CATO - Best SASE offering in the market

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Cato SASE Cloud from other similar products?

CATO is the first to implement Network and Security convergence and in such a seamless manner.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

1. CATO SASE performs real-time application analytics and vulnerability assessments, reporting any risks and threats discovered within your network. 2. The administration panel is also extremely customisable, allowing administrators to create and define network rules to regulate network traffic. 3. CATO also enables administrators to simply specify the proper static DNS settings that are immune to IP address changes,

What do you dislike most about this product?

1. CATO is still in its infancy, with a small fan/userbase and few online support articles and forums to discuss concerns. 2. User and group management in CATO remains a nightmare, with bulk user updates/edits still unavailable. 3. The rollout of new versions, such as the Desktop Client, is not always clear.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is an easy recommend for anyone looking for a SASE solution.
