Description

Communications platform as a service (CPaaS) has become a strategic enabler of digital business, driving the operationalization of customer and employee engagement across industries. As enterprise transformation accelerates, companies are rearchitecting their communications workflows around programmable interfaces that unify data, intelligence, and automation. Beyond messaging, voice, and video, CPaaS anchors the broader digital experience layer, bridging applications, cloud infrastructure, and networks.

While messaging continues to dominate usage volumes, the market’s value creation is shifting toward AI-driven automation, trust-based communications, and network API monetization. As enterprises seek greater integration with customer data platforms and generative AI workflows, CPaaS providers are responding with converged architectures that extend across unified communications-as-a-service and contact center-as-a-service domains. Consolidation has accelerated, driven by telco-backed platforms and regional challengers seeking to scale, achieve compliance, and specialize in verticals.

This Frost Radar™ benchmarks 23 global CPaaS providers that enable enterprises, developers, and service providers to embed communications capabilities into business applications and workflows. Vendors are evaluated based on innovation velocity, ecosystem breadth, and execution excellence across Frost & Sullivan’s 10 Growth and Innovation criteria.

Frost & Sullivan analyzes numerous companies in an industry. Those selected for further analysis based on their leadership or other distinctions are benchmarked to reveal their position on the Frost Radar™. The publication presents competitive profiles of each company on the Frost Radar™ considering their strengths and the opportunities that best fit those strengths.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
