Which solution has the best SD-WAN features in terms of deployment, robustness, and management: Cisco SD-WAN or Fortinet Secure SD-WAN?

Hello peers, 

I am a Network Support Engineer at a small tech services company.

My organization is looking to deploy an SD-WAN solution. I want to know which solution is best: Cisco SD-WAN or Fortinet Secure SD-WAN? We currently have eight sites interconnected and two of the sites have data centers.

Thank you for your help.

While Cisco comes to SD-WAN from the router ecosystem integrating Viptella Software, Fortinet comes to SD-WAN from being a firewall expert. Would suggest you try out FatPipe as they are an organic SD-WAN OEM and may suit your requirements.
