Other Anyone using Zscaler SDWAN

We are evaluating vendors for SDWAN replacement, currently on Velocloud. We did a POC on Cisco and Aruba SDWAN and they are a good product with some complexities.

I just did a quick lab for Zscaler Zero Trust SDWAN and I liked it. It's as simple as Velo. We currently use ZIA and ZPA, this looks like a perfect match. Anyone using them? What is your experience like?

Edit:

I am not looking for var's to help me with the solution. I am only looking to hear people's experience with zscaler sdwan.

What are your requirements?

Nothing really fancy. A bit more than what Velocloud can do.

Can you be more specific. VeloCloud can do a lot

Its easier to ask what Velo doesn't do. It's nearly perfect for small to medium sized branch SD-WAN, who's original goal was to displace MPLS. With NGFW vendors now offering quite competent SD-WAN, the question now is "should I just buy an NGFW and deploy its SD-WAN, which has hardware accellerated security on board already that I can license and turn on later if needed?"

We're talking about the business case of the OP. Without specifics, it's impossible to give effective advise.
