As of January 2020

Source: Gartner (February 2020)

Ability to Execute Our emphasis is on a vendor’s service quality, pricing and track record.

These elements are particularly important for global networks because the issues of infrastructure, language and culture are more challenging than if applicable to only one country.

Completeness of Vision Visionary providers should have a clearly articulated strategy in evolving areas of enterprise networking, including networking for cloud services, SD-WAN, SDN, NFV and vCPE.

The portfolio should be broad enough to satisfy the evolving requirements of most enterprises, and not just a specific vertical, industry or customer size.
