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.
