Performance of ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Across Market Features

ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Likes & Dislikes

Like

Dynamic WAN Selection has greatly improved our ability to leverage all of our available bandwidth. It takes a different approach to QOS/traffic shaping vs traditional products and it works very well.

Like

The readiness of our performances brought by the Application Quality Score dashboard. The understanding of our applications flows. The selected path functionality ensuring to maximize the performances of our connectivity.

Like

Ease of use, clarity of reports.

Dislike

We are on a managed service platform and are limited in the number of reports we have. This is not a product limitation but a service provider limitation.

Dislike

We are using iPanema through BT Services. So we don't inherit of new functionalities straight after they are published. However this problem should be fixed by moving to the iPanema Cloud platform.

Dislike

Limitation in SDWan capabilities

    Ipanema probes are easy to use, deploy. They provide a high level of monitoring and application control/QOS. SDWan options are lights and not realy easy to deploy: only point to point access, separate configuration for Direct Internet with low features.
