<\/em>Company Description<\/h2>\n

    Analyst View<\/h2>\n

    Gartner said AT&T would be a good fit for organizations with a preference for services to be sourced from a single supplier, particularly managed network services and IT infrastructure security controls. Its security portfolio complements its managed network infrastructure and service offerings. It is positioned as a Challenger by Gartner. However, it lacks support for Microsoft Azure and has limited support for software as a service (SaaS) providers (Office 365, Box and Salesforce are supported).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
