Find the Right SD-WAN Vendor by Building the Perfect RFP

SD-WAN is more than just a buzzword now: It's a product segment reaching a maturity inflection point. A growing number of vendors are offering on-premise, SaaS, and managed services options and many enterprises large and small are deploying SD-WANs for real-world use.

But that means there's a glut of offerings in the marketplace, with varying capabilities and value propositions, and trying to choose the right vendor can be overwhelming and lead to analysis paralysis.

As a public service, Riverbed is here to help you cut through the clutter and make an informed decision, regardless of which vendor you choose in the end. We've got two great resources for you:

"Four Factors for Evaluating SD-WAN Vendors," an on-demand webinar that outlines what you should be looking for when you're making your choice
"How to Create an RFP for SD-WAN Solutions," a guide that you can cut and paste from to help you create your own request for proposals to send to SD-WAN vendors

Together, these resources will guide your journey, helping you figure out what questions to ask, in a broad-based and vendor-neutral way that will allow you to reach the best decision for you.
