The product is still in the implementation phase. The coordination is not good. It does not provide formal circuit test result even we, the customer, have asked. They do not have engineer capability in Japan.

Aryaka SmartCONNECT Likes & Dislikes

Like

transparency, speed, simpleness

Like

Easy to set up,

Like

Overall I like the flexibility of Aryaka in that they were always willing to do what ever we wanted and were always available anytime of the day or night. In addition, for the most part the SD-WAN services just worked as advertised.

Dislike

the time it took to set up, onsite training would be better

Dislike

Coordination, Communication, Professionalism

Dislike

We used Aryaka for ISP procurement worldwide which was NEW to them at the time, and with some locations experienced long installation timelines due to issues, and their pricing wasn't necessarily competitive in certain global locations. In addition, I would have the customer service team work with the customer post implementation to train us on the Aryaka portal/dashboard - learn how to read and understand it. Furthermore, Aryaka should post implementation do a health check of all the sites for the customer to ensure they are optimized from a backbone bandwidth perspective.
