We compared Cato Networks and JumpCloud across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Cato Networks has a simple and efficient setup process, with useful features like always-on VPN and web filtering. However, it lacks advanced security measures and networking features, and its user interface is only available in English. On the other hand, JumpCloud's setup process can be more complicated but flexible, and it excels in remote device management and single sign-on capabilities. However, it needs improvements in areas like alerts and device control. In terms of pricing, Cato Networks is considered reasonable, while JumpCloud offers competitive pricing. Both products have received positive feedback for their customer service and support.
"The scalability is quite good."
"The WAN aggregation feature is the most valuable."
"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."
"I haven't had any trouble, and practically forget that I'm using it."
"It's a cloud-based solution that integrates well with everything."
"Cato offers all the functionality found in other solution. The life cycle management is always very stable."
"It's a pretty straightforward solution."
"It is quite simple and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of JumpCloud, it provides a convenient and streamlined solution for me to access and manage all of the features I require in one centralized location. This eliminates the need for me to worry about hiring individuals to manage these tasks, as well as eliminating concerns surrounding hardware, updates, and licenses. With JumpCloud, I am able to receive the services I need in a timely and efficient manner, which has significantly reduced my stress and alleviated a great deal of the issues I once faced. This is especially important as I am often bound by laws, regulations, contracts, and customer demands to keep up with various tasks. With JumpCloud, I am able to manage everything I need in one place, giving me visibility and control over aspects that I previously had to manage through multiple systems."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"After deploying to the cloud, we had remote device management on all of our corporate laptops."
"Ability to integrate all applications."
"Azure Cloud services are on time and run well and if we use a JumpCloud, the benefits we receive are the ease of management and the solution is completely user-friendly. End users can do identity management easily."
"The interface is clean and user-friendly. Setting up new devices or setting up new users inside the system is easy. Also, it integrates with Office 365, which is pretty much a must for our organization."
"The whole product is great. The device management is amazing. The fact that you can basically set up an entire machine without having the machine in front of you is most valuable."
"The solution could be made more user friendly for the administrator to use the portal. It is difficult to use it for people who are not experienced with Cato Networks."
"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."
"Cato Networks could improve their intrusion detection. There is not a lot in place."
"The product may be complex for users with few years of experience."
"They should add more sophisticated security features. It should also be integrated into the cloud."
"For a packaged solution, needing external intervention or a system integrator to get other features not offered by Cato Networks could be an area for improvement. Cato Networks does what it's meant to do and is even overstretching capabilities when introducing new features. The product can only have very few features added on top of what its currently doing. Managed service providers can deliver the extra features you'd need. It's a set of managed services, and what Cato Networks does is very comprehensive. So, for the time being, when the actual incarnation of the SASE solution is deployed, Cato Networks is a very effective product. Naturally, technology will evolve, so everybody knows that in three, four, or five years, there will be a new kid on the block, a new game. Still, at the moment, Cato Networks only needs to improve a little regarding SASE delivery. The product is doing very well, but one feature the Cato Networks team is doing right is preparing for the future through deploying the SSE 360, so the security service is at that edge. It's an excellent strategy to prepare for the future. SSE 360 is what Cato Networks should invest in the most to keep prospering."
"There's no principal in Malaysia, only a distributor."
"We would like the product to continue to improve its security."
"For improvement, the tool should introduce more customization options."
"There are a few aspects that could be improved. Their API was a little spotty when I last used it, and some of those use cases were around removing systems from our environment."
"I would like to see some support for printers, especially network printers, through the application."
"JumpCloud can improve in its synchronization of identities. More specifically, groups with Office 365. They've been working on it, but it's not where I would necessarily like it to be."
"JumpCloud could improve the compatibility with other devices and operating systems. For example, the solution only works well with Mac and some Linux devices. It does not work for mobile devices, such as Android."
"The product needs to create its own self-service feature which has been requested by all the admins in the community."
"JumpCloud could improve the user interface. While it has certainly come a long way, there is still room for improvement in terms of simplifying and making it more intuitive for the user. In my opinion, the UI/UE could benefit from some modifications to enhance the overall user experience. I have suggested some changes to JumpCloud regarding this matter as I believe that they have the potential to further enhance the platform and make it even more user-friendly. There are certain small features within the system that users may not be familiar with, as they may have previously used different systems with different user interfaces."
"The visual tool and interface must be more fine-tuned."
