Riverbed SteelHead Reviews & Product Details

Brilliant performance with very minimal configurations that can perform high reduction for all kinds of applications and databases and can use in different scenarios and I have personally used almost types of designs whether it is Datacenter and DR-SITE replication, Hub and spoke, physical in-path, out-of-path scenarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful about steelhead is sometimes about reporting, which is limited to 30 days if you do not have the controller and the other aspect is that you need to be more technical if you wish to troubleshoot yourself that is very technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that they are easy to set up, they work decent, and the support is good. The best though is they are easy to set up. You can deploy to remote offices fairly quickly, the longest part is the initial sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont like that if you make changes, you have to resync the data sometimes. And some file types do not work the best with them as far as speeding up the speed that much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had a specific use case where we host MS files on premises and the users who are overseas were struggling with bad performance. The Steelhead mobile client did a great job accelerating this traffic to improve the users experience and shortened file open times from 60 seconds to 10-15 seconds.

It doesnt accelerate much else as almost all other apps and file stores are in the cloud and there's limited opportunity to do anything with both encrypted and cloud hosted data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
