Reviewed on Jan 29, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Alkira Cloud Networking boasts an intuitive graphical interface that abstracts the complexities related to networking tasks. While its agility enables instant setup of network configurations, it's also easy to make modifications on the go. Besides active visibility, there are full-fledged analytics and monitoring tools available to provide conscious management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve for novices in advanced networking concepts. Some features are hardly documented and this leads to underutilization as the more powerful parts shadow them. Very few third-party integrations coupled with challenges of organizations that have a superb toolset might be limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alkira Cloud Networking met the requirement for network infrastructures which are scalable and flexible as well. The platform simplifies configuration to reduce any kind of bottlenecks that could be present during deployment. The tools which analyzed automatically help in improving the performance of the network with downtime being kept at a minimum level along with an improved rate of reliability.
