Benefits of SD-WAN and SASE Adoption in Advancing Digital Transformation

In this research service, Frost & Sullivan analyzes the findings of the 2023 Global SD-WAN and SASE cross-vertical survey of 1,390 network decision-makers. Survey respondents comprised the C-suite and IT/network decision-makers from enterprises across verticals such as financial services, healthcare, retail, government, technology, and manufacturing.

Frost & Sullivan aimed to understand respondents’ evolving organizational priorities and the extent to which SD-WAN and SASE technology help them achieve their business objectives.

This Voice of the Customer report provides critical SD-WAN and SASE implementation and adoption findings. Digital transformation is a journey and a competitive advantage in this rich ecosystem. Survey data suggests that SD-WAN implementation is still considered complex, while internal hurdles block adoption. For SASE adoption, the results indicate it is a growing service as overall network budgets rose in 2023.

The results highlight enterprise decision processes, including the benefits of deploying SASE and SD-WAN and organizations’ purchasing preferences for SD-WAN and SASE.
