"An Essential Part of our Solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Bigleaf Networks?

Using BigLeaf allows us to eliminate downtime almost completely, but it also gives us so much insight into our clients' ISP connections that we can never hope to obtain from the providers or their equipment. The ability to use 2 different ISP providers with BigLeaf in the middle has opened up more bandwidth and availability at lower costs for many of our clients in industrial areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bigleaf Networks?

The biggest thing people have to wrap their heads around is that it's a 3rd service they need to pay for, in addition to 2 ISPs. But that's the reality of any SDWan service, and once they understand what it provides them, the results are worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Faithful and Reliable - best IT partner we have"

5/5

What do you like best about Bigleaf Networks?

BigLeaf has been professional, easy to work with, and continues to add value to our organization after many years of service. Their support is top-notch and their engineers REALLY know their stuff! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bigleaf Networks?

That other providers push "SD-WAN" with stateless circuit failover instead of partnering with BigLeaf to provide true software defined WAN capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Inexpensive, easy, and reliable."

5/5

What do you like best about Bigleaf Networks?

The most helpful thing about Bigleaf is that it's very easy to setup and is very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bigleaf Networks?

I really can't think of any reason why I dislike Bigleaf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bigleaf Networks solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the business we implemented Bigleaf, we are completely dependent upon the internet to process sales. No internet, no sales. The other thing it fixes is with other solutions, you may not have the same public IP depending on what circuit is up or not. With Bigleaf I have the same IP regardless of which circuit is up. This is criticial for our business because our POS requires activity to come from preapproved IP addresses. With our prior setups, we used a 4G LTE backup and as soon as we switched over to that, the IP would of course change and there was no way to enusre we got the same IP. Bigleaf gives us the same IP address per site regardless of what circuit is up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great service, Great product and the right price"

5/5

What do you like best about Bigleaf Networks?

Service is what brings us back to Bigleaf Networks. The prices are good, the reliability of the product is great, the benefits are outstanding and most importantly the service is what brings us back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bigleaf Networks?

It is tough for us to get a quote to add new clients or upgrade surrent clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bigleaf Networks solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use SD-WAN through Bigleaf to bond internet services and also for the QOS function. The system allows us to use a single public IP address for multiple circuits and traffic can switch back and forth between them without interrupting a session or a VoIP call. In addition we get alerted if a client has a circuit issue so we can be proactive and get it repaired before it is service affecting to the client. Most times we need to alert them that there is a technician on the way as they don't notice the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible - (not kidding) - Always there support"

5/5

What do you like best about Bigleaf Networks?

I deal with a lot of vendors for support. In my role, I also deal with a lot of companies to configure B2B communications (EDI/XML/JSON). Of everyone I deal with, Big Leaf tech support is ALWAYS first in my mind of a company that will resolve my issue on the first call and within 5 minutes. They don't transfer me to someone smarter, or take down a note and have someone call back within 4 hours. They are always staffed with very knowledgeable support staff at the ready right now. This includes 10pm on a thursday as well as 3am on a Sunday. Their support is impressive in this day and age. In the five years they've been our SDWan provider we've only needed to call them five or six times. They have a great product and they support it amazingly well.

"Best tech / telecom service I have ever used"

5/5

What do you like best about Bigleaf Networks?

I have been using Bigleaf since 2015. It has been the best experience of any tech / telecom service I have ever used. The service is incredibly stable. It ships plug and play, and you can literally set it and forget. On the off chance you have an issue, their support team has always been easy to reach and quick to assist and ensure you're back online. They also send proactive alerts if a router is at risk of failure so they can overnight a replacement to avoid downtime. They have even gone above and beyond when dealing with WAN issues that are beyond their scope of support. I have never even looked into another SD-WAN service and strongly recommend Bigleaf to every single customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bigleaf Networks?

Some customers raise questions on the throughput based subscriptions plans. I have never had an issue with this in real world use though. The QoS is exceptionally good and automatically prioritizes real time communications and other critical sensitive traffic. And if you saturate your througput regularly you'll be notified to consider increasing or otherwise addressing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bigleaf Networks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bigleaf's SD-WAN's strong suit is the same IP failover. You never experience disruption with packet loss or interruption when switching WAN's. The WAN status and performance monitoring provides critical information in troubleshooting ISP issues. It helps avoid finger pointing so you know where to focus your attention to quickly resolve ISP / WAN issues. This saves a lot of time and frustration for everyone.
