Network Admin at Naivas Ltd
Seamlessly combines Internet and MPLS
Citrix has made my work easier and more cost-effective. It lowered our Internet costs and gave me the flexibility to choose providers based on each location's connectivity. Unlike before, I'm not tied to a specific provider. The central deployment feature allows easy configuration updates for all boxes from the head office, streamlining network management. This simplification has been a big plus for our operations.

Beneficial technology, reliable, and simple deployment
Our client has a data center and all the applications servers and servers are in their data center. We design a solution, for all their branches. If they wanted to access the internet or the applications, they route traffic to their data center and then can access these applications with FatPipe…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 solution's most valuable feature is load balancing."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"The zero-touch deployment is most valuable for us."
"Downtime for branch offices is now almost zero."
"The best feature is the backup capability, where all of the users' computers are tied into a central data repository."
"The other banks, bank branches, require good connectivity, which is very important for a branch to have, and they managed to have an SLA of almost 100%."
"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 most valuable feature of FatPipe SD-WAN is it's based on SD-WAN technology."
"My advice to others is if you are looking for an SD-WAN solution then FatPipe SD-WAN is a good choice."
 

Cons

"The communication around the life cycle would have been really helpful. The main issue we have had is related to the life cycle because some of the things that we are using were discontinued. They were discontinued within a year after we had purchased it, which is a bit painful. If we had known that, we would've made some other decisions."
"Enhancements are needed to improve the stability."
"The solution's licensing model could be improved."
"The firewall reporting could be easier to use and filter."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"I would like to see support for additional reporting."
"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."
"Overall, network security and next-generation firewall features are areas that they can improve on."
"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license was a one-time purchase. It's expensive."
"The price of the subscription should be cheaper."
"It would be helpful to have a demo license available for customers who want to prove the concept and conduct a proof of concept (POC) before committing to the solution. This is particularly important for customers in Egypt who often require a demonstration of the solution's features and compatibility with their needs before making any investment or incurring costs. Providing a demo license would allow customers to assess whether the solution would meet their needs or not."
"It depends on the scale. In our case, it would have been better if we had known about the life cycling steps, but otherwise, it is worth the money."
"It is a bit expensive. A cheaper product would be good, but everybody likes things to be cheaper. We bought the devices up front, and then we pay for the annual support."
"I believe that Citrix SD-WAN is a good investment, but I do not have the information to be more specific."
"I'm not quite sure of the price ranges. Roughly, the hidden devices can scale up to $20K for one appliance. However, the branch CPs are USD $1,000 to $2,500."
"As NetScaler is now, I find it quite pricey."
