	Aryaka SmartConnect	Silver Peak WAN Optimization (discontinued)
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	Discontinued Products This is well suited when you need to deploy a virtual router to provide SD-WAN services across multiple sites. This works great for small businesses since they added firewall services. The price and feature set are also great for mid-sized enterprises due to the ability to manage multiple appliances with templates, central reporting, and ability to provide high availability of the appliances with VRRP.

Pros	Aryaka Networks Relatively easily to implement Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Discontinued Products WAN Acceleration. Improves application performance. Reduce bandwidth costs. Incentivized PB pablo baylac managing director latam 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	Discontinued Products Managing more and more routers can add complexity with templates. Documentation around internal routing protocol they use is confusing. Boost add-on was oversold by pre-sales team and not helpful during testing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Aryaka Networks No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products They need to improve their Spanish communication. Incentivized PB pablo baylac managing director latam 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	Discontinued Products We currently have almost all Cisco Meraki and would have loved to keep the product portfolio the same. Silver Peak was far cheaper and offered far more features. A lot of our evaluation showed that NGFW offers SD-WAN but it is not a full-featured deployment. Silver Peak is by and large better at being able to use both links at once, offer failover, QoS, and central reporting. 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	Discontinued Products Able to get rid of MPLS No more router hardware costs Able to use both WAN links instead of one being only failover Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
