really bad from the commercial side to the support.
On the commercial side, it was impossible to have help for a license issue.
The support decided to stop answering and totally ignored the issue for days

Overall, we've had a positive experience with Cato NMS. a major benefit has been being able to manage everything through a single platform. which made day to day work much easier than in our previous setup. the service has also been stable and the visibilty into traffic has been very helpful. if i had to point out one area for improvement, it would be that some advanced troubleshooting still relies on support, and there is a bit of a learning curve when you're first getting familiar with all the available features. They also have to make the article is updated so we can troubleshoot on our end before creating a support ticket.
