Oracle SD-WAN (Talari) Reviews & Insights

We use Oracle [SD-WAN (Talari)] to connect our branch offices to our two main datacenters using two separate ISPs. This is used across the entire organization and allows us to provide private connectivity between sites without having to purchase expensive and high-touch private circuits, such as MPLS, VPLS, point-to-point, etc.

Product has been around for a long time and the stability and features are excellent. Now that Oracle owns it, its long-term viability is both improved (given Oracle isn't going anywhere anytime soon), but all the layers of bureaucracy and auditing that Oracle is famous for comes along with it.

We used it as a WAN router to connect a remote office to HQ. In my experience with Talari, I think it does an excellent job connecting our remote offices. Talai could solve our link issue. We do have a bunch of Link/los issues with our ISP, but we never were able to use it as is supposed to be used. I mean you should use two or more links (MPLS + internet, etc.) to able to fully take advantage of Talari link failure. Even only with only link connected it still gave us a lot of visibility, specially during link failure troubleshooting.

Although things like high speed are not available in Talari (I think none of the SDWAN providers offer this), Talari devices provide good security and are easy to manage.
