I've a client with multiple branches and i'm thinking about switching from VPN to SD-WAN for the 2 remote sites. It isn't really so much a necessity, as it performs well enough as is, but it will make the insurance/risk management folks happy. I have managed gateways at the sites, so i really don't have to do much. What am i really gaining? I've done it some, and am confident in making it work, I just thought I would get some input from the other network folks out there.

So, your thoughts on VPN vs SD-WAN?
