Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN

Used for connectivity between all of our locations, branches, data centers and cloud environments.
We were able to remove expensive private line circuits, provide more bandwidth to our locations and reduce outages.
We use this product at 60 offices, 2 data centers and 4 cloud environments.

Pros

  • Reduces cost
  • Improve reliability
  • Ease of use
  • Increased flexibility

Cons

  • GUI slowness, failures, formatting
  • Licensing
  • Lack of CLI
  • Over $1M saved anually
  • 50X increase in bandwidth
  • Fewer mistakes due to automation
Using only the GUI can be challenging. It's not super responsive and the formatting can be bad when looking at it on different sized screens.
We already had the infrastructure in place to use Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN. Using products from other vendors would have necessitated using additional equipment or virtual appliances.
