SD-WAN vs. MPLS: Which is Better? There are a handful of factors to consider before shifting an organization to an SD-WAN solution from a traditional MPLS configuration. So what is SD-WAN vs. MPLS useful for? Check out the table below to compare each option:
SD-WAN MPLS
If security is not automatically built-in, teams need add-on options
Internet traffic backhauled to the data centre
Complexity
Broad application visibility
Packet routing limits visibility
Visibility
Consolidated services greatly reduce TCO
Expensive to build and maintain
Cost
Enables MPLS, broadband, LTE for high-speed
MPLS offers limited bandwidth and single point of failure

management functions, and advanced security function as a single, holistic solution. An NGFW, whose key components include intrusion prevention (IPS), web filtering, secure sockets layer (SSL) inspection, and anti- malware, is an example of an integrated solution. Solutions that combine SD-WAN and NGFW capabilities into single offerings satisfy the key requirements for secure SD-WAN—and ensure the safety and reliability of connections and for the organization overall. As enterprises adopt remote workforce policies, networks grow more distributed.
A new networking and security strategy is required that combines network and security functions with WAN capabilities to support the dynamic, secure internet access for a “work from anywhere” global workforce. SD-WAN plays a critical role in the adoption of emerging solutions like Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and enables flexible and consistent security across all edges.
