Riverbed SteelConnect Gateway (SD-WAN)

I activated the trial version of this product to try it out but was never able to get logged into it. There's a link on the splash page to a login that doesn't go anywhere. I contacted Riverbed support and was told "Our Steelconnect-CX product has reached End-Of-Availability last August 1, 2020. Having said this, we have already stopped customer evaluation of the product therefore your issue. Though we appreciate your interest on the product but we are no longer providing customer evaluation. Appreciate the understanding."

Don't waste your time, this product literally doesn't work and the company appears to have no intention of making it work.

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.

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?!

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.
