"Pros and cons of CISCO SD WAN"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN?

There are two things that I like about cisco sd wan :

1. Control over deployment : Usually while working with cloud the main issues that exist during the release is problems while deployment of our model but here I get the least problem based on that.

2. Optimization of SAAS application: In my organization my senior used to have day to day operations related to this and i always heard positive word in this aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN?

The main thing where i switched from Cisco sd WAN to Telia SD WAN was the " cost"

Where in the long run our organization was finding that telia SD is better in terms of cost and cloud infrastructure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN?

Implementation is very interesting. The centralized control function is available. With the architecture, we can combine SD Wan device MPLS, ILL & FTTH services. One of the best load balancers.

Some of the devices are out of sale now, like vEdge100 and vEdge1000. Need more storage for saving historical data & console is activity is little slow. Other than that, I don't have any dislike points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN?

We can deploy the data policies to route the traffic from a centralized dashboard. Also, the configuration of devices can be done in less amount of time. We can monitor and troubleshoot the issues of the MPLS network with greater visibility compared to legacy networks. It provides more security by creating end-to-end VPN tunnels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN?

It needs to improve the alerts generated on the dashboard. Vmanage has some glitches when we are modifying the existing data policies and aar policies. It should add more applications into application family to get the best performance in Cloud on Ramp Saas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
