User Testimonials
	Aryaka SmartConnect	Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN
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	Palo Alto Networks CloudGenix would be suited for any company that has an internet connection if you have multiple sites you could use this to help with network traffic and what should take precedence over other applications. If you didn't have various sites, you could go with another type of internet connection.CloudGenix may not be suited for that scenario. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Aryaka Networks Relatively easily to implement Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Palo Alto Networks Circuit Monitoring QOS of network traffic High Availability Incentivized Dave King Director of IT 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	Palo Alto Networks Some warning messages are hard to pinpoint the actual issue. Support was faster at first, seems to not be as quick as in the beginning. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Aryaka Networks No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks The support was super fast in the beginning. Sometimes it seems now that the support does not get back to you as quickly. When we do get in contact with the support, they are usually knowledgeable and can help find the problem. The support has also been easy to work with.

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	Palo Alto Networks We evaluated Silverpeaks and Cisco. We found that CloudGenics' had a pricing model that met our needs. The sales team we worked with went over our existing environment thoroughly to provide the right size solution without compromising or limiting our technology needs. While the overall solutions form each vendor would have worked, we simply believed CloudGenic was the right fit for our company based on price, sales, support, and functionality.

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	Palo Alto Networks Reduced Down time Improved throughput due to their intelligent data analytics Full utilization of all data circuits Incentivized Dave King Director of IT Read full review
