A scalable solution for MCN controller but lacks technical supports, upgrades
There are a few things that can be improved, are domain-based routing and the slowness of virtual parts, and it may be due to the wrong configuration, which we have been unable to find out. Previously, we faced some issues with the slowness part. Apart from that, feature like end gateway level antivirus. We are currently using a NetFlow proxy to establish a virtual position for the NetFlow. Our current environment has many use cases, but we are not using them on the Citrix SD-WAN. When I navigate the NCL part, it involves configuration. I want to highlight this disadvantage. Sometimes, when we push the configuration, it tries to push it to all branch locations. This process takes a lot of time, nearly 30 minutes, to push a single change from the NCL. Overall, I don't think Citrix meets our use cases what we have. This is based on my feedback after using it for the past year and working on this Citrix SD-WAN. However, from my experience, it is the worst solution I have seen. There's no domain-based routing, which is horrible. That's why we are moving to other products. We have checked our use case requirements with Fortinet, Palo Alto, and they meet them. I will consider the PoC or another OEM. There are many things in the area you need to be prompt, like the automation part. If any link or device goes down, alerting notification, etc. We need to perform and highlight so many things to your management. This should be improved.

Great multi-tenancy and routing functionalities but needs more security capabilities
We primarily use the solution for connectivity to the majority of our customers, for national and international deployments.  Their multi-tenancy and routing functionalities are both great. It is stable and reliable. The solution can scale. Technical support has been fine. Security needs to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Citrix SD-WAN helps us in re-routing certain traffic, for example, local internet breakouts for Office 365, and it also helps us to be more agile when we are opening new offices or when we are moving locations."
"We migrated an online gambling company in South Africa off MPLS onto our SD-WAN solution, and they're saving millions every month purely on MPLS spend."
"If you only take into consideration its features and capability, it is definitely one of the better products available in the market to date."
"It allows you to combine two asymmetrical connections."
"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%."
"They have a zero downtime failover mechanism, where, when there's a link failure or a link weakness, or bad link conditions, they provide the ability to fail back seamlessly."
"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 SD-WAN solution as it is already is quite feature-rich and the upgrade process is very simple."
"Version 6.0 now is expected by mid of this year which reflects a maturity I've never experienced with any other network virtualization system."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is network management. The customer is able to manage their network from home or we can also manage the whole customer network."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It has good reporting and analytics, that most people can understand without too much difficulty."
"Nuage Networks provides a professional solution experience; they are a large corporation developing new features all the time that are very useful."
"One of the many benefits of Nuage Networks is VoIP, as it will maintain a call session even if you lose an uplink."
 

Cons

"The firewall reporting could be easier to use and filter."
"I would like to see more customization to adjust for the WAN lock-out due to our unexpected power outages."
"I think the price can be improved, particularly in third world countries such as Ecuador where companies don't have the budget to implement expensive products."
"The level of support from Citrix is not that great."
"Citrix SD-WAN's knowledge base has a few missing things, so you may need to seek help from support."
"The only improvement for Citrix SD-WAN would be to lower its cost."
"The price is the only thing that could be improved. Citrix is not a cheap solution."
"The solution's licensing model could be improved."
"Educational materials should be available for such a mature system!"
"Security is an area that could use some work."
"The price of the solution could be more affordable."
"The setup can be complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the subscription should be cheaper."
"As NetScaler is now, I find it quite pricey."
"The license was a one-time purchase. It's expensive."
"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."
"It's a little bit on the high side compared to the other products."
"The price is relatively expensive."
"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."
"I would say, from our cost perspective, they are extremely competitive."
"The price of the solution could be more affordable. Customers want to use their own cheap connection and also do not want to pay too much for services from this solution, it becomes too expensive."
