What do you like best about the product?
I like the UI of Steelconnect better than any software like it. I also like how simply you can adjust network policy.
What do you dislike about the product?
This program is not as feature rich as what Cisco has to offer, but in my experience you can do almost the same things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Networking for such a complex, large, organization needs a simple solution that anyone can use.

Riverbed - WAN Optimization at its finest

What do you like best about the product?
Riverbed is easy to use and implement. Its fail over is amazing, which is a "pass through" mode if the appliance fails, basically acting just like an ether net cable. It does this even when off.
What do you dislike about the product?
Upgrading firmware versions through the webgui can be difficult. There are multiple errors when you try to download straight from the riverbed support site. I end up just downloading the ISO and uploading it to the riverbed manually. This does take longer, however.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use riverbed to connect remote sites around the world back to our HQ. One of the best benefits we've noticed is that it will keep outlook sessions active even when a user logs off. This means that all the emails that are sent to that recipient are loaded into the mailbox straight away instead of saturating a link as it gets the data from our exchange server from across the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While riverbed is good. There is a chance that they might fall behind with the times as technology advances with the use of private MPLS lines that you can use from other organisations which connect you to their LAN for faster connections around the world.

Unable to use product due to poor support

The product itself seems truly great... I was excited to test it and was fairly ready to purchase it. The installation process was smooth and the initial launch of the gateway was successful.
However, that is where the process hit a roadblock - my AWS launch/registration apparently didn't make it to Riverbed, and I could not login to their cloud-based service to maintain the newly launched gateway.
I contacted the company several times over the course of a week, all the while incurring AWS EC2 instance charges, and no one could figure out how to create a customer account for me and/or tie the gateway to that registration, nor provide me with an alternative solution.
I've since terminated and cancelled the subscription and am using a competing VPC peering product without issue.
I hope my case is isolated, and hope it prompts a review of their potentially faulty AWS marketplace integration.

1-click solution for SD-WAN

Using SteelConnect Gateway I can now readily access multiple VPCs spread across different AWS accounts and regions in a matter of minutes. For a small agile team this is incredibly useful. I can build my VPC using private subnets and connect our on-premise resources without needing to get our IT department involved (after the initial setup). Where was this three years ago when I needed it?!

One click SDN

OK, probably a few clicks, but seriously an extremely well engineered solution. Deployment across 4 global AWS regions took less than 10 minutes and suddenly 4 disparate VPCs are one. Choose the size appliance you need based upon your bandwidth expectations and that's it. On demand and no capital outlay or the hassle of maintaining hardware. Bring on the SDN.

Connected both my VPC’s together and to my physical office using full-mesh in a matter of minutes after making an IAM role. The level of automation is amazing, actually delivers on the promise. A+

10 VPC and auto connect everything in less than 10 minutes?? Are you kidding me? This product has far exceeded my expectations and is so easy to use.
