User Testimonials
	Aryaka SmartConnect	NitroAccelerator
Likelihood to Recommend	Aryaka Networks It integrates nicely with AWS (in regions other than China). The provisioning support is pretty good. Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Nitrosphere If you have an analytics-supporting SQL Server instance on a VM or bare metal, this is for you. Any large queries will get a massive speed-up. If you're using a DBaaS, then you would need to set up a proxy VM to see the benefits. If you have a transactional-only database, you won't likely see any benefits. Steven Hibble SVP Data Operations Read full review
Pros	Aryaka Networks Relatively easily to implement Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Nitrosphere No answers on this topic
Cons	Aryaka Networks Support is very inconsistent, no real trouble-ticketing system when you have issues Very expensive for what you get Not much advance notification for maintenance events Unclear if Aryaka connectivity into China meets Chinese M.I.I.T. laws Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Nitrosphere No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Aryaka Networks We didn't really evaluate many other SDWAN providers as very few operate inside of China. Our alternative was to build VPN connectivity ourselves. Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Nitrosphere No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Aryaka Networks Enabled us to deploy infrastructure into new regions quickly Cost of Aryaka connections (especially in China) is excessive Incentivized Jeff Stockamp Principal Architect Read full review	Nitrosphere No answers on this topic
