Overall Satisfaction with Cisco SD-WAN

I implement a large scale solution ( 4000 Branches ) Combined VoIP & Data , VRFs and IP security. product addresses the vast size of the solution , a one stop shop for configuration & managment .
  • IPsec
  • full Mesh along Hub & Spoke on the same Network
  • Versions managment
  • Release certain features from binding to the template for ease support cases and backwords competabilty
  • re-map of queues to behave like cisco original QOS features. the new queues behave in a non natural way , for example the default queue is numbered 2 out of 8 and the marking is hard to follow while tshooting
  • not all platforms support cachflow
  • Setup time is very long for a big solution
  • big projects can cause complications
  • competabilty with existing network
I selected Cisco SD-WAN after compering to 4 other manufacturers.
I have no relation between ACI and SD-WAN .
They are completley different in behavior and configuration

You have to come with some cisco background.
