To soon to say much about it right now as I am exploring the features and capabilities in the current phase and would like more hands-on experience to comment on.
Yes, Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) improved the network management experience; I have been able to identify endpoints or determine the right access policies using analytics, achieve zero trust security via segmentation, or exchange network policies with other network domains enterprise-wide.
As far as my experience with SD-Access -I'd say things that can be improved are - better functionality with ISE, ease to understand licensing and better documentation for configuration (add-ons, etc), and licensing.
