Colt Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines global WAN services as points-of-presence (POP)-based services supporting multiregional corporate networks. Service providers own and operate their own global core networks and sell directly to the client. Services include transport-centric/unmanaged, managed, and co-managed network services, or network as a service via a monthly fixed or usage-based fee model. These services are measurable and consumable through customer-facing web portals and programmable APIs. Global WAN services consist of backbone network transport and last-mile access connections, providing connectivity to individual enterprise sites such as large offices or remote branches. WAN service providers are also offering more transformational capabilities, such as cloud fabrics and enhanced visibility enabled by the underlay service network, and adding more network-based security functions to their offerings. Ancillary services such as cloud interconnects, managed SD-WAN and secure access service edge (SASE) are now commonly offered. Gartner also sees providers increasingly investing in AI and automation to support more service processes across the WAN service life cycle, from network design to service assurance.

Our experience with Colt has been extremely positive. Network services are reliable and performing as expected. Colt's technical and account teams are competent, responsive and proactive. The main area for improvement is the incident management handled by the offshore support team in India.

We have had many service impacting incidents. Even though the project rollout has been pretty smooth, the choice for local 3rd parties ISPs has been poor and revealed some SLA issues.
