Some issues with routing us out of POPs in EU from time to time. Causes all kinds of problems with web traffic when google suddenly thinks you are in Germany.

Very promising product and services for easy-to-use Network Security and Firewall as a Service
What do you like best about the product?
How easy is to configure CATO networks Firewall As A Service and its security features to be applied to the company internet infrastructure. The Management interface design is very understandable and easy to navigate. One more think to like most is the easy way to connect the various branches with each other through the CATO Networks Infrastructure using Centralized VPNs. Last but not least, it supports user-based VPN for remote access to the various company's locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have more options on controlling the Services provided through CATO Networks and also the parameters of the Socket appliance. Moreover, we would like to be able to integrate all the logs from the service to our syslog/SIEM solution but unfortunately there is no integration with syslog to send the logs to. Moreover there should be support for more Operating Systems for the user VPN client functionality and there is no easy way to download the VPN client.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security as a Service with Cloud-based centralized Firewall / security features that can be applied to multiple locations (branches). Also it resolves with easy way problems with site-to-site VPNs due to the ease of setup of centralized VPN topology. Moreover, the analytics section covers an overview of the security features offered by the service.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I Wholeheartedly Recommend as a very good solution to multi cloud and multi region organisation.
Happy with my experience.
What do you like best about the product?
Automatic firewall security updates, no end of life hardware notifications to buy expensive new equipment or I would no longer receive firewall updates. Ease of use, specifically with VPN's to remote sites.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see filtering at the user or individual machine level instead of site level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The uptime between remote sites has improved greatly. Set up time adding new sites is much faster and very easy. I feel more comfortable with my security level at all of my remote sites, because I would sometimes not pay the expensive annual fee and stop receiving updates to the firewall on my old device. I also have a much better view of what is going on at all of my sites on the dashboard, which has helped more than once finding trouble with my Internet providers.
