Cisco SD-Access Review
- Network security
- Stability of the user experience
- Effectiveness and efficiency
- Network Visibility
- Integration with third-party solution
- Use of licenses makes the solution more expensive
- DNA versions contain many bugs
- Security: Macro and micro segmentation
- Configuration: LAN Automation and provisioning
- Monitoring and telemetry: Network metrics and insights
- Documentation: Working in this solution I realized there were missing information details about the fusion device support for nexus.
- Fusion router: This roll in the fabric should be already integrated in the solution, right now it is configured manually.
- Bugs: Unfortunately the solution still present a lot of bugs, mainly in the controller.

Cisco SD-Access review
- Automation, pushing template-based configuration to multiple devices in one push saves time and manpower.
- Assurance [helps trace] issues related to devices, clients, and provide the troubleshoot as [the] best practices.
- Segmentation, with the use of the SGT tags, we are able to achieve segmentation and micro-segmentation securely.
- There are some issues we are facing like the stability of the DNA center versions.
- Need to simplify the licenses used for Devices and the DNA center which is hard to understand and explain further.
- We may do the segmentation of the network and each single switch port is able to provide multiple virtual Vlan to its relevant IT equipment
- After configuring the Cisco telephone to our office can able to connect laptop with desk phone using the LAN connection and gets the desired VLAN
- Only after authorization user will able to gain network access
- One time implementation is a bit complex hence it should be bit simpler
