Selecting the Right SASE Solution: Single-vendor or Unified SASE?

The SASE market continues its rapid pace of growth and expansion with the consolidation of offerings, convergence of network and security services, and innovative disruption for the foreseeable future. The prospective enterprise SASE customers may find the all-too frequent introduction of new terminology, acronyms, buzzwords, and even solution categories, somewhat confusing and difficult to stay on top of. Now, modern day fall 2022, brings the next evolution of the Gartner SASE/SSE model that is worthy of some discussion, the introduction of the ‘single-vendor’ SASE solution category. How can enterprise SASE customers successfully navigate the market confusion and avoid the costly mistake of adopting a solution that may be single-vendor, but may not be the truly unified SASE solution most are seeking to adopt?
