What differentiates Cato Edge SD-WAN from other similar products?

What diferentiates Cato from other similar products is it´s POP´s. They have a very robust service backbone. In case any link goes down, it redirects you to the next closest POP, seamlessly.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect is, the "single pane of glass" view. You don´t have to log in to different accounts to view your network. It can all be donw from a single screen.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Like every product available, there is always room for improvment, but there is not much to dislike. It functions very well.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Give it a test run. Cato offers you a tour of the product before you agree to adopt and you will be able to see for yourself if the service Cato provides is a fit for your organization. So just set some time aside and go through their demo. You have nothing to lose.
