We performed a comparison between Cato SASE Cloud Platform and ThreatLocker Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ZTNA solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The visibility control and security aspects are amazing."
"The WAN aggregation feature is the most valuable."
"The product is efficient and easy to use."
"When I first encountered Cato, I didn't know how to use it, but after a week of training, I could onboard our systems to it, so the solution was easy to learn and navigate."
"I haven't had any trouble, and practically forget that I'm using it."
"We appreciate the optimization and acceleration of the performance of SDP users."
"It's a cloud-based solution that integrates well with everything."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable is the bandwidth aggregation."
"The great thing is that if you get a malicious email and you try to run something, ThreatLocker is not going to let it do anything. It is not going to let anything infect your network."
"Every single feature has been invaluable."
"We use ThreatLocker's Allowlisting to whitelist specific applications and prevent unauthorized software from running."
"While it can be frustrating at times, we appreciate the low-level security provided by the application whitelist."
"The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective."
"Using ThreatLocker is effortless because I can access it from an app on my phone, so I can help clients after hours. My client had an issue while I was at dinner, and I didn't have a tech on the problem, but I could deal with it from my phone. I can see what the client is doing and approve or deny it. It helps me deliver better service to my clients when they need it."
"The most valuable feature is selective elevation, which allows elevating an individual process to admin privilege without granting admin privilege to that user, which has been by far the most useful feature outside of the overall solution itself."
"They should add more sophisticated security features. It should also be integrated into the cloud."
"Cato Networks could improve their intrusion detection. There is not a lot in place."
"The product must evolve into the endpoint domain."
"The product may be complex for users with few years of experience."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
"The different languages in the user interface should be enhanced."
"The tool needs to be more granular. Its reports are not very in-depth."
"From a reporting perspective, enhancing the ability to customize reports would be beneficial."
"Adding applications to the allowlist can sometimes feel overwhelming."
"If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out."
"We identified several areas that we would like to see improved."
"There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."
"One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system."
"ThreatLocker could offer more flexible training, like online or offline classes after hours. The fact that they even provide weekly training makes it seem silly to suggest, but some people can't do it during the day, so they want to train after work. They could also start a podcast about issues they see frequently and what requires attention. A podcast would be helpful to keep us all apprised about what's going on and/or offline training for those people who can't train during the week."
"The snapshots used in the ThreatLocker University portal are outdated snippets and have not been updated in conjunction with the portal itself."
