Citrix SD-WAN (discontinued) vs. Juniper Enterprise Routers

Any organization with a robust IT support network and with 100+ users, all the way up to international conglomerates with millions of workers. The only situation I can see where it might be harder is if you have a very small business with limited technical know-how. Otherwise, it's honestly the no-brainer choice.

As an edge/WAN router that contains internet BGP routes, it handles this work very well. And the devices are robust, able to manage a significant load. However, the interface cost can be somewhat of a hindrance when wanting to use it to interconnect many metro clients.

• Excellent integration with the Citrix Cloud Connector makes it a breeze to use.
• Access control is locked down with biometric security and easy password creation.
• License usage is always 100% secure.

Incentivized

• Version tracking/rollback
• Logical configuration layout
• Verbose status/logs for troubleshooting purposes
• Flexible configuration styles (carrier vs enterprise)

Incentivized

• Sometimes the interface is a bit slow to load. That's honestly about it!

• I would like to able to find more examples of configs. Given the multiple ways to configure the same setting, having a little more documentation would be helpful.
• I wish the FPCs and interfaces were cheaper.

Juniper support is friendly, easy to understand, widely knowledgeable, and easy to get ahold of. I did not give them a higher rating as some of my more complex issues, were solved by myself while under consultation from Juniper TAC.

After a lengthy vendor selection process we determined that CloudBridge was the best solution—although as always with demos it was difficult to tell if we'd really made the right decision. Since selecting CloudBridge—hough I have had lots of input from colleagues who use other systems—I feel very happy with our choice. The feature set alone is just far superior.

The simplicity, elegance, and robustness of Juniper's solution make it much easier to troubleshoot and configure, when compared to Cisco Routers, especially considering Cisco's implementation of BGP (why are IPv4 and IPv6 linked in Cisco configuration?). Furthermore, the implementation of commit and rollback cannot be understated when compared to the Cisco solutions. This feature is a huge time saver when attempting to troubleshoot and remote configuration instances.

• Tremendous savings from high uptime percent.
• Keeping our remote users engaged and stable at work means we can hire anywhere on earth.
• Access control keeps our IT team from constantly being tied up with password resets.

Incentivized

• The stability and robustness of this solution provide a rock-solid foundation for all of our internet traffic.
• The easy to use rollback and commit features simplifies remote administration and configuration, alleviating the need to travel to remote installation sites.
