SD-WAN - What Has Your Experience Been Like?

We're looking into SD-WAN as a viable option and have been speaking with multiple vendors about their offerings. We're still scheduling meetings to see a few demos and I was curios to know what you guys take is on the whole thing. For us, we have a mandate by our regulatory body to have all WAN traffic encrypted so that is the main driver of this whole exercise. It was either this or purchase security licenses for all of our 50 ISRs and do VPNs that way. Obviously we wouldn't be taking advantage of the full feature set of "SD-WAN" up front but it would address the immediate need for encryption. Then down the road we can make use of things like "application based routing" and whatnot and throw in secondary cheap internet ckts. So my questions: What has your experience been like and do you have any success stories? Which vendor (there are so many!!!) did you go with?
