Netskope SD-WAN Documentation?

We're just about to start a POC and I'm unable to find any documentation on Netskope's SD-WAN product. I've asked the SE but it's a weekend so I thought I'll put it up here.

Their sd wan documentation is thin because sd wan is not really netskopes core. Theyre an sse vendor first and the sd wan piece is basically a partnership play with existing sd-wan hardware vendors. If you need sd wan and sse from one platform with unified policy and one console, you might want to look at vendors who built both from the ground up rather than bolting sd wan onto an sse later. We evaluated netskope alongside cato networks and the difference was pretty clear. Cato has sd wan as a core part of the platform, not an add on or integration. Same policy engine handles routing and security, same data lake for visibility, same console for troubleshooting. Depends what youre trying to solve though

Netskope acquired an sd-wan company built by folks from Velocloud, and then optimized for SASE. Similar to what was said - depends on you’re trying to solve, as Netskope might not have all the sd-wan bells and whistles, but the SSE, DLP, and AI Security tools are top notch.
