Performance of SteelHead Across Market Features
SteelHead Likes & Dislikes
Ease of deployment. Little interference in case it is not properly configured.
I like that it was easy to implement inline and not wccp. It's just a bump in the wire but when it's in , it's hard to configure the cifs protocol but other protocols are easy to turn on .
We can categories the services product which we can optimize
Very expensive. Newer protocols are harder to accelerate and require more effort to properly tune them.
The integration of the esx is not as intuitive . The all in the box is difficult to configure and not worth the effort . With the wan optimiation by itself it easy to setup and manage but it doesn't optimize all of the protocols. Has problems with some of them. CIFs difficult to configure.
As of now we did not see any dislikes

Efficient WAN Optimization
Infrastructure performance enhancer, Riverbed is one of the best WAN optimizer in the market. In my tenure we have utilized this product at fullest when ever we faced traffic chocking issues in MPLS zones. This product is very useful where huge data flow happens and it maximizes the efficiency and performance of the network. Latency is always a concern in big organizations, this product is best suited to mitigate such issues.
