In May and June 2023, Frost & Sullivan conducted a global survey of network decision makers to understand businesses’ perceptions and purchase decisions regarding SD-WAN and SASE. This report examines responses from APAC businesses of various sizes in verticals including financial services, healthcare, retail, education, government, technology, and manufacturing.

The results provide a glimpse of enterprise decision processes, including digitalization trends, SD-WAN deployment trends, benefits and challenges of SD-WAN solutions, SD-WAN buying preferences, SASE adoption trends, reasons for SASE deployment, SASE adoption challenges, and preferred partners for SASE deployment.

The Frost & Sullivan 2023 enterprise network survey validates that APAC businesses are aggressively deploying SD-WAN solutions across branch locations as part of their digital transformation initiatives. Some businesses have implemented SASE while others are still learning about and analyzing the benefits of deploying a SASE solution.

The report presents key insights into how the market is developing in terms of SD-WAN and SASE technologies and entails a holistic view of how the APAC market will continue to adopt these technologies in the future.
