Aviatrix Reviews

My main use case for Aviatrix is for managing our multi-cloud environment. We have our environment on Azure cloud, AWS, or GCP. We are in a hybrid or multi-cloud environment. To have centralized console or control to manage all of those cloud environments through a single console, we are using Aviatrix to manage it. It becomes very easier to manage from the centralized console from an administration point of view.

Apart from the centralized management console, Aviatrix gives the additional advantage or simplifies the way we manage the cloud environments. When it comes to troubleshooting or more networking-related issues, the native cloud solution has limited options available within the cloud environment. Aviatrix provides those additional benefits to manage effectively when managing troubleshooting or issues.

Aviatrix is making our day-to-day job easier and also saving a lot of time because it gives options for cloud-to-cloud peering, as well as a transit hub and spoke architecture. It simplifies how we manage the multi-cloud environment through the single console, and the connectivity options become very easier.

Aviatrix supports the automation platform. It supports Infrastructure as Code (IAC), which makes deployment faster with automation. This reduces operational overhead.

Aviatrix has positively impacted my organization by making management and administration easier, allowing us to manage all the cloud infrastructure from a single console. There is less overhead on operations due to automation support, and cloud network segmentation has become more advanced.

I have seen some cosmetic bugs with Aviatrix, particularly with the console. Although the Aviatrix team releases versions to address these concerns, I have personally observed that the console can be slower to respond at times.

One area I would like to highlight for needed improvements is the documentation. The technical documents available on the platform are not very in-depth. If Aviatrix provides more detailed documentation on the technical infrastructure, it would be more helpful for customers to evaluate, learn, and gain knowledge about the platform.

I have been using Aviatrix for around four years now.

Aviatrix is stable.

Aviatrix is highly scalable. As your cloud environments increase, and you add additional cloud environments, such as from AWS to Azure or OCI, it scales effectively. It is scalable across different cloud environments and within a single cloud environment.

The customer support for Aviatrix is pretty good. They are responsive, and their core technical team sometimes participates on calls when we need support.

Negative

I did not use a different solution previously; it was a natively managed cloud environment. Therefore, we did not consider any other solution apart from Aviatrix.

I have seen a return on investment primarily through the time saved for our engineers, allowing them to focus on other productive tasks. Additionally, management has become significantly easier through Aviatrix controller.

I find that the pricing, setup costs, and licensing for Aviatrix are on the higher side.

One important point is that if you are already using Aviatrix and wish to revert to your native cloud management solution, it is not easy to roll back to the previous setup. This is something to take into consideration.

The advice I would give to others considering using Aviatrix is that its high licensing cost makes it more suitable for large or medium-scale environments. When you have a multi-cloud environment, it becomes easier to justify the platform's cost. However, for very small environments or those using only one cloud platform, it may not justify the expense. Nevertheless, if your organization can afford it, you should go for it because it is a very stable, centralized solution that simplifies managing cloud operations. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

My main use case for Aviatrix is primarily in cloud networking and secure multi-cloud architecture projects.

In one project, I used Aviatrix to set up secure connectivity between AWS and Azure environments using its transit gateway architecture and centralized firewall policies. This helped us simplify routing, enforce security, and get better visibility across our multi-cloud setup.

In addition to connectivity, Aviatrix also gave us centralized visibility and control, which made troubleshooting, monitoring, and enforcing consistent security policies across clouds much easier.

Aviatrix has positively impacted our organization by helping us simplify multi-cloud operations, improve security posture, and reduce troubleshooting time.

With Aviatrix, we saw around a 30 to 40% reduction in troubleshooting time due to better visibility, and deployment time improved by nearly 50% with automation.

The best features of Aviatrix are centralized multi-cloud control and the built-in security, zero trust, firewalling, and deep network visibility.

The deep network visibility feature gave us end-to-end traffic insights across clouds, including flow-level data and real-time monitoring, helping us quickly identify bottlenecks, detect misconfigurations, and troubleshoot issues much faster.

Another standout is how Aviatrix combines networking and security in a single platform.

Aviatrix can improve by simplifying its UI or UX for new users, enhancing documentation for complex setups, and reducing the learning curve so that juniors can understand it better.

One additional area is better cost optimization insights and reporting. While Aviatrix is powerful, more built-in recommendations for cost efficiency and resource usage would help teams manage budgets more effectively.

I have been using Aviatrix for approximately 1.5 years.

Aviatrix is highly stable and reliable in production environments.

Aviatrix is highly scalable. It supports multi-region and multi-cloud expansion with ease using its transit gateway architecture and hub-and-spoke design.

The customer support of Aviatrix has been strong and responsive.

We previously relied on native cloud networking tools such as AWS VPC and Microsoft Azure Networking. We switched to Aviatrix for better multi-cloud consistency, centralized control, and enhanced security features, which were harder to achieve with native tools alone.

We onboarded Aviatrix through the AWS Marketplace, which made procurement and deployment much faster.

Using Aviatrix, we saw a clear ROI through approximately a 30 to 40% reduction in network management effort, which meant fewer resources were needed for operations, along with faster deployments of around 50% improvement, and reduced downtime, translating into cost savings and better productivity.

With Aviatrix, pricing is on the higher side but justified by the features and performance. Setup costs were moderate, especially when deployed via AWS Marketplace, and licensing is flexible but can feel complex initially, requiring some time to fully understand.

Before choosing Aviatrix, we evaluated native solutions from AWS and Microsoft Azure, along with third-party options such as Cisco and VMware networking solutions.

I would recommend clearly understanding your multi-cloud architecture upfront and investing time in learning the core concepts of Aviatrix. Start with a small deployment or POC and leverage the documentation and support to reduce the learning curve and maximize value quickly. I gave this review a rating of 8.

My main use case for Aviatrix was for studying the S during that month.

The best features Aviatrix offers, in my opinion, include the affordability of their multi-cloud offering.

The affordability and multi-cloud offering stand out to me compared to other platforms because it makes it easier for companies to actually enter the cloud space since it is affordable compared to other offerings from AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure.

Aviatrix has impacted my organization and personal learning experience positively by bringing about the sense that as companies are scaling to the cloud, one of the major contributing factors is cost. As people are reviewing the cost, it is actually one of Aviatrix's main advantages that companies can customize how they spend on their cloud infrastructure.

I think Aviatrix can be improved in terms of marketing and ensuring that many people know about it, as I believe it still leaves much to be desired. I only came to know about it when I was offered the chance to study it. Given what they are offering and how competitive they are, they need to improve their marketing, especially to companies and corporate clients, so that they can be more competitive in the market. I think their marketing is still below standard, and many people do not really know about it. They need to improve their marketing and advertising to win a percentage in the cloud space.

In addition to marketing, another needed improvement for Aviatrix is that I think they are more well-versed in the European market. I am not certain about the African side, but I think they could also capture a portion of that market. I believe they could improve in that respect.

In terms of offering, I think Aviatrix could possibly open up more structured learning. This would also serve as a form of marketing for them by offering more courses about Aviatrix, which would get more people interested in their services and offerings and generate more industry discussion about them.

I have been using Aviatrix for a month.

Based on my studies and hands-on labs, Aviatrix is quite stable. In the multi-cloud environment, I think it is still leading. It is very stable.

From what I experienced and learned, I think Aviatrix's scalability is quite good. Out of ten, I would rate them at seven in terms of scalability.

I did not get to experience the customer support side of it since I am not using it from a corporate client perspective, but rather just for studies.

I did not use a previous solution before Aviatrix. This was for study purposes.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing during my studies was that the setup was much easier compared to other cloud platforms. I am still intrigued by the cost, as it can actually be customizable by the company or per client. The cost and setup are quite good.

I think Aviatrix is going to grow in the next few years, and we will see it dominating the market. I would say investing in Aviatrix would actually be a good return on investment in the coming few years.

I remember covering it in one of my modules, that Aviatrix actually saves so much on cost, especially in terms of the human personnel needed to actually utilize Aviatrix. I think there is cost saving there, which is one good aspect of Aviatrix.

Aviatrix was my first solution before choosing it, and I did not evaluate other options.

Aviatrix was deployed in my lab environment for study purposes, and I covered all the hybrid, private, and cloud aspects.

I accessed Aviatrix through Aviatrix Academy during my studies, and that is how I completed everything.

Aviatrix is going to dominate in the coming years in the multi-cloud space, and I really appreciate that I was able to participate in their academy. I would say they are actually a good platform that is going to grow if they can improve their marketing, visibility, and branding. I believe they can easily dominate the market ahead of AWS and Google. I give this review a rating of ten.

My main use case for Aviatrix is for port forwarding. Whenever I have to make a project on my own local machine and also test that it would work in production, then I use Aviatrix for forwarding the port of my local machine. Then I integrate that with my company's product, and then I see if it's hitting the Aviatrix requests.

Day-to-day, whenever I open the terminal, first I'll start with the HTTP port number, which helps me connect that with my local Visual Studio editor code so that whatever goes through that port will be transported to the Aviatrix terminal. Then I connect this Aviatrix URL address with my company's product, and then I test it. Whenever I run the code, an ideal request should hit the Aviatrix server.

The scope of Aviatrix use is that everyone uses it in my company, and I also use it solo.

I think the best features of Aviatrix include port forwarding, which would be the most highly used feature. I have used that, and all my fellow seniors and teammates have used that only. The free tier which we are using is free. It's very easily integrable, and there's no setup guide needed for using that.

Aviatrix has actually impacted my organization significantly; it is actually pretty important to use Aviatrix daily. I think it has contributed significantly to our workflow. Without that, if we had used some other local code editor and then tested it manually every time, it would have taken a lot more time. I think it has improved the efficiency almost by fifty percent. Productivity obviously has increased so much.

A suggestion I would make for Aviatrix is to maybe make the terminal more user-friendly. I use Windows, so it's not a problem, but I don't know how it would work in a Linux or Ubuntu-based system. It works more efficiently in a Mac system versus a Windows, so I think they should improve on the Windows one. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions at this time; it's a good product.

When I first implemented Aviatrix, it took a bit of time as the first issue was that I was facing a problem due to the terminal not opening. That was an issue on my PC since I had not put the correct address for that. After that, I haven't faced any Aviatrix issues and it's pretty stable.

Adoption of Aviatrix has been widespread; I think everyone in our company who is working in the tech domain, especially the full-stack developers, are using it in the same manner for the port transfer. I don't think anyone is a super user. Everyone is using it in the same, casual manner.

Before I landed on Aviatrix, I was manually using my own Visual Studio code editor, which is a local code editor. I was a college student, so I hadn't pushed anything in production, so I didn't need port transfer.

My team did not need formal training on Aviatrix as it was very easy. We just had to download it and use it as we use our local Studio code editor.

There may be features that came up during implementation that I'm not actually using, but we didn't have any use case for other features. The only concern for us was the port forwarding; that's why we were using Aviatrix. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Aviatrix is the multi-cloud support function, which is why I am using transit for multi-cloud networking. Aviatrix can provide multi-cloud provider networking support that you can combine with your infrastructure.

For multi-cloud networking management, centralized cloud visibility and control, site-to-cloud, and enterprise connectivity, Aviatrix offers comprehensive solutions. I can use public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments with this platform.

Aviatrix has multi-cloud provider support, which is really useful. Aviatrix is a good platform with multi-networking capabilities that can support everything, and it looks good overall.

The centralized cloud networking visibility and control is why I wanted to advise this solution. Aviatrix can provide multi-cloud provider networking support that you can combine with your infrastructure.

For multi-cloud networking management, centralized cloud visibility and control, site-to-cloud, and enterprise connectivity, Aviatrix offers valuable features. I can use public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments, which is useful.

From my experience with the lab and training environment, one area where Aviatrix could improve is making the platform more beginner-friendly for users who are new to cloud networking.

I have been using Aviatrix for just a few months.

There is no solution for multi-cloud at this time.

I have not used previous solutions.

I save time with the multi-cloud functionality that Aviatrix provides.

The setup cost is a little bit expensive.

Azure could be an alternate solution.

It felt like a dual approach: on one hand, we were learning, and on the other hand, it helped organizations simplify and optimize their cloud networking, security, and operations.

One of the aspects I found most valuable is its ability to make changes and roll them back quickly. In an AWS context, you could connect a couple of virtual private clouds, even if they weren't originally meant to be linked. What I particularly appreciated was that it was cloud-agnostic, so it didn't matter if you were working with AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud; it seamlessly operated across different cloud providers. Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away. 

There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts. Training and support may be necessary to fully leverage its capabilities.

I have worked with it for approximately two years.

I found it to be a stable product.

Occasionally, I had to consult the Aviatrix online forums for guidance when things didn't go as planned. Its community was helpful during these troubleshooting moments.

I encountered some issues during the initial setup, largely because I didn't follow the step-by-step instructions diligently. I made changes directly within my AWS account, which led to some complications with the scripts provided for setting up and tearing down lab environments. This approach caused the script to break at various points, and I had to manually troubleshoot and debug the issues. Overall, it is generally straightforward, but it requires precise adherence to the provided steps.

It operates on a consumption-based model and the expenses depend on factors such as the number of virtual machines you use and the resources consumed. The basic license costs were reasonable.

Besides being a consumption based model, the license cost for the Aviatrix software is high, so it could be a significant financial challenge.

In the realm of multi-cloud networking, I would suggest conducting a search for "multi-cloud networking" to explore the landscape of available solutions. Instead of investing significant time in writing scripts and manually establishing these connections, Aviatrix offers a more streamlined approach to join these diverse cloud environments, so I would recommend it.

It provides cloud network management and security solutions that enable organizations to seamlessly integrate and manage their multi-cloud environments. This includes services like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It offers a unified platform for the efficient utilization of these cloud services across various use cases and purposes.

Its exceptional capability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud services makes it the preferred choice for multi-cloud deployments. Other similar services lack the same level of integration and ease of use.

There is room for improvement regarding enhancing its security features in response to modern cybersecurity challenges. This includes implementing advanced security measures like multi-factor authentication when connecting with various technologies and during login processes. Additionally, the user experience could be improved by offering more practical training courses, helping users understand the purpose and capabilities of Aviatrix, especially in scenarios like archiving systems. Offering temporary subscriptions to external users could boost adoption and usage. Clear communication of policies, terms, and conditions is also recommended to ensure users are well-informed about what can and cannot be done. These enhancements would provide a more user-friendly experience.

I have been working with it for over a year and a half.

Based on my understanding and knowledge, I would rate the stability features of the system at around six or seven out of ten.

The direct support from the Aviatrix team has been lacking. We haven't been able to get the necessary support and guidance from them. Ensuring practical training and support are areas that need improvement from the Aviatrix side. While other phases of deployment might be promising, the absence of adequate support has limited the understanding of the tool's potential benefits, especially compared to experiences with other cloud providers like AWS. I would rate it six out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup was very easy. It is primarily theoretical and there's a need to dive deeper into practical setup and usage. You believe that once individuals gain a deeper understanding through advanced certifications, it could lead to broader adoption of Aviatrix, potentially benefiting other organizations as well.

The deployment process depends on machine usage. My experience with the tool has been limited due to insufficient support and information from the Aviatrix team. Unlike other services I have used, the Aviatrix team hasn't reached out to provide guidance and answer queries. This lack of communication has led to hesitation in using the tool, due to potential risks.

During the initial phase, it operates as an open-source and it's a free tool. I do not have in-depth knowledge of it yet, but my initial impression is that it appears highly interesting and worth exploring further.

Our company primarily relies on Aviatrix for managing AWS, even though there are other tools available in the industry.

The communication channels related to access need improvement. Maintaining proper logging would enhance transparency and understanding for employees and others. There's a need to evaluate whether area mechanics can replace the database in UCB without affecting services, which requires a better understanding. These improvements encompass not only security but also communication channels, business growth, employee understanding, and knowledge sharing with others. I would rate it six out of ten since it needs a lot of improvement.

Cloud providers like AWS and Azure have some or other limitations, especially in the multi-cloud integration scenario. There are limitations on the network level when the communication between cloud A and cloud B happens which Aviatrix can solve.

This tool resolves the overlapping of CIDR’s IP addresses in a multi-cloud environment, which is its best feature. The product also gives packet-level details on the data that has been put from one cloud to another. Currently, no other solution in the market can give this kind of detail. There is also the high VPN connectivity which gives high throughput. Internet service providers have a limitation on large migrations like 10 Gigabytes or 2 to 2.3 GBPS. However, this tool gives you a functionality where you can bundle multiple tunnels into one tunnel. Thereafter, you can transfer the data from one environment to another or from on-prem to the cloud.

The tool has a very limited local presence in the GCC market. I am based in Dubai, UAE and it would be very difficult for me to reach out to US staff for technical discussion during the tool’s implementation. The tool needs to focus on the GCC market which includes UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. There is nobody to help you out in this region.

I have been using the solution for a year.

The tool is stable.

We have around 30-40 users for the solution.

The solution’s setup is very easy. The initial deployment was done by Aviatrix.

The tool is quite expensive.

I would rate the tool a seven out of ten. We have chosen this solution since it can integrate with multi-cloud providers like Oracle, AWS, and Azure. The tool is also easy to deploy. The integration of the tool in your environment will be purely based on your requirements and landscape. If it meets the criteria, then I would definitely recommend the tool. The tool has multiple capabilities which I have not seen in other solutions.

I am leveraging additional connectivity features, applying zero trust within the cloud network, simplifying cloud network management, and gaining more insights into what is happening within the environment.

It has enhanced the way I can deploy and manage VPCs and other connectivity services. It has provided valuable insights into latency, ports used, and top talkers, and it has offered effective troubleshooting tools.

The most valuable features are real-time topology, uniform Terraform modules across all public clouds, and troubleshooting tools such as Flightpath and packet capture.

One area that could use improvement is IPv6 support.

I have used the solution for one year.

There were no deployment issues.

I did not encounter any stability issues.

I did not face any scalability issues.

I have not interacted with customer service.

I did not use a previous solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The implementation was handled internally by our team.

The cost should be compared to the pricing of native services, which often include a data processing component.

I did not consider any alternate solutions.

I do not have any additional advice.

We use Aviatrix for automation and to get rid of manual jobs.

The most valuable feature of Aviatrix is that it saves us a lot of time.

Aviatrix should include more integrated security features like intrusion detection and lateral movement detection.

I have been using Aviatrix for more than ten years.

Aviatrix is a stable solution.

Aviatrix is a scalable solution. Most of our customers for Aviatrix are medium and enterprise businesses.

The solution's technical support is fine, and we don't have any problems with it.

Neutral

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

You can get Aviatrix up and running in a day or two.

Aviatrix is a pretty expensive solution. Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution and the support. You can't buy the product without support.

Aviatrix's maintenance includes a normal upgrade, which one person can do.

Overall, I rate Aviatrix a nine out of ten.
