Versa Maintains Position as Leader and Outperformer in All Three SASE-Related GigaOm Radar Reports
Santa Clara, Calif. – Oct. 8, 2025 – Versa, the global leader in unified networking and security, today announced that GigaOm, a leading technology research firm, has rated the Versa Secure SD-WAN as a Leader and Outperformer for the second year in a row in the 2025 GigaOm Radar Report for Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Solutions. This year’s report evaluated 31 SD-WAN solutions and classified vendors as Leaders, Challengers, or Entrants based on scoring of each offering across a broad set of criteria.
Versa has now been named a Leader and Outperformer in all three of GigaOm’s most recent SASE-related industry reports. In May, Versa was rated a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for Security Service Edge (SSE), while in February GigaOm recognized Versa as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).
Business Value with Built-In Security
Versa Secure SD-WAN, a cornerstone offering of the integrated VersaONE Universal SASE Platform, earned 5-star ratings in the new report for its Integrated ZTNA, Intent-based Networking, SSE/SASE Migration Path, Flexibility, Interoperability, Manageability, Observability, Scalability, and Support. Versa also received the highest score among all 31 vendors in the report’s Business Criteria Comparison and was ranked second overall in the Emerging Features Comparison. Among strengths cited were Versa’s next-generation security, with the report highlighting that Versa Secure SD-WAN “integrates microsegmentation across the entire network infrastructure, including IoT and corporate user traffic,” and combines “next-generation firewall, intrusion prevention, and unified threat management capabilities within a single operating system, eliminating the need for traditional security appliance sprawl.”
Continuous Innovation Cycles
Versa is positioned as a Leader based on high scores across the decision criteria evaluated in the report. In the GigaOm Radar summary matrix, Versa Secure SD-WAN is included in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant, signifying that Versa combines “…next-generation SD-WAN innovation with comprehensive platform integration, delivering advanced capabilities such as AI/ML-driven traffic optimization, cloud-native SD-WAN architectures, SASE convergence, and intelligent application steering through fully integrated platforms designed for continuous evolution.”
The report also highlights Versa as an “Outperformer,” based on an evaluation of Versa’s execution against its roadmap and vision. GigaOm summarized, “Versa is classified as an Outperformer due to industry-first Sovereign SASE capabilities, faster AI integration than competitors offer, continuous innovation cycles, and comprehensive Universal SASE platform expansion ahead of the market trends.”
“We are proud to continue to be recognized as an industry leader across the board in GigaOm’s three Radar reports related to SASE, one of only three companies earning this recognition,” said Dan Maier, Versa’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Being named a Leader and Outperformer in GigaOm’s SD-WAN Radar for the second year in a row, along with top recognition in both the SSE and SASE Radars, underscores that while others are stitching together acquisitions and chasing buzzwords, we’ve built the real thing: a fully integrated, AI-powered SASE platform that delivers security and networking without compromise.”
