What do you like best about Cato SASE Cloud?

Better Manageability of console. Product is user friendly as the deployment was custom tailored to be without intervention and configuration also surpassed all customer expectations. The implementation of product has also been a fantastic experience as the transition of existing policies were quite easlier for transition. As we are using this product on a daily basis, we have been able to mitigate the challenges faced earlier and ease the administration to a subtle level. The ease of integration with several compatible OEMs were also much effective and substantial. While the product have seen use cases been met properly, customer support is also one very useful and important delight where we got good support in terms of technicality and ease of use.

What do you like best about Cato SASE Cloud?

CATO is reliable, the hardware, the firmware, I have had no issue

I think the Categories are well kept up to date, and detection of the app is pretty good.

Support can be great at the end Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cato SASE Cloud?

I am noticing about 10 ms for interVLAN routing, which is is my opinion too much latency, and much higher than any other things I have seen.

When reviewing the monitoring, sometimes, adding multiple filters for something is not possible, or not that easy to figure it out.

The license is very expensive. I cannot believe when I removed a site there was no licensing change or saving for the customer

Support often gives useless insights on tikcet updates.

The firewall rules don't seem to have a policy checker, or I haven't seen it. The rules are not easy to understand at first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cato SASE Cloud?

Deployment and management of new sites and resources are what I like best. The service is just extremely agile and scalable.

We have been using Cato for about 5 years. I have also evaluated other SASE companies during contract renewal periods and have not found anyone that compares. In my opinion it is not even lose. Cato is the best Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downside is not really a huge downside it is just a matter of learning new technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cato SASE Cloud?

CATO SASE platform is the best console setup for every manager and network administrator. When we first looked at the demo we first noticed that how easy and simplistic the interface was, but how advanced the configuration allowed us to implement without utilizing additional software, tech support or specialists. Implementation was extremly fast, the implementation team was very knowledgable, and customer support team is very fast to respond to tickets and escellate any issue regardless of importance. My personal favorite features include the ability to use multiple ISPs simultaniously, configure on-site hardware within the console, reporting and application analytics all within a single product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cato SASE Cloud?

BGP routing has minimal features and integration if you integrate with another 3rd party network connections.

Network planning with routing could be improved, still track that on a spreadsheet, if you have a lot of subnets and sites you have to track those network subnets. Would be nice to have the ability to setup a list of available subnets and assign them to a site/network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cato SASE Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing us to be self service for all our network configuration and troubleshooting needs without submitting change requests to a helpdesk that takes weeks to make changes when I need things done in minutes or hours, not weeks or months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cato SASE Cloud?

We originally implemented Cato to replace our legacy VPN solution with something more reliable. In the process, we gained extremely detailed insights into the network traffic on our endpoints, and the ability to block threats at the network edge. Cato has been transformative in our ability to monitor and control network traffic, and it has been extremely reliable as a VPN solution for our fully remote workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cato SASE Cloud?

There is not a lot to dislike. The biggest impactful issue to our organization is having to block DNSSEC in Cato for macOS users - this is more of a macOS problem than a Cato problem, but if they could find a more elegant solution for us, it would eliminate our only real pain point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cato SASE Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our original reason for implementing Cato was to replace an unreliable VPN solution. Cato's SDP (VPN) client has proven to be extremely reliable, and we also gained insights into the network traffic on our endpoints, as well as the ability to block threats at the network edge and limit access to network resources based on role.

The ability to connect the various production sites with simplicity, always knowing that you are protected by a next generation firewall.

The customer support is very quick to answer to your questions and the support level is very high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Purchasing VPN licenses in packs of 10. It would be very useful to have the option to purchase licenses individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cato SASE Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data lose prevention and the configuration of the external sites as branches in two quick configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cato SASE Cloud?

Cato's cloud console makes it easy to manage the various aspects of their services. The Cato client is robust and just works. Switch to Cato reduced my service desk burden by approximately 20%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cato SASE Cloud?

With power comes complexity. It takes a while to learn how to navigate the cloud management console to find what one is looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cato SASE Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Cato predominately for end-user remote access. The client application and integration with Windows SSO has been a god-send for my users and service desk. If users are inside my network, the client continues to run and return telemetry, but stays out of the way of network access. When off-network, the client encrypts all traffic, sending it via Cato Cloud, allowing me to control egress points and access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
