WAN redesign, available options?

Hey guys,

I have been tasked to work on our WAN redesign. Currently we have remote offices all over the world with old school MPLS connection to head office. We're moving more and more services to Azure and we're working on re-designing our WAN.

I was thinking of implementing SD-WAN and removing MPLS all together or having it as backup.

I was reading below and Cisco SD-WAN seems to be a good solution:

From my understanding, SD-WAN is basically having VPN tunnels on remote offices routers via internet and then use PBR to determine what traffic goes through the tunnels right?

Has anyone had experience with replacing old school MPLS with SD-WAN? Are there any alternative options to re-design WAN to connect remote offices to the cloud? Any comments highly appreciated! thanks!

Cheers,

Hoomi
