not found anything yet - if i have to be really picky, the fan on the x1500 could be a bit quieter but that really isnt an issue if you have it installed in a comms room

Amazing

Connectivity of different branches into one network, benefits its to centralized monitoring for all network branches.

PoC Results

Relatively easy to use, on paper. Easy to set up if all goes well.

Initial connection failed and needed troubleshooting.

Sockets unwilling to upgrade from 2.14

Fast implementation of backup connectivity using 4G
Great user Interface
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very friendly. Easy to setup VPN for users
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor network issues that I need to resolve. Most likely on my end. Only been using for a couple weeks hard to review
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved vpn issues across multiple sites. VPN is very easy to use. I just started using this a couple weeks ago hard to give a fair review
Great product, Great team
What do you like best about the product?
The support. The team is excellent. They know their business and want to see you succeed. Their response time on issues in excellent. Also the core system is much easier to administer than having separate firewall/VPN on each site.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. They are a startup still (though the product is definitely stable), but from time to time you'll find a feature still missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We brought 5 offices and 80+ VPN users under one SD-WAN with unified administration. And with Cato we were able to use standard business internet, 10X the download/upload speeds over our MPLS for a lower cost. We also opted for the network level anti-virus and TLS-inspection
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Talk to the team about your intended implementation. They are a fast growing company, so are still seeing new use cases. Your case will get put to the core engineers if they haven't seen it before.
Migrating from hardware to the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to manage all the offices and users in single interface, and being able to turn on a new rule and have it roll out immediately has been great. It;s also a relief to not to have to wait for a reminder email or check the firewall to see if there is an update that needs to be installed; it gets done automatically while I sleep.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have been having to contact the support team any time a new version is available so that we can get an MSI version to push out via IT tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a fairly distributed employee base where many of them are never in a corporate office. They are now full-time VPN users which means that their computers talk to the domain and now fully participate in corporate policies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a large firewall deployment with a centralized management, this product may not provide as much additional functionality as smaller shops who don't currently have a centralized admin portal
Love it
What do you like best about the product?
Fully managed IT security services out of the box!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some issues with routing us out of POPs in EU from time to time. Causes all kinds of problems with web traffic when google suddenly thinks you are in Germany.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a distributed team but still need very high levels of internal IT controls. Cato is a perfect fit for us.
Very promising product and services for easy-to-use Network Security and Firewall as a Service
What do you like best about the product?
How easy is to configure CATO networks Firewall As A Service and its security features to be applied to the company internet infrastructure. The Management interface design is very understandable and easy to navigate. One more think to like most is the easy way to connect the various branches with each other through the CATO Networks Infrastructure using Centralized VPNs. Last but not least, it supports user-based VPN for remote access to the various company's locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have more options on controlling the Services provided through CATO Networks and also the parameters of the Socket appliance. Moreover, we would like to be able to integrate all the logs from the service to our syslog/SIEM solution but unfortunately there is no integration with syslog to send the logs to. Moreover there should be support for more Operating Systems for the user VPN client functionality and there is no easy way to download the VPN client.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security as a Service with Cloud-based centralized Firewall / security features that can be applied to multiple locations (branches). Also it resolves with easy way problems with site-to-site VPNs due to the ease of setup of centralized VPN topology. Moreover, the analytics section covers an overview of the security features offered by the service.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should evaluate the product first in order to see if it really meets your business needs. This may be a very good opportunity for Businesses that need a quick and easy solution for their branches.
