This research includes the analysis of 12 SD-WAN infrastructure vendors spanning IDC’s research coverage. This assessment is designed to evaluate the characteristics of each firm across a set of criteria broken into two major buckets: current and future capabilities of the SD-WAN infrastructure and current and future strategy of the SD-WAN infrastructure offering.
IDC used a variety of primary research methods to produce this document including interviews with vendors and customers, a detailed questionnaire all vendors completed, and detailed product briefings from each vendor. This evaluation should not be considered a final judgment of firms to consider for a project, however. An enterprise’s specific objectives and requirements will play a significant role in determining which firms should be considered as potential candidates for an engagement.
