Versa Earns Top Scores in New GigaOm SSE Report, Including 5-Star Ratings for Manageability, Observability and Performance
Versa, the global leader in Universal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced that GigaOm, a leading technology research firm, has rated the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform as an industry Leader and Outperformer in its annual GigaOm Radar Report for Security Service Edge (SSE). The report evaluated 19 leading security vendors and classified them as industry Leaders, Challengers, or New Entrants based on a scoring of each vendor’s offering.
Versa has now been named a Leader and Outperformer in all three of GigaOm’s SASE-related industry reports. In February, GigaOm recognized Versa as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for SASE, while in December 2024 Versa was distinguished as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for SD-WAN.
In the SSE report, Versa earned top 5-star ratings for the evaluation criteria of Manageability, Observability and Performance, and the report cited as differentiators Versa SSE’s explainable AI for anomaly detection, a unified data lake for comprehensive insights, and SLA-backed PoPs optimized for low latency and high throughput.
According to GigaOm, “Versa has a focused approach to SSE, incrementally improving existing features while innovating to add emerging capabilities. This strategy is evident in their recent product releases, partnerships, and consistent updates that address evolving security needs.”
Broad Utility, Stringent Security
With respect to the versatility of Versa’s SSE offering, which is delivered from its VersaONE Universal SASE Platform, the research report added, “Versa SSE addresses a broad range of use cases, including cloud application security, data protection and compliance, secure collaboration, secure internet access, secure remote access, and threat prevention. Versa SSE caters to cloud service providers, large enterprises, managed service providers, network service providers, and SMBs.”
In characterizing the level of security provided by Versa SSE, the report noted that “it is particularly well-suited for organizations operating in highly regulated industries or managing critical infrastructure that require stringent security measures and customizable deployment options to meet specific compliance and operational requirements.”
Mature Platform, Deep AI Integration
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 SSE is included in the Maturity/Platform Play quadrant, signifying that a vendor “…offers proven, fully integrated SSE solutions built from the ground up with comprehensive security capabilities (CASB, FWaaS, SWG, ZTNA) and complementary features like DLP and RBI, providing seamless functional and management integration.”
The report also highlights Versa as an industry “Outperformer,” based on an evaluation of a vendor’s execution against their roadmap and their vision. Specific to Versa, GigaOm reported, “Versa is classified as an Outperformer due to its continuous product evolution, deep AI integration, ambitious roadmap, and innovative solutions like the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform, which integrates SSE, SD-WAN, and SD-LAN products.”
“We are proud to be named an industry leader across the board in GigaOm’s three Radar reports related to SASE, one of only three companies in the industry earning this recognition,” said Dan Maier, Versa’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Being named a Leader and Outperformer in GigaOm’s SSE Radar – alongside our top recognition in both the SD-WAN and SASE Radars – validates what our customers already know: Versa is delivering the most complete and unified platform in the industry. 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.”
