We are working with telecom companies and many government companies. The main request is to tie the branches, separate the bandwidth depending on the application, and have a unified orchestrator to see all these connections from one centralized management center.
SD-WAN provides a range of common benefits, including cost reduction, increased visibility, and scalability. It can be seen as a replacement for MPLS. This applies to all vendors, not just Cisco. When someone requests SD-WAN from Cisco, they already recognize its value within their environment.
It is expensive.
I have been using Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN for three or four years. We are Cisco's golden partner.
I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.
The solution’s scalability is high.
I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.
I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.
The product pricing is high. Fortinet is cheaper than Cisco.
I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
