User Testimonials
	Aryaka SmartConnect	Bigleaf
Likelihood to Recommend	Aryaka Networks It integrates nicely with AWS (in regions other than China). The provisioning support is pretty good. Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Bigleaf Networks Bigleaf is great for getting good performance out of two mediocre ISPs. Bigleaf is great for getting the combined bandwidth of two or more ISPs without having to subscribe to higher tiers with the ISP. I can't imagine Bigleaf would do much good for a business with only one ISP. Reporting with Bigleaf is helpful in documenting any issues with an ISP - I can show an ISP performance history if we experience a problem. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Aryaka Networks Relatively easily to implement Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Bigleaf Networks Does not add a security layer - We have our own security layer and did not want an additional one. Combines bandwidth from multiple ISPs to provide a bigger pipe. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Aryaka Networks Support is very inconsistent, no real trouble-ticketing system when you have issues Very expensive for what you get Not much advance notification for maintenance events Unclear if Aryaka connectivity into China meets Chinese M.I.I.T. laws Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Bigleaf Networks I can't think of anything to add here. It perfectly meets our needs! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Aryaka Networks No answers on this topic	Bigleaf Networks Any time we've had a problem, Bigleaf support has been readily available in English. Support seems competent, and when one hardware device failed we were quickly provided with a replacement Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Aryaka Networks We didn't really evaluate many other SDWAN providers as very few operate inside of China. Our alternative was to build VPN connectivity ourselves. Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Bigleaf Networks Bigleaf doesn't add a security layer. Competitors we looked at all bundled in security from Cisco or Fortinet, and we didn't want to learn another product and have a competing security layer. With Bigleaf we are able to leverage our existing security solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Aryaka Networks Enabled us to deploy infrastructure into new regions quickly Cost of Aryaka connections (especially in China) is excessive Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Bigleaf Networks Bigleaf has dramatically improved our internet uptime and provides metrics to track that. Bigleaf protects our internet performance by balancing ISPs so we don't experience poor performance when one ISP has a problem. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
