SD-WAN is a cost-effective, flexible alternative to traditional MPLS networks, but the high rate of failed deployments indicates that achieving successful implementation is not straightforward. Organizations must be prepared to embrace new experience-driven approaches to network management, such as the need for visibility into unmanaged networks, to deploy SD-WAN effectively.
