SANTA CLARA, Calif.: #5starrating--Versa, the global leader in Universal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced that its partner program has for the fifth year in a row earned the prestigious 5-Star rating from CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company. With Versa selling 100 percent through the channel, the Versa ACE (Accelerate, Captivate, Engage) Partner Program was launched in 2021 to serve VARs, SIs, SPs, and MSPs.

Versa’s global program expands the ecosystem of highly engaged partners delivering unique customer value through its differentiated Versa Unified SASE and Versa Titan solutions. The ACE Program was the first in the industry to offer a SASE accreditation, with partners rewarded for achieving competency and expertise in their specialty areas. Partners are provided with sales and technical training and are eligible for discounts and marketing benefits to generate new revenue opportunities.

“For the fifth year in a row, CRN’s 5-Star rating of the Versa ACE Partner Program is a huge testament to our unwavering commitment to supporting our partners with the most comprehensive channel program, and the value and advantages we deliver,” said John Atchison, Versa Head of Global Channel Marketing. “We are committed to ensuring our partners globally have continual access to differentiated offerings so they can competitively pursue new and emerging market opportunities at all times.”

The 5-Star Award is an elite recognition given to companies that have built their partner programs on the key elements needed to nurture lasting, profitable, and successful channel partnerships. For the 2025 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication. This annual guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.

“Being featured on the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide highlights the dedication these technology vendors have to evolving with solution providers, driving innovation, and supporting mutual success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This critical annual project empowers solution providers to identify vendors that are committed to enhancing their partner programs and meeting the always-changing business needs of the channel and end customers. The guide provides deep insight into the distinctive value of each partner program so solution providers can make strategic partnership decisions with confidence.”
