"The most valuable features of Silver Peak VX are we can register our customers and they can receive free training and all the solutions features."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bandwidth optimization."
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"At the moment, for us, it is a very good solution because it has all the features we need and it is not so expensive."
"The initial setup is very easy and not confusing."
"The scalability is quite good."
"I haven't had any trouble, and practically forget that I'm using it."
"It's a pretty straightforward solution."
"What I found most helpful in Cato Networks is that it works out of the box. One of its main advantages is that it's a simple product to deploy. You subscribe, and you're ready to run."
"The product is very simple, and everything can be done very quickly."
"The most valuable features of Cato Networks are the always-on VPN for remote workers and centralized management. Additionally, web filtering and antivirus are good."
"When I first encountered Cato, I didn't know how to use it, but after a week of training, I could onboard our systems to it, so the solution was easy to learn and navigate."
"It is a stable solution...it is a scalable solution."
"Their WAN optimization in terms of wireless connectivity doesn't have a very good cellular capability."
"The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."
"We would like to have better features for path selection. For example, if we know the network is going to go down then we would like to set up an alternate route for data packets in real-time."
"The support from Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect has declined since Aruba acquired them. The knowledge and speed of the agents could improve."
"This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto."
"The support, which is the direct support from Aruba, has shortcomings and needs to be improved."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive."
"Modifying or incorporating Cato Network to work with a third-party platform, such as Microsoft, or other Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings would be beneficial. Having more integration partners would help the users implement the solution."
"The solution could be made more user friendly for the administrator to use the portal. It is difficult to use it for people who are not experienced with Cato Networks."
"They should include a web application firewall feature in the solution."
"The different languages in the user interface should be enhanced."
