improves our security. It helps us to maintain a good patching system whereby we know that XYZ is vulnerable within the system."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"They also have threat detection which maps threats. There is a feed that comes from Qualys when a new vulnerability is found. It tells us which machines are infected with that vulnerability."
"It is a stable solution."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"I would like to see a better, web-based interface to make changes to the configuration or to view statistics."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward, but it gets easier the more deployments you complete."
"The product should improve its prices."
"We recently found some bugs."
"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 whole solution needs to be re-imagined. It's quite complex right now and really needs to be simplified to make it easier for those of us using it. It should offer more simplified management as well."
"The product needs to have more understanding staff in their support team. The tool needs to provide support in every stage of deployment. We did not get the expected support from their team. The product is also not easy to use."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement."
"They should make it accessible for more operating systems."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"Finding things in management can be quite difficult."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"Improve the API speed."
