Aviatrix vs. Lumina SDN Controller

Definitely use aAviatrix Cloud Network Platform if you are on multiple clouds like AWS, GCP or Azure. Or if you have multiple environments in one of them. Also if you have on-prem infrastructure that you need connected via VPN tunnel to the cloud. As far as I know, Aviatrix Cloud Network Platform is the only one using multiprocessing for those to reach high speeds.

• With a few very easy steps to establish routing between AWS VPC
• Easy procedures to establish site to site VPN connection with external parties.
• Provide network access control on routing traffic using its own build-in firewall inspection or directing traffic to 3rd party NGFW for full stack inspection.

Incentivized

• It lacks of ways to admin-down an established site to site VPN connections is one of the short coming.
• In network traffic inspection, it lacks options to customize the IPS function is another short coming.
• While the product allows lots of email alerting options, it lacks ways to customize the alerting email messages and ways to suppress alert flooding.

The core function of the product works very well. It really makes network traffic management easy in public clound, as well as crossing different public and private cloud platform.

Very responsive and very strong technical skill even on the first teir support.

We initially tried using the native routing funcitons in AWS (transit gateway) and in Azure (virtual network). While those native options worked, it became difficult to opeate when we tried to impose security inspection on the routing traffic. This leads us to the Aviatrix solution.

Incentivized

• Reduce labor hours for network admin to manage public clound network routing policy.
• Build-in security features may be good enough for small/medium size companies, and thus saving money from full funciton NGFW solution.
• The Cost-IQ feature enable one to capture traffic volume of each VPC. This provides one way for the enterprise to perform cost charge back to various business funcitons at the VPC level.
