    Chose Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN
    SD-WAN vs traditional routing is so much more advanced and interesting. Centralised management of devices makes everything easy to deploy, especially across hundreds of locations. The security is very similar, but I feel the network performance is improved and the setup is less …

    Silver Peak is a pretty solid product as well. It does not offer as many customizations, but that also makes onboarding significantly easier. It's a tradeoff between the amount of supported features and the complexity of the dashboard. Similarly if you are willing to …

    We've used the old Cisco SD-WAN, which no longer exists. It was a lot more complex to configure what is now called Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN. So they've definitely come a long way in that it is a lot less complicated to set up and template based.

    When we analyzed Meraki it was clear for us, that our company complexity and need required another level of maturity that was not present for there but it was for Viptela SDWAN now Cisco SDWAN.
