FAVORABLE

“Simple, reliable and unified SASE solution with Cato SASE Cloud that makes networking and security easy to manage.”

4.0
Mar 24, 2026
Overall, my experience with cato networks, CATO SASE CLOUD has been positive. By integrating networking and security into a single platform, it truly makes things simpler, and the setup was far simpler than I had anticipated. Daily operations are rather easy because of the centralized management and it's backbone has ensured consistent performance. It seems to lack certain significant customization options, especially when compared to other suppliers because everything is cloud-managed, troubleshooting can also be a little challenging. All things considered though, it's a good option if you want speedy rollout and minimal complexity.

Cato SASE Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

The simplicity and cohesiveness of Cato Sase Cloud is what i find most appealing. It eliminates the need for me to manage several tools or providers by combining networking and security into a single platform. One major benefit is the centralized managment, which makes it simple to monitor traffic and enforce regulations from one location. I also value their global backbone's rapid implementation and dependable performance.

Like

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

Like

1) Integrated product suite with a true single pane experience 2) Continually evolving feature set where most enhancements are not for charge additions 3) Cloud based nature of offering means a single ruleset regardless of location or access method

Dislike

The lack of personalization in Cato Sase Cloud is what i find most annoying. At times, it feels a bit restrictive when trying to implement more advanced or specific configurations compared to traditional solutions.

Dislike

It takes too much time to address and resolve reported issues

Dislike

The current approach to logging events relies on a Data Lake service. While you get 2M events/hr for free, you have to pay for a rate above that. So we have about 17M events/hr as we track everything, we had to buy more data blocks, an expense we were not counting on. As architected, Cato does not allow simply sending events to a SIEM, you must by Data Lake space. A minor thing we ran into was shipment of the hardware components into Brazil, which was a slow and expensive (relative to the value of the hardware shipped anyway) process for us.

    Our overall experience with Cato SASE has been very positive. It significantly simplified our network and security operations by replacing multiple point solutions with a single, cloud-native platform that is easy to deploy, centrally managed, and consistent across branches and remote users. The private backbone has delivered stable and predictable performance, and the unified policy model reduces misconfigurations and day-to-day operational overhead.
