Cisco SD-WAN vEdge Routers
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Actually, I use vEdge Routers as proof of concept for customers. They need technology that automatically has high availability in terms of WAN links and I saw that vEdge has this kind of technology to fulfill customers' requirements.
Pros
- 3G/4G connectivity that can be used as a backup link.
- Simple deployment and configuration.
- Easy to manage using Web GUI.
Cons
- Need to be familiarized with the configuration.
- Need more time to be hands on with the GUI.
Likelihood to Recommend
Cisco vEdge Routers can be useful for customers who have many branches and need more than one WAN link. It is also useful for customers who want to reduce the cost that is associated with MPLS utilization. SDWAN technology is for customers who need it all. Although other vendors have the same product or technology, Cisco is still better because of the support from their expert engineers.
