"Cisco SD-WAN has separate OMP routing."
"The solution sufficiently provides ISPs."
"The regular net routing is a good feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy to deploy."
"The analytics is the most valuable feature because it was very granular and very comprehensive, although a little complicated to use. If you're really interested in knowing what's happening on your network, it's a very good solution. That was the .NET Profiler part of the solution."
"They should enhance the reporting because, as it is today, they need more executive-level reports."
"The initial setup is really complex."
"Some competitors are much faster in providing out-of-the-box solutions, more innovative solutions. In terms of innovation, in many cases, they're lagging behind."
"We don't have any issues with this solution other than the price."

"It's an expensive solution."
"The deployment is complex."
"Cisco SD-WAN's clustering mechanism needs to be improved. If there are more than five milliseconds of latency time between installations of the VM manager, the cluster automatically breaks down."
"The routing scalability needs improvement. We have run into a lot of limitations and also primarily from a routine perspective, things like RSPs line support. It was supportive but not really supportive."
