Netskope is clearly a firm believer in having its own network and dedicated network delivery architecture, having tried using the public cloud prior to 2018 and finding it far too restrictive and limited, both geographically and in terms of performance capabilities, the two being naturally intertwined. There is also the very real factor that a public CSP is obviously going to prioritize its own commercial traffic and services over those of a subscriber and, moreover, isn’t going to be interested in resolving individual performance problems. Additionally, a SASE vendor stands to lose significant control of its service delivery by relying on a third party, especially when trying to differentiate its service offerings or troubleshoot issues.
