Aryaka SmartConnect vs. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

It integrates nicely with AWS (in regions other than China). The provisioning support is pretty good.

In the past Firewall and Traffic Routing tasks would have to be done on different interfaces, however, with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN all this is unified into one central console. We can get more productivity and also can optimize LAN & WAN IT Operations. We are also able to cut a lot of cost by moving from old MPLS technology to BB

Incentivized

• Relatively easily to implement

Incentivized

• Consolidated User Interface for Firewall, Routing and ZTNA
• Optimization of WAN applications and traffic

Incentivized

• 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

As mentioned earlier, since all features are pretty much available in one console, it is very user friendly and it becomes very easy for the Admin to just drag and drop a Plugin or a Tool that is required to perform a specific task. It's one of the most well designed layout to be honest.

Incentivized

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

• Enabled us to deploy infrastructure into new regions quickly
• Cost of Aryaka connections (especially in China) is excessive

Incentivized

• 18% improvement in Productivity
• 25% reduction in cost
• Almost zero down time.
