“Cato Sase cloud makes secure connectivity simple, reliable, and easier to manage for both users and IT Team.”

5.0
Sep 17, 2025
Using Cato Sase Cloud has made our network much simpler and more secure. Instead of managing multiple firewalls, VPN's and security tools. Everything is combined in one platform. Our users are whether in Head office, Branches or remotely connect easily and securely to the DC and Cloud workloads. The performance is stable, thanks to their strong backbone connectivity. and we have good visibility of who is using what. It’s easy to manage from a single unified dashboard, which saves us lots of time, but on the flip side, it still depends a lot on the Cato client for user access, so in some BYOD or guest cases it can be tricky. Overall it has reduced complexity, improved security, and made IT operations life easy for us and our end customers.

Cato SASE Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

The best part is how simple it makes things. You don't need to juggle multiple tools - everything from secure access to monitoring is in one place. It's easy to manage, and users can connect securely from anywhere without much hassle.

Like

Easy to implement and offers strong built-in security features.

Like

What stands out most about Cato SASE Cloud is its seamless combination of networking and security in a single platform. The global cloud backbone ensures fast and reliable connectivity for both branch offices and remote users, while integrated security features like firewalling, IPS, and secure web gateway protect traffic without requiring multiple point solutions. The centralized management console is intuitive, making policy creation, monitoring, and reporting straightforward, which greatly reduces operational complexity and administrative overhead. Overall, it feels like a modern, all-in-one solution that scales easily as the organization grows.

Dislike

Sometimes it feels too dependent on the client app, and if that has an issue, users may get stuck. Also, in places with weak internet, users are facing connectivity issues to connect to the Cato client due to which the experience for the users may slow down and it's frustrating for end users.

Dislike

It takes too much time to address and resolve reported issues

Dislike

While the platform is very streamlined, that simplicity can sometimes come at the cost of flexibility. certain advanced or niche configurations aren't as customizable as traditional solutions, and deeper troubleshooting often depends on the cloud console rather than hands-on control.

    Excellent product focus on business functions for customer satisfaction is needed

    Cato has a solid product which delivers what it promises but it depends on your expertise in networking to know how to deploy the solution. Your organization needs a solid project management plan and clear communication before beginning the conversation with the Cato sales team. Having a single-vendor SASE solution simplifies many of the deployment variables, I can't imagine a world before a single-vendor SASE offering like Cato.

    Cato’s SASE Platform: Operational Simplicity Paired with Bandwidth Licensing Drawbacks

    5.0
    Feb 17, 2026
    In my view, Cato is one of the vendors that truly understands the SASE paradigm and translates it into a practical, well engineered solution rather than just a marketing concept. What I particularly appreciate is the overall ease of use. The platform feels consistent and thoughtfully designed, both from an operational and architectural perspective. The centralized management interface is intuitive, policies are structured in a logical way, and day to day administration does not feel unnecessarily complex. Deployment is straightforward, and the integration of networking and security functions into a single cloud native platform significantly reduces operational overhead. Instead of stitching together multiple products, everything works cohesively within one framework, which simplifies troubleshooting and ongoing maintenance. Overall, I see Cato as a mature SASE implementation that balances strong security capabilities with usability and operational efficiency.
