We performed a comparison between Citrix SD-WAN and Prisma SD-WAN 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 feature is its reliability."
"It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity."
"The scalability and stability are quite good in general."
"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 best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"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 reliability of connectivity is most valuable."
"It is flexible to use the internet connection via local breakouts without going to data centers."
"If the MPLS goes down, there is a really smooth transition for a branch site to take traffic over the Internet. It will advertise the routes of that site in a jiffy."
"Prisma SD-WAN is intuitive. We have a better idea of the different tools we can use and jump between the menus quickly."
"The security offered by the solution is pretty good."
"Prisma supports all of the applications we're currently using."
"When it comes to supporting large, complex, network architectures, it's a very simple architecture. The main component is the fabric. It's very easy to troubleshoot if there is an issue happening in the underlying network."
"From the main controller, we can administer the customer's devices, QoS, network, and traffic. We can monitor it and we can change and create policies as well as upgrade the software. We can totally control a customer's network from one site, the Prisma SD-WAN portal."
"The gateway is available on the cloud which allows you access from anywhere and still connects to your home gateway."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"I am happy with this product. If anything, its price can be reduced. It is a bit expensive."
"The price could be improved, it's an expensive solution."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"Citrix should continue to offer a perpetual licensing model because it is very important to us."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"Customer support is our biggest pain point. The quality of support has gone down a little since we initially deployed this product. I don't know if this is due to turnover at Palo Alto or a lack of training. It is now taking one or two days to get an initial response that says, "Hey, we've looked into this, can you pull this data for us?" In the past, we'd immediately get a response."
"I'd like to see them move more towards CASB."
"The only con is the pricing because it's more premium."
"Prisma SD-WAN's technical support should be improved."
"Prisma SD-WAN should provide more flexibility and scalability on the hardware."
"Prisma could be a little cheaper."
"There are two parallel things that we want Palo Alto to work on. First, customers want a unified appliance that does the work of all firewalls in addition to SD-WAN. Second, the cloud presence should be completely automated. If I purchase the SASE architecture, I shouldn't worry about deployments in Prisma Access or on Prisma SD-WAN. It should be deployed in one go."
"Event correlation and analysis capabilities do not help minimize the number of alarms from a single event. That is the problem. We are getting a lot of incidents, and there is some issue with the correlation. That is still a drawback."
