Riverbed customers tell Network World readers what they think of Riverbed

Network World recently made a public request for Riverbed customers to share their experience with Riverbed's Steelhead product and the responses were nothing short of amazing. 

Here are some example quotes...enjoy!

 

"Riverbed is the one manufacturer that actually delivers  exactly what they promise"

"They are simply amazing devices."

"We looked at several vendors from Packeteer to Juniper - none of them came even close to matching Riverbed's performance or ease of installation and maintenance. They just work and they work well."

"We have now been using Steelheads for 8 months and they have been flawless."

"In the end, these Steelheads are a HUGE cost savings to my organization."

"One thing that really sets Riverbed apart is their stellar service and support."

"Our nightly over the wire backups have gone from 23 hours down to 4 hours on top of cutting the WAN link speed in half."

"Needless to say, we were stunned at how well the products work with so little configuration and fuss."

"Our firm spent over 6 months evaluating WAN optimization technology from Juniper, Cisco, Bluecoat, and Riverbed. Only Riverbed delivered as promised with simple installation, incredible acceleration, and noticable end user performance increases."

"Riverbed's support is outstanding, and I have been able to reach qualified, prompt engineers in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific every time (those are the only places I've needed to reach them from - I have no doubts that if I called from the moon, they would be there too)."

"I have over 100 Riverbed Steelheads deployed in my network and from day one they just worked."

"We have 4 Steelheads and can't imagine functioning without them."

"We have deployed 25 Steelheads worldwide and our continuing success with the product has allowed us to change the entire paradigm we use when thinking about how to build and connect our offices."

"We compared Cisco, Juniper and Riverbed devices in our proof of concept. The Riverbed devices were superior to the other platforms from a performance perspective and far superior to the other platforms from a management perspective."

"The entire experience with Riverbed has been exceptional. The product itself, although very complex, installs and works with ease. The performance it can deliver on a WAN is amazing."

"If there is any question about this product, allow me to help; this product is wonderful."

"Riverbeds allow me to basically deploy a new office in no time! Our staff collaboration, along with collaboration with our partners, has increased exponentially! Really made me shine in my company. Thanks!"

"They just start delivering out of the box.  What more can I say."

"The Riverbed performance, management and reliability beat all the other solutions we looked at."
