We performed a comparison between Cato SASE Cloud Platform and Fortinet FortiWeb based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Zscaler and others in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)."The solution is stable."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"The solution is stable."
"Cato offers all the functionality found in other solution. The life cycle management is always very stable."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable is the bandwidth aggregation."
"The solution is a simple WAN solution. We've onboarded the socket on the Cato platform, and it provides connectivity. There is no complex routing."
"It's a cloud-based solution that integrates well with everything."
"The query and the SD-WAN are useful features of the solution."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it also works as a next-gen firewall because it has security features."
"The policies and the filtering are the most valuable features, especially traffic, URL, and application filtering. The solution is excellent at detecting vulnerabilities."
"It's easy to use and allows us to integrate solutions together."
"It helps us prevent attacks on servers."
"The WAF profiles has been effective at mitigating web-based threats."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
"It can scale well."
"We were able to protect our web servers from outside attacks."
"FortiGate is a stable product."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"The different languages in the user interface should be enhanced."
"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."
"A little tweaking or improvement of the UI in terms of logging when troubleshooting would be an improvement because it's very detailed."
"The solution is not cheap."
"There's no principal in Malaysia, only a distributor."
"Cato Networks security could be better."
"Cato Networks could improve their intrusion detection. There is not a lot in place."
"The tool needs to be more granular. Its reports are not very in-depth."
"The Layer 7 DDoS attacks need improvement, it could be better."
"The product's scalability could be better."
"We would like to know more about the integration with the hardware or security products, such as Gemalto, because we need to move to that point."
"I would like to see more improvements with respect to threat intelligence."
"We would like the interface to be easier to use and more user-friendly. The interface needs to be enhanced."
"I would like to see the Application Delivery Control (ADC) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) combined in one device."
"It can be better with web application firewalls."
"The initial setup process could be improved."
