Just saw the notification pop up and dove right in! That was fast—feels like the 2023 report just settled. 🕵️
The big headline for me is the continued consolidation and the clear separation between "full SASE" players and the pure-play ZTNA specialists. It feels like the market is really maturing, but the trade-offs seem starker than ever. If you're all-in on a single ecosystem, the integrated leaders are a no-brainer. But for those of us with a multi-cloud, best-of-breed mentality, the choice feels more complicated.
I'm also curious about the real-world implications of the "agent vs. agentless" and "identity-aware proxy" discussions now. From a marketing automation lens, we're constantly thinking about securing access to our campaign dashboards and customer data hubs for external teams. The vendor approaches here seem to be diverging.
What's everyone's hot take? Any surprises in the leader placements? More importantly, for those who've implemented ZTNA in the last year, does this year's evaluation match your lived experience with performance, user experience, and admin overhead?
happy building
