Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a very stable solution."
"If you have multiple offices, all inter-connected via the internet, you want a single management console through which you can manage all you firewalls. In that case Barracuda could be a good option."
"Single sign-on is also good. If you are accessing your corporate firewall from your home, during that time there is integration with AD. You can use your AD password to access your SSL VPN. It's not like if you buy an additional SSL VPN... You can directly integrate with your AD. If you change your password on the AD side, your client-to-VPN password also gets changed. You can integrate all your passwords from a single console. It's not like admin has to change your password, it's a single sign-on."
"Single device, multiple functions - I do not need to purchase a web application firewall, a proxy server, a VPN device and so many others because these are all built in to this one device."
"The ability to be deployed and supported remotely is valuable."
"I think Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is one of the most advanced firewall platforms. I also like that it's easy to get top-level support right away. You get that security, and if you make a mistake, it doesn't break."
"The encryption and the security standards are valuable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients."
"Cato offers all the functionality found in other solution. The life cycle management is always very stable."
"The scalability is quite good."
"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 solution is stable."
"The product is very simple, and everything can be done very quickly."
"It is a stable solution...it is a scalable solution."
"We appreciate the optimization and acceleration of the performance of SDP users."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable is the bandwidth aggregation."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"The analytics are weak."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"I am located in South Korea, and I can say that most people here have no idea about Cato Networks. I think Cato Networks should promote its network services in various countries."
"The price could be better."
"There's no principal in Malaysia, only a distributor."
"The product must evolve into the endpoint domain."
"They can't do one-to-one NAT (Network Address Translation) in AP (their access point), and that is something that Palo Alto can do."
"For a packaged solution, needing external intervention or a system integrator to get other features not offered by Cato Networks could be an area for improvement. Cato Networks does what it's meant to do and is even overstretching capabilities when introducing new features. The product can only have very few features added on top of what its currently doing. Managed service providers can deliver the extra features you'd need. It's a set of managed services, and what Cato Networks does is very comprehensive. So, for the time being, when the actual incarnation of the SASE solution is deployed, Cato Networks is a very effective product. Naturally, technology will evolve, so everybody knows that in three, four, or five years, there will be a new kid on the block, a new game. Still, at the moment, Cato Networks only needs to improve a little regarding SASE delivery. The product is doing very well, but one feature the Cato Networks team is doing right is preparing for the future through deploying the SSE 360, so the security service is at that edge. It's an excellent strategy to prepare for the future. SSE 360 is what Cato Networks should invest in the most to keep prospering."
"They should include a web application firewall feature in the solution."
"We would like the product to continue to improve its security."
