Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki SD-WAN

Meraki SD-WAN is simple and just works. Sure, it is not as customizable as some other SD-WANs such as Catalyst but 90% of customers don't need the level of customization and Meraki SD-WAN is just perfect. It's the easiest to implement. Combined with ThousandEyes it has great in-depth insight into performance issues. Security features are provided either by the firewall in the box or from SSE offering integration. And everything from switch to AP can be managed via a single GUI, which is just awesome.
