What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Companies wanting networking and security as one service
Cato earns its place because the network itself is part of the service, so traffic between your sites runs over its own backbone, not only the public internet. That fits mid-market and enterprise companies that want to replace both their WAN and their security stack in one move. If you plan to keep your current WAN contracts, ask how much of the value remains.
