We decided to go for Riverbed over WAAS, and it's been great.

Took us less then 10 days to get 19 appliances deployed at all of our remote branches. We had users actually deploy them, after writing up a how-to (that's how easy it is to deploy!) Each branch only has a single T1, and this is what our WAN usage looks like after 2-3 months of usage....lots of bandwidth saved 🙂.

All we have left now, is to remove remote servers (print serving, dns, dhcp, etc), and centralize personal drives (these are still on location).

The traffic we're seeing the biggest reductions on is CIFS, NOTES, Exchange, and our local sharepoint site.

nice savings! can you elaborate on your riberbed decision? did you demo both products, what were your thougts?

our Cisco rep is trying to force WAAS down our throat. seems to me that product line isnt doing all so hot.
 
WAAS lacked many features, our big brother company actually tested out WAAS for 6 months, took them 2 months to deploy it to a few remote branches, and they had a lot of problems....I had a list somewhere, if I can find it, i'll pm/post it.
