We performed a comparison between Cato SASE Cloud Platform and Darktrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Zscaler and others in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)."The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"Cato offers all the functionality found in other solution. The life cycle management is always very stable."
"It is a stable solution...it is a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The scalability is quite good."
"The solution is a simple WAN solution. We've onboarded the socket on the Cato platform, and it provides connectivity. There is no complex routing."
"The query and the SD-WAN are useful features of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it also works as a next-gen firewall because it has security features."
"We appreciate the optimization and acceleration of the performance of SDP users."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"The most valuable feature has been the behavioral analytics that allows us to monitor all the traffic."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"The NDR is good in their solution and they have NTG for email."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"Modifying or incorporating Cato Network to work with a third-party platform, such as Microsoft, or other Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings would be beneficial. Having more integration partners would help the users implement the solution."
"Web application firewalling (WAF) is a feature we would like to have in this solution and does not exist yet."
"I would like to see better integration with identity providers."
"We would like the product to continue to improve its security."
"The different languages in the user interface should be enhanced."
"They should add more sophisticated security features. It should also be integrated into the cloud."
"I am located in South Korea, and I can say that most people here have no idea about Cato Networks. I think Cato Networks should promote its network services in various countries."
"The product may be complex for users with few years of experience."
"We'd like threat hunting, and we'd like to see a global solution that can automate vulnerability scans. I know it is something they are working on."
"One thing that I would like to look at going forward is to have a fully automated network infrastructure that is monitored automatically real-time, and that gives me this kind of capability where I would be able to look at my network at any given time and see the state of my network. With Darktrace, at the moment, I have to almost put in a date and tell them that want you to give me data from this date to this date. I don't want that. I want a fast solution in which it doesn't matter when I log into the application. Whenever I log in, I must be able to see my network and run a report. In other words, if I go in now and I say, "Give me a full report of what happened today, it must be able to give me that. It mustn't just be limited to a seven-day period, for argument's sake. It must be able to give me real-time and day-to-day tracking of what has happened within my network."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"The solution can improve the reporting."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
