What do you dislike about the product?
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
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing mpls circuits, simplyfying support, reducing overall cost of ownership
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! you can implement cato without disrupting your existing network so what have you got to lose?
Amazing
What do you like best about the product?
The security and SD Wan is more needed when you have a different branches so you can monitored them easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bugs on cato socket, many of our branches experienced a no power in the port of cato socket specially in all ports.

Connectivity of different branches into one network, benefits its to centralized monitoring for all network branches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes Definitely.
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
