How to choose
Which network features should I compare?
Compare SD-WAN, secure access or SASE, cloud firewall and network monitoring against the work you need the service to handle.
The board also compares connectivity type and managed sites, which can help clarify whether a platform fits your network setup.
How can I compare free and paid plans?
Check whether a free plan is available and what the paid starting price is. A free trial is different from an ongoing free plan.
Some listed services give pricing on request, so you may need to contact the provider to learn the cost.
Does the platform need to run on a specific device or offer an API?
Compare the listed platform support with the devices or systems your team uses. Web, Linux, iOS, macOS and Windows are among the platform labels shown.
An API lets other software connect to a service. Check API access if you need to link network management with another tool.
Questions
What should I compare in a Network as a Service platform?
Compare SD-WAN, secure access or SASE, cloud firewall, network monitoring, connectivity type, managed sites, API access and pricing.
Do Network as a Service platforms offer free plans?
Some have a free plan, while others are paid. A free trial is separate from a free plan, so check both labels.
How do I find the price of a NaaS platform?
Check the paid starting price. Some providers list pricing as available on request rather than publishing a price.
What does API access mean for a network platform?
An API is a way for other software to connect to a service. Compare API access if you need to link network tools.
What does SASE mean when choosing a network service?
SASE means secure access service edge. Compare secure access or SASE support alongside SD-WAN, firewall and monitoring features.
