I only started working with SD-WAN about 2 years ago. I did a PoC with Talari Networks (recently acquired by oracle), Silver Peak, and Meraki (Meraki is NOT SD-WAN.).
I ended up going with talari because it was not a subscription-based model, so the price was right. Only Down fall was that the config editor was clearly just a fancy way to display a .xml file (literally the way it expands you can tell where in the xml file the setting will sit... So maybe that's a pro depending on perspective.)
Anyway, for those of you who have some legit experience with multiple vendors, who do you like best, and why?
*My irrelevant passion regarding "SD-WAN": Why do we call this technology Software-Defined WAN? The WAN has always been Software-Defined. Routing is software. "SD-WAN" is just another Routing Protocol that, like BGP, runs at L4 with health-checks built-in. But hey, "SD-WAN" sounds cool, right?
