Re: Not a great year?
Perhaps your informal poll of analysts just marked the "trough of disillusionment" stage of adoption?

Re: Not a great year?
Early definitions of SDN focused on OpenFlow. The current definition is more flexible -- it's just about using software to define the network, as the name implies. SDN today is about disaggregating software from hardware, which all the major vendors are doing. Indeed, it is becoming standard for networking. 

I'm baffled why nearly a half-dozen analysts would think it's a bad year for SDN.

Re: SDN
Reliability, standards, and usability are all important, but it's also important to put those into balance. In the case of reliability, in particular, we're seeing a shift of definitions from requiring the standard "five nines" to making the service just reliable ENOUGH.
