I've had very good experiences with the Cisco WAAS products. We have deployed the WAAS product for just bandwidth reduction across the WAN. For Oracle-based applications we were seeing 20x throughput increases. In another instance we were getting 10-12Mb of throughput across a T-1 circuit on a consistant basis just from the compression and optimization. The product does work as expected with easy deployment and minimal configuration.
The central management console of the product is good for administering the remote appliances so you don't have to create individual policies and manage each appliance seperately. Creating rulesets and reporting on the boxes is good on the current version and appears to be getting an enhancement on new version coming out in June/July.
