Research Brief: Cutting Through the SD-WAN Confusion: A Handy Guide for Enterprises

With billions of dollars in upcoming revenue forecast for the SD-WAN market, there’s plenty of “SD-WAN-washing” going on, with many solution providers jumping into the fray. Vendors slap the SD-WAN label on their products, promising the world to enterprises looking to revamp their WAN. This free-for-all in the marketplace leads to confusion for enterprises.

And while the SDxCentral Research team’s own analysis and market research point to a clear demand by enterprises for new WAN solutions, our surveys also show that confusion abounds about which vendors are the best fit for a given enterprise.

With more and more offerings cropping up on a weekly basis, sorting through the huge list of SD-WAN vendors isn’t an easy task. The key to success for enterprises is to first understand what their WAN needs are, before engaging the vendors.
