The catch
Classic Broadcom-acquisition concerns — heavyweight, costly, complex deployments, and the post-CA pricing/support reputation make it a "you already have it because you're a giant telco" tool, not a new adoption.

The honest take
Enterprise/carrier-scale and priced to match. Almost nobody adopts this fresh in 2026 — you inherit it. If you’re evaluating it greenfield, you probably have the headcount to run anything.
