Cisco vs VMware SD-WAN

No matter which market share report is considered, either Cisco or VMware holds the top SD–WAN vendor ranking. Both these giants have been battling for supremacy in the SD–WAN market ever since they  began to spend millions of dollars in this field.

In the latter approach, any external service provider is not hired for the deployment of SD-WAN. Instead, it is managed and set up by the company’s own IT teams.
