Would you still deploy IWAN?

We have been POCing a few SD-WAN Vendors (Silver Peak and Velocloud). They've been pretty good but I don't exactly get the warm fuzzies with their software. Both POCs have had their software bugs. Their devices feel more like a software platform than the feel of an appliance I can rely on like switches and routers of old.

I know IWAN isn't exactly the new hotness anymore but is it still worth looking at? Viptella is nice a look at but the Cisco Tax on that thing is nuts.

I don't believe IWAN has subscription fees so that is kind of attractive. I'm pretty sure Management of 77 WAN sites would be hell though.
