This has allowed us to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase security in the network infrastructure. This is what I like about this tool. > > **Cons**: During the implementation of Cato Networks Suite, you may experience conflicts with third-party VPNs, antivirus software blocks, firewall issues, and installation errors. However, these issues can be resolved by adjusting the configuration and following the best practices recommended by Cato Networks. ----- ### "usefull worldwide carrier" — 4.0/5 > **Ilario** | *16 February 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to use and mantain access everywhere very stable > > **Cons**: overall price, socket HW not always performing as expected > > A very easy to use and stable link, with plenty of services supplied; we need a carrier in a difficult region and CATO was the best solution in terms of bandwith, services, compliancy and time to deliver. ----- ### "Cato Network Suit, a perfect solution to keep you safe anywhere" — 4.0/5 > **Braian** | *17 September 2024* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy enrollment of users, powerfull VPN, I can work anywhere like I'm in the office, the company can decide wich pages the users can use to avoid phisihng attacks or hacks via ads or unsafe pages > > **Cons**: When the platform has problems it can be a headache, this don't happen a lot, but it leaves users without a network unless they change the wireless network to a wired one. > > The experience has been good overall, we are able to work from anywhere like in the office, keep an eye of who is using the VPN solution, keep unwanted pages at bay to keep the team productivity. ----- ### "CATO -A networking Solution that works" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 July 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Security - CATO VPN guarantees a secure connection when accessing client platforms 2. Single Sign On Feature saves a lot of login time (available for Windows, Google, etc) 3. CATO VPN is really fast and reliable compared to its competitors out there 4. They have an awesome support team. Always ready for feature requests. > > **Cons**: 1. The GUI can feel a bit cluttered.

It makes the whole experience of using a VPN memorable. ----- ### "beware of cancelation policy they do not allow this to be done even if its their fault" — 1.0/5 > **michael** | *23 July 2021* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy deployment and simple admin panel to learn. > > **Cons**: you will have a weekly maintenance downtime of about 15 mins. they do update the software which is a good thing, but you will be down for that said period weekly which is a pain for operations who require 24/7. > > i was not happy with the service. their NOC always has a downtime (for philippines, not sure with other countries) at least once a month there is some sort of network issue when connecting with their NOC aside from the weekly downtime mentioned for maintenance issues. this is a SD wan product, so if thier side is down then you will be down as well even if you have multiple internet connections. defeats the purpose of redundancy. though you can switch from one of their NOCs to another NOC, the switching itself is a downtime and has to be manually done. when i decided to cancel my 5 year contract because of said issues, they are insisting i pay in full for the 3 years of service despite the fact that they violated SLA due to numerous downtimes etc. not happy at all and im still stuck now trying to figure out what to do with this pending bill they insist i should pay despite me cancelling. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/173809/cato-networks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/173809/cato-networks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
