Overview
Key Findings
Most vendors in this research integrate multiple products/consoles to deliver their offerings, although three vendors (Palo Alto, Cato and Versa) provide a single, unified product.
Vendor rankings across the use cases vary substantially. For example, there is a separate vendor at the top and bottom of each use case.
Across all offerings, most vendors provide strong branch networking and branch network security capabilities. However, the level of advanced security features across all offerings is only mediocre for most enterprises.
There is a wide range of variation among vendor offerings in several areas, including points of presence, unified experience and SaaS control/visibility.
