I had 20+ years managing Cisco Firewalls/IPS/VPN/etc and one thing I required in a new solution was customization. The ability to fine tune security products to fit the specifics of different environments is critical in my opinion. CATO does require time to learn the system to get the most out of it, but it's no more difficult than Cisco firewalls. > > **Cons**: I'm very happy with CATO. One thing I would like to see in the future is the ability to write custom IPS rules. > > Some of the benefits I noticed migrating from Cisco firewalls / IPS / VPN and Velo SD-WAN to CATO SASE: - My connection to Azure is no longer a somewhat buggy Cisco ASA to Azure, site-to-site VPN, and the remote access VPN users no longer have to tunnel through the main datacenter to get to Azure. Instead with CATO, you can stand up a set of CATO virtual appliances in Azure. The virtual appliances connect out to the CATO cloud, your datacenter, offices and VPN users connect out to the CATO cloud, and all the things talk (if your WAN firewall rules allow). If you need a way to connect into Azure, this is a nice setup. - In the Cisco world, updating a firewall meant looking through several firmware versions, reading the release notes to make sure the firmware is compatible with the IPS and the VPN clients and the ASDM. The process always seemed overly complicated, especially when these systems are mission critical and outage windows are small. With CATO, firmware updates, IPS updates, SSL certs updates, VPN client updates are all done automatically. - The tech support so far has been good to work with. I always seem to have suggestions with any new security product and CATO has been receptive to them. ----- ### "Cato Network Suit, a perfect solution to keep you safe anywhere" — 4.0/5 > **Braian** | *17 September 2024* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy enrollment of users, powerfull VPN, I can work anywhere like I'm in the office, the company can decide wich pages the users can use to avoid phisihng attacks or hacks via ads or unsafe pages > > **Cons**: When the platform has problems it can be a headache, this don't happen a lot, but it leaves users without a network unless they change the wireless network to a wired one. > > The experience has been good overall, we are able to work from anywhere like in the office, keep an eye of who is using the VPN solution, keep unwanted pages at bay to keep the team productivity. ----- ### "Beware Bandwidth Limitations" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *20 July 2021* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to see what devices are accessing what services. Bandwidth management. > > **Cons**: Limited bandwidth allowance for the money. > > Good and responsive, easy to use, but, again, beware bandwidth limitations as set in the licensing. ----- ### "Cato Networks Simply Removed All Concerns we used to have about Network connectivity and reliability" — 5.0/5 > **Gerry** | *20 July 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Deployment was quick and easy. After that we basically ignore it because it just works, all of the time. Problems and outages don’t happen any more. When we want to make a change we can do it quickly and easily and expert support is available 24x7 when we are doing something new and need some help > > **Cons**: There is very little to complain about and nothing major at all. > > This has been one of the very best technology decisions we have ever made. After living with Cato Networks for a few years I can’t imagine switching to another provider ----- ### "Ulbrich's cato" — 5.0/5 > **leonard** | *27 July 2021* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Dashboard, the fluidity of navigating to where you want, the management piece of it, the help section but its mostly self explained to get to where you want to get to as long as you have some basic understanding. Some onboard training helps out as we had and once you use it you are pretty much up and running or use the help section > > **Cons**: Nothing really, it can be intimidating when you 1st see it but its really not. I suggest taking the time to really click through all the options and visualize how the options can protect your network ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/228235/cato-networks-suite?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/228235/cato-networks-suite) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
