I've deployed forti, Palo prisma (cloudgenix), cisco/viptela, and silver peak and its just so easy, works so well.\n\n Forti is second place. It has the bonus of having a proper firewall at each spoke but it's app steering isn't as polished.\n\n Prisma is crap. Utter crap Don't bother even looking at it. 😂",

I spent more hours last renewal fighting the licensing than I ever spent on the SD-WAN itself, and before I sign up for more of that I want to look at the alternatives properly.\n\nWe are around 40 sites, MPLS plus internet plus a bit of cellular backup, mostly active-passive, policies are not exotic. The Viptela overlay itself has been great, my pain is the cost, the licensing circus and pushing everything onto a platform that stopped feeling like it is going anywhere.\n\nIf you moved off Viptela or stayed and went to Catalyst SD-WAN, what did you get to and what caught you out in the migration?",
