Nokia was very good for a large scale deployment. Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN was better for a small scale deployment (cost less). The product have similar features. The differentiator was at the cost level.

So I've used Versa and I've used Silver Peak. And to be honest I originally started off loving Versa more than Cisco, as far as the SD-WAN, just because it seemed like they were more developed. Of course they were focused solely on SD-WAN, so I think they were developed a lot …

I have some experience with DNA Center. My involvement with DNAC wasn't as involved as it is with SD WAN. But it is similar, you know, controller management also ACI. ACI is the beast, so this one I have to learn. And then ICE.

It is a flexible tool for managing and optimizing WAN connections, but it does require some technical expertise to manage. It excels in its ability to integrate multiple WANs. It will however be a not-so-useful purchase if your company has few locations as it will be more expensive and complex for nothing.

Cons
Cisco
  • It does appear to be a little glitchy when you go from template mode to CLI mode and try to do testing on certain areas. The configuration tends to get hung in that old session when you drop it from being controlled by the controller to making changes in CLI. I've had a lot of instances where you try to put it back into controller mode for review management and it holds on to your items you've had in CLI mode , it gets a little confused at which config it needs to use. You end up having to reset the whole number environment.

Return on Investment

  • It's definitely decreased the amount that we spend on really expensive circuits every year. We're moving to cheaper broadband circuits with much higher throughput, being able to leverage those and still get the performance that we want, the quality of service that we want.
