We performed a comparison between Cato SASE Cloud Platform and Netskope Next Gen Secure Web Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"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 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."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Cato Networks is the CASB and the documentation is useful."
"Cato offers all the functionality found in other solution. The life cycle management is always very stable."
"The product is very simple, and everything can be done very quickly."
"The query and the SD-WAN are useful features of the solution."
"The product is efficient and easy to use."
"We appreciate the optimization and acceleration of the performance of SDP users."
"I haven't had any trouble, and practically forget that I'm using it."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable is the bandwidth aggregation."
"The solution's CASB, DLP, and threat protection features are very good."
"As Netskope is a cloud-based application, it is possible to analyze and distinguish personal and enterprise instances."
"Web filtering and DLP are good features."
"Overall, the product is nice, and I like the URL filtering, CASB, and other security stacks like threat prevention."
"There are a lot of features, but the groups that are created for the policy groups available with Netskope are already relevant to any industry. So grouping the policies is the easiest part and a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its three modules, which are SWG, ZTNA, and CASB."
"The solution offers good security functionality."
"We can connect cloud apps and monitor them."
"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."
"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"
"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 product may be complex for users with few years of experience."
"There's no principal in Malaysia, only a distributor."
"The product must evolve into the endpoint domain."
"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."
"The solution is not cheap."
"They can't do one-to-one NAT (Network Address Translation) in AP (their access point), and that is something that Palo Alto can do."
"I would like to see better integration with identity providers."
"The price could be better."
"The solution lacks a good reporting feature."
"Since they have the Netskope client, adding some functionality in the endpoint would be good."
"They should work on marketing material to put out their work with a little more effort."
"The initial setup is a bit complex in that it takes a lot of time. In order to get the product to work as you need it to, there is a lot of configuration required."
"The solution could improve the features for Zero Trust Network Access. They should add more security components to that module."
"Netskope Next Gen Secure Web Gateway needs to integrate IoT, which can help to control devices."
"The stability of the solution to be very good. It is not the best and could improve but it is better than other solutions, such as Forcepoint."
"Netskope can only provide the high level related to threats."
