"SDWan Come To Stay And If Is Good Nowadays Imagine In Next Years"
"SD Wan came to simplify infrastructure analyst life. When you think that before we have to balance links manually and choose which one would be responsible for some application. Another benefit is not depend anymore only from dedicated internet links which cost high and without SD Wan we can't perform best with them. When we talk about application, SD wan can give us the best performance with the rule that you think is the bet one for your application (Latency, jitter). The best one is QOS rules witch real works and bring the best performance when we talk about application that are high priority for example Conference rooms used only by executives (CEO, CIO, CFO)."

"It's possible to start using fortigate products really simple, we had quick-wins deploying SD-WAN. We created WAN uplinks with 3 VLAN's where our providers are connected, created a simple rule and we have been able to use the created SD-WAN interface. Policies etc. could be added simple, to manage priority, bandwidth by rules."
– Systems Engineering, Manufacturing
★★★★★
"Fortigate Secure SD-WAN The Way To Go!!"
"Overall the SDWAN implementation how worked well keeping our sites up, the one thing I have had an issue with is when a circuit fails over the VIPs we have setup stop working. That could be a lack of knowledge thing on my end."
