In terms of security, we are planning to deploy more features and our current usage is primarily focused on branch networking. I rate the tool a nine out of ten. I rate the product a nine out of ten. I haven't faced any issues with the tool's documentation.

Cato Networks is a product for those who want their enterprise network service to provide them with SASE and some features similar to SD-WAN. The interface of Cato Networks is good. I am not sure of the solution's integration capabilities with the third-party tools. Cato Networks helps with the integration part of the ticketing system in our company. It is very helpful to identify issues and manage the process of troubleshooting. The documentation that Cato Networks provides is good. I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

We don't have any clients. We're a new partner. People wanting to use the solution must forget about their current architecture and take a step back. Cato Networks is one of the best platforms that I work with. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I rate the solution nine out of ten. If we require remote site deployment, for example, if we have applications sitting in an on-premise data center, there are two ways of doing that. We need an IPsec channel going from the data center to Cato Cloud, and the first way of doing that is using the existing network component, either router or fiber, as long as they have IPsec. Second, we can use Cato Network's sockets if we want visibility, packet loss monitoring, the SD-WAN component, etc. Cato Networks is an excellent solution in the retail sector, especially for companies with multiple sites or international branches, like Jollibee. The product is less applicable for a telco because it can conflict with the consumer-facing side of the operation. Cato can accommodate VPNs with a remote access solution, and SD-WAN is necessary, allowing business to connect their international sites using the solution as the platform.

We have six environments and we integrate them with the directory services of Microsoft Azure. Authentication of credentials is done automatically, including for new employees. Maintenance is also done automatically. This solution is very easy to implement and is very intuitive. When we do demos with our clients, they say, "Wow, is it that easy?" Cato offer a full package that can cover online, offline and whatever the customer needs. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

It is worth looking at for a small to medium size environment, but it has got to fit your situation. We don't use it for what it was really made to do. It just has one feature that affects us, so we use it for that. In all honesty, it is not something that we are really using to its full potential. I would rate Cato Networks an eight out of ten. It is fairly new, so there are some things that it should do, and they're working on it.

My advice for anybody who is looking into Cato is to consider their environment. If they have a scenario where it is 80% cloud-based and 20% internal traffic, then Cato is a good choice. If on the other hand, they have internal applications with a data center then other solutions may make more sense. For us, since we are fully cloud-based, it is a better choice. In summary, it is easy to implement and easy to manage. That said, there are always ways to improve. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

It's a cloud solution. It has local hardware, but it's a could solution. If it's a good use case for you, then it's a good solution. Cato Networks seems to do everything we wanted it to do. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

If you really want to have a solution that has an easy deployment and provides SD-WAN and firewall abilities, go with Cato Networks. I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because they don't offer a VPN for the firewall. They should add more sophisticated security features. It should also be integrated into the cloud.
