4.5
Overview
Cato SASE Cloud optimally connects all enterprise network resources, including branch locations, the hybrid workforce, and physical and cloud datacenters, into a global and secure, cloud-native service. Cato SASE Cloud uses its cloud-native security service edge, Cato SSE 360, to fully enforce granular corporate access policies on all applications, on-premises and in the cloud, protecting users against threats, and preventing sensitive data loss.
Built on a global private backbone of 80+ Points of Presence (PoPs), Cato SASE Cloud enables predictable and optimized global connectivity between all enterprise resources. Cato Edge SD-WAN extends the Cato SASE Cloud to provide prioritized and resilient connectivity over multiple last mile links in physical locations. Cato SDP Client and Clientless access enable secure and optimized application access for users everywhere.
Cato SSE 360 converges the following capabilities: Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) with Advanced Threat Prevention (IPS and Next Generation Anti-Malware). Built on Cato Single Pass Cloud Engine architecture, all capabilities leverage the scalability, resiliency, global footprint, and self-maintenance of the Cato SASE Cloud to deliver the highest level of security to all enterprise resources everywhere.
Highlights
- Gradually migrate to the cloud with seamless integration of physical and cloud datacenters, and public cloud apps by plugging all datacenter edges into the Cato SASE Cloud and using smart egress to move traffic close to the cloud datacenters and the public cloud applications. With Cato, customers can complement premium cloud connectivity solutions like AWS DirectConnect.
- Migrate legacy MPLS and network security appliances to a modern cloud-native architecture to improve agility, cut costs, and boost capacity using Cato SD-WAN, Internet last-mile, and end-to-end network optimization. Improve performance between global locations by using the Cato Networks affordable, global, private backbone vs the unpredictable Internet or costly global MPLS.
- Leverage a future-proof platform that is self-maintaining, self-evolving and self-healing without the need to manually patch, upgrade, or replace point solutions.

Cloud security has unified global network design and has simplified threat visibility
Reviewed on Feb 05, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I can see that I am a consultant at a reseller and I am the architect of Cato SASE Cloud Platform designs. In the baseline, I usually recommend Cato SASE Cloud Platform for international companies that have many different setups spread globally.
What is most valuable?
I think all of the functionalities, such as the secure web gateway feature, are quite good. I also believe Cato SASE Cloud Platform is one of the only solutions that has not only a software firewall solution but also a physical software solution where you can change the company's firewalls and put in sockets from Cato SASE Cloud Platform, which I see as an advantage for them.
The single-pass architecture has improved user experience with Cato SASE Cloud Platform as it provides security teams in companies a platform where they can easily obtain information if there are breaches or security issues.
I assess the benefit of integrating WAN optimization as good. There is ease in making rules between WAN optimization, especially when it comes to global connections because of all their points of presence that are spread over the world.
I think the real-time threat protection of Cato SASE Cloud Platform is also good. Their points of presence are quite efficient, and I do not see any delays in that area.
What needs improvement?
To improve Cato SASE Cloud Platform, I think they sometimes need more built-in features for security in larger networks when doing local authentication, as they currently leave that to other vendors.
I would have preferred to see more LT 5G connection built into their sockets in the future, which is coming up now and I think that is positive.
For how long have I used the solution?
I am quite familiar with Cato SASE Cloud Platform networks and I have been working with Cato SASE Cloud Platform for two to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I find Cato SASE Cloud Platform overall stable.
How are customer service and support?
I think the technical support by Cato SASE Cloud Platform is quite good and I would rate their performance an eight out of ten for that area.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I do not find it particularly expensive, but for some companies, they may not have the budget to be at that level of security for their networks.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
If Cato SASE Cloud Platform does not fit the budget, I usually recommend a more on-site solution, such as FortiGate firewalls, or if they would prefer a cloud solution, I would suggest a full Meraki solution with MX Gateways from Meraki.
What other advice do I have?
It is difficult to find types of companies I would not recommend Cato SASE Cloud Platform to, and I believe you can use Cato SASE Cloud Platform in most environments, although there could be some cases where organizations are really cost-sensitive.
I measure the effectiveness of Cato SASE Cloud Platform using metrics such as milliseconds for connections and bandwidth, comparing it with its efficiency to see if it delivers on their bandwidth choices.
I believe that the centralized cloud-native management helps with policy configuration by allowing users to build their own environment without many issues, which is key to going cloud-based. I would rate this review an overall eight out of ten.

User-Friendly SASE with Exceptional Network Segmentation
Reviewed on Jul 02, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Cato SASE Cloud is the centralized, all-in-one platform that seamlessly combines SD‑WAN, firewall, SWG, CASB, and ZTNA services under a single pane of glass. Deployment and onboarding are fast—spinning up new sites takes under an hour—and day-to-day management is far simpler compared to juggling multiple tools separate interfaces and licenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cato lacks certain advanced tools such as remote browser isolation, network sandboxing, and full DLP support.It also doesn't include a web application firewall (WAF) and could enhance intrusion detection (IDS/IPS) capabilities.The platform is often described as feature-limited compared to larger vendor suites.Throughput may be slower depending on the connection quality or distance from a PoP, leading to bottlenecks .he licensing model—based on bandwidth tiers—can be complex or cost-prohibitive, especially for smaller organizations.,Migrating from legacy/point solutions (e.g. on-prem firewalls, appliances) requires planning and operational change .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditional setups require separate tools—SD‑WAN, VPNs, firewalls, secure web gateways—each managed separately. Cato consolidates everything into a single cloud-native platform, eliminating “swivel-chair IT troubleshooting” and simplifying overall infrastructure management.Legacy WANs often experience latency and packet loss, and MPLS is expensive. Cato’s global private backbone delivers low latency, reliable performance, and redundancy, enabling fast site-to-site connectivity and internet access.Disparate security appliances often lack deep inspection and uniform policy enforcement. Cato integrates NGFW, IPS, SWG, CASB, anti-malware, and ransomware protection in a single-pass inspection model for consistent enforcement everywhere
