Silver Peak WAN Optimization (discontinued)

It works fantastic when you want to reduce network cost and get the same result than with an MPLS. It's less appropriate for big companies with a lot of small sites.

Incentivized

• WAN Acceleration.
• Improves application performance.
• Reduce bandwidth costs.

Incentivized

• Managing more and more routers can add complexity with templates.
• Documentation around internal routing protocol they use is confusing.
• Boost add-on was oversold by pre-sales team and not helpful during testing.

We currently have almost all Cisco Meraki and would have loved to keep the product portfolio the same. Silver Peak was far cheaper and offered far more features. A lot of our evaluation showed that NGFW offers SD-WAN but it is not a full-featured deployment. Silver Peak is by and large better at being able to use both links at once, offer failover, QoS, and central reporting.

Incentivized

• Able to get rid of MPLS
• No more router hardware costs
• Able to use both WAN links instead of one being only failover
