"Lots Of Searching, Moved To Fortigate Secure SD-WAN With Confidence"
"We looked around for nearly 6 months in the SD-WAN world, carefully searching for the right vendor, product, and support. After we spent many, many days of review, we decided to use FortiGate as our solution. This works especially nice when you are already in the FortiGate land, as we were. We primarily chose FortiGate as this would integrate with a lot of our existing infrastructure, especially security. IT also included the more advanced features we wanted like FEC (forward error correction)."

"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)."

Policies etc. could be added simple, to manage priority, bandwidth by rules."
