Bigleaf SD-WAN vs Turnium SD-WAN

Bigleaf SD-WAN is a web-based hybrid service for improving internet performance for business-critical cloud applications across business locations. Its Cloud Connect uses dynamic quality-of-service classification to prioritize traffic in real time, while application-aware routing sends voice and video toward circuits with lower latency, jitter, and packet loss. High-throughput tasks use circuits with more available bandwidth. The service measures latency, jitter, packet loss, and capacity 10 times per second in both directions, and can shift traffic between ISP circuits while keeping Bigleaf-issued IP addresses unchanged. A preconfigured router installs outside an existing firewall, supports up to four broadband circuits, and is described as having a 90-second installation. Wired and wireless circuits are supported, including fiber, cable, LEO satellite, and 5G LTE. The dashboard shows cross-site performance, alerts, and insights. Pricing is on request, with monthly billing and 12-, 24-, or 36-month agreements available.

Turnium SD-WAN connects office sites, data centers, cloud providers, vehicles, and IoT devices through private overlay networks. Its no-code networking engine automates core and edge programming, routing, and service mesh as sites are added or changed. The platform can combine wired and wireless circuits from different carriers and show performance for each link and across the whole connection. Traffic controls include per-packet link balancing, bandwidth adaptation, bidirectional QoS, automatic circuit tuning, and sub-second session failover. It distributes packets over multiple circuits and supports AES-128 or AES-256 encryption. Turnium is a software-only Layer 3 platform; partners can add their own security and orchestration solutions. It runs on x86 hardware, bare metal, virtual environments, or containers, including Debian and OpenSUSE Leap environments. Core nodes can run in IBM Cloud, and its container networking function is certified for Red Hat OpenShift. The RESTful API connects with network-management and related systems. It is paid, with pricing on request, and a free proof-of-concept trial is available; no duration is stated. The managed service is listed for the United States and Canada.
