"During the POC, Cato improved performance more than 100 percent vs. MPLS."
“With separate MPLS and firewall architecture, all information was available in different locations. It was difficult to correlate the information, which meant that we needed more time to diagnose problems.”
"We found that we could reduce network overhead and eliminate bottlenecks for remote users. By connecting them directly to Cato, we eliminated unnecessary hops across the public Internet core."
“It’s just been huge for Boyd CAT to be able to get everyone in the business more bandwidth and faster, more consistent performance.”
"Cato Networks’ SASE really is a true cloud solution, not a legacy technology which was ‘rebuilt’ to become cloud-enabled."
“With Cato, outages dropped by 90 percent. We’re at 99.99 percent availability going on 100 percent.”
"With Cato, everyone can work at home right away. I don’t have to think about bandwidth and IP ranges. They’re all there, managed by Cato."
“We led with ‘security first’ in our assessment, but conventional SD-WAN solutions sold security as an add-on or required a separate solution."
“Cato offers one, integrated solution with a global backbone including, security, and mobility. What we see nowadays is that everyone looking at SD-WAN looks at security. The two go together. Cato addresses both dimensions in one seamless solution.”
"Hopefully, we would get at least one of the circuits on time. but sometimes it was the backup circuit that arrived first, with the main circuit a few months later. We did not understand why we should sign a new contract when a subcontractor arbitrarily changed its technology.”
"Before Cato, the engineering team was unable to send CAD drawings via a VPN. Cato SDP made it possible. Cato enabled us to keep the lights on during the pandemic.”
“We have a lot of control over the network through the portal. We can layer on security and move forward quickly. It’s great for us as a managed services provider but at the same time it’s great for the customer because it’s something they want and need and now realize they can’t live without.”
“Things were spiraling out of control and the systems just didn’t work together.”
“One of the big benefits of Cato is that you don’t need extremely expensive hardware to build your connections. As a matter of fact, we have even better experience with basic equipment than with very advanced. The Cato software takes care of all intelligence around things like VPNs and firewalls.”
“The performance was good, but we could not always guarantee the needed continuity. Downtime has a big impact on our business and after one time our systems were offline for half a day, we started looking for another solution."
