“Alkira…greatly simplifies management of our network infrastructure and enables us to focus on the growth of our business.”
“Game changer for businesses with operations in China. Great work!”
“This year we made a leap. We completed the biggest network evolution in over a decade: migrating from a global MPLS backbone to Alkira's Network as a Service (NaaS). And we did it in less than 3 weeks. The impact has been transformational: – 2000% increase in WAN bandwidth – Cost-neutral compared to MPLS.”
“Alkira's cloud-native backbone eliminated the need for lengthy provisioning and offered immediate scalability, making it a far more agile and budget-friendly alternative to traditional bandwidth upgrades.”
“One of the biggest things for me is provisioning time. We’re talking about going from days to minutes. This has huge advantages for us.”
“Alkira has been responsive and their platform offers a consistent, problem-free internet connectivity experience.”
“It is ahead of the curve and paradigm shifting to traditional technology/methodology. It is the right product at the right time to capture the movement towards cloud native and scalable architecture. It offers a unique and differentiated approach to solving for ubiquity and scale for cloud infrastructure.”
“We can now deploy many changes within minutes, reducing administrative overhead so we can move forward more rapidly with better control and observability.”
“Having a muti-cloud networking solution is absolutely a must have IMO. It almost certainly follows that orgs have an interconnect, branches, DCs etc that will need to be managed too. If you're serious about multi-cloud, having that control plane provided by a tool like Alkira is a massive benefit to Ops.”
“Alkira has been a great partner to help simplify the complexities of Cloud Native Networking. For our customers and clients that are newer to cloud or in multi-cloud, the use of this has simplified cloud on-ramp, inter-cloud and intra-cloud communication patterns.”
“Alkira is truly a networking as a service. We can provision networks with one touch.”
“Overall a very flexible product and outstanding support. The Alkira team is always present and ready to help with any questions or help my team may need.nationwide and Canada in three weeks. We would not hesitate to recommend Alkira.”
“My overall experience with Alkira has been great! The platform is robust and gives us the confidence to easily manage our complex cloud footprint.”
“Network infrastructure reimagined – Alkira has been recognized for their ability to deliver deep packet inspection, threat analysis, and multicloud orchestration—all without a single piece of hardware at your company site.”
“Working with Alkira has been fantastic, great support staff, answers all inquiries very quickly.”
“Alikra allows us to deploy quickly and maintains our security posture across all cloud platforms.”
“We deployed 1400 stores nationwide and Canada in three weeks. We would not hesitate to recommend Alkira.”
“For a company the size of Koch, it’s important to have an agile, global, end-to-end network. That’s why we’re so excited to not only utilize Alkira, Inc.’s powerful and intuitive cloud network technology in our enterprise but also invest in their talented team.”
“Alkira solves a lot of the problems we had with centralizing connectivity for multicloud in an agnostic fashion, eliminating niche environments and per-use connectivity.”
“We chose Alkira because our customers don't need yet another network provider or network tool. They need a real solution that is based in the cloud that allows them to operate with confidence, to integrate seamlessly their on-prem and cloud envionments across multiple regions and multiple service providers.”
“Aside from the product capability itself, onboarding with the Alkira team was a seamless migration – a great experience.”
“Service provided is excellent, the team are supportive and vastly knowledgeable and the product is exactly what has been missing in the industry to date.”
“Excellent product, it's stable, it's easy to leverage, it scales, it has a strong roadmap. It has many happy customers”
“Alkira was able to remove all the complexity and allow us to manage our network inside of AWS and Azure much easier than we were able to before.”
“With Alkira, our security teams precisely knew which knob to turn on to basically summon the network and distribute the network. That's the power Alkira brought to the table.”
“We met with Alkira, and after about an hour of us explaining what we needed, we created a POC – and stood that up in a morning. Design-to-POC-setup in about 4 hours.”
“The IT DIY approach was going to take 6 months to be secure and redundant and all. Alkira did it for us in 3 days, and at very low cost.”
“Interconnectivity is changing while becoming more complex. In many cases the networking hasn’t kept pace with the rate of innovation. As a result, customers need to manage, adapt, and simplify the networking operations within and across cloud providers. We see Alkira as a strategic disruptor in the space which addresses this real challenge for our customers.”
“(With Alkira) it's easy to connect (partners) without merging networks, keep the two separate until we can fully understand their security. We can control access in both directions with policies that provide us more control and protection.”
“How did we justify buying Alkira? Easy, if we didn’t, it was going to break production.”
“I just need one engineer to manage the world. Otherwise, 10 engineers.”
“Where have we been able to save money? Telco. Got rid of some DCs, shifted to cloud, reduced spend with [our old telcos] and we’re reinvesting a couple million dollars in savings into cloud.”
“You guys are freakin' brilliant.”
“Fundamentally different in Alkira: Alkira is a service. I don’t have to implement any of the associated infrastructure, so we get a lot more agility. And all services are available everywhere. Innovation is about speed to market, and I get that this way: don’t have to find and build a solution, can just deploy the service.”
“We did not have much in the way of WAN management tooling pre-Alkira. What visibility we have, we have because of Alkira – it filled a gap. We don’t need to put [our monitoring tool] in the Alkira environment.”
“Having a multi-cloud strategy means operating proprietary and incompatible multi-vendor networks. Alkira combines cloud provider features with its own network appliance to build a single, unified operational software platform. Simplifying the build and deployment of end-to-end services across cloud providers has a real impact to speed of business.”
“One (FTE) s what we have. We NEEDED more than one prior to Alkira (to manage cloud-related firewalls). Now with Alkira, one is more than sufficient.”
“We are delighted to work with AWS Partners such as Alkira who help customers simplify their on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.”
“If Alkira has its way, you’ll be able to fire up a secure, global backbone as easily as you start a Zoom call. That’s where the NaaS is taking us.”
“Working with Alkira has been fantastic, great support staff, answers all inquiries very quickly. Assisted in all major projects without hesitation or delay. Overall, the use of the platform is simple and effective, cutting back network administration overhead tremendously.”
“These costs never bubbled to the top, but looking across regions and accounts and VPCs and clouds…the combined correlated costs were way higher than we thought. This is what we were unable to see and would never be able to see without a different kind of solution.”
“Love how attentive and responsive they are. How flexible and willing to spin up or enable new features in the environment. For example, we were moving to Fortinet and they didn’t support it. They enabled features to make it available! They won by being responsive and for how agile they are.”
“We had gone from a mass of complexity and months of work to a dashboard that allowed us simply to draw our network and deploy it in a few hours.”
“Organizations that are stymied by multi-cloud network connectivity and operations should look at Alkira Networking. Alkira is simplifying the journey, and changing the trajectory to cloud.”
