Well, SDA is so called Software defined Access where Cisco is creating the Fabric and using VXLAN and LISP protocols as a Data plane and Control Plane. No longer you are creating VLANs now there is a concept of SGT. If you want to understand the basics of the SD-Access, Please go through the below mentioned link for your reference

IMHO,

Security - ISE integration, SGTs, CTS, Guest portal, VRF segregation are just a few examples.

Ease of deployment - You can configure a new device on your network in under an hour. You can add new networks (SGTs/IP Pools) and deploy across the network in minutes.

Uniform Device Configuration - If your network is required to comply with STIGs then you'l really appreciate this benefit.
