“Cato is a solution that is mostly there but not perfect”

3.0

Jun 9, 2021

Cato ticks multiple boxes as a solution, with the security aspect being nice. Support is responsive but I wish I didn't have to contact them so often. There have been issues with the Cato VPN client disconnecting, issues with PoP traffic routing, issues with PoP machines being overloaded. I expect a product to work and not cause more work for supporting it. In that area Cato has disappointed.
