    Aviatrix operates like a slightly different version of XC. Mostly it relies on routing, where cloud connect takes a whole stack into consideration. Not sure if XC can fully replace Aviatrix, but after a couple of implementations, it may become apparent. There are similar …

    This product offers simple ways to manage network routing between public cloud, on-prem, and external network. It has built-in options to secure network traffic, as well as option to direct traffic to 3rd party security products for a more advanced traffic inspection. The core function works and is easy to operate. On the other hand, I am unable to give it more than 7-star because some useful features are lacking. This includes lack of customization in email alerting, IPS policy management, and temproarily admin-down of an established site to site VPN connection.

    I would recommend this if you have many cross-platform services across multiple cloud providers and don't want to manage and update them manually. For a simple setup, use a site-to-site VPN, but if you have multiple apps, this will reduce complexity. Moreover, they have their own fiber network worldwide to avoid latency.

    Pros
    Aviatrix
    • With a few very easy steps to establish routing between AWS VPC
    • Easy procedures to establish site to site VPN connection with external parties.
    • Provide network access control on routing traffic using its own build-in firewall inspection or directing traffic to 3rd party NGFW for full stack inspection.

    • No manual VPN configuration, static routes, or BGP routing table is needed. You only need to install their Customer Edge tool.
    • If there is some security incident in one account, second account remains protected.
    • Environment level segregation like Production, Stagging, development.
    • Set up a secure, encrypted tunnel across multiple cloud platforms for communication between them.

    Cons
    Aviatrix
    • It lacks of ways to admin-down an established site to site VPN connections is one of the short coming.
    • In network traffic inspection, it lacks options to customize the IPS function is another short coming.
    • While the product allows lots of email alerting options, it lacks ways to customize the alerting email messages and ways to suppress alert flooding.

    • The support model needs a quite a bit of work. I personally have experienced an outage on the platform. due to mis-configureation Although the outage was due to engineer error it took over 2 hours before we were able to speak to an engineer
    • Proxy v2 protocol to allow our organization to capture and view the source IP address

    We initially tried using the native routing funcitons in AWS (transit gateway) and in Azure (virtual network). While those native options worked, it became difficult to opeate when we tried to impose security inspection on the routing traffic. This leads us to the Aviatrix solution.

    Aviatrix operates like a slightly different version of XC. Mostly it relies on routing, where cloud connect takes a whole stack into consideration. Not sure if XC can fully replace Aviatrix, but after a couple of implementations, it may become apparent. There are similar routing features in both. XC has more overall features.

    Return on Investment
    Aviatrix
    • Reduce labor hours for network admin to manage public clound network routing policy.
    • Build-in security features may be good enough for small/medium size companies, and thus saving money from full funciton NGFW solution.
    • The Cost-IQ feature enable one to capture traffic volume of each VPC. This provides one way for the enterprise to perform cost charge back to various business funcitons at the VPC level.
