Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service is a paid platform that combines networking, security, observability, multi-cloud, SaaS, AI, GenAI, and application performance. Its OnePASS architecture examines each packet once while applying networking, security, and distributed policy processing.

Universal ZTNA provides application access from anywhere. Delivery can be self-managed, co-managed, or Aryaka-managed, with hybrid deployments and third-party security integrations. The service supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and web. Aryaka targets branches, stores, service centers, data centers, and remote users. Each remote user may connect up to three endpoint devices. Pricing is on request and there is no free plan.

Cato SASE Platform brings networking, security, and access into a cloud-native platform managed through a shared policy engine and console. Its network provides global connectivity, segmentation, and multi-cloud access over a cloud-native backbone. Security features use single-pass inspection and shared policy, and include firewall-as-a-service, secure web gateway, intrusion and malware prevention, DNS security, and remote browser isolation. Other listed capabilities include SD-WAN, CASB, DLP, XDR, endpoint protection, digital experience monitoring, and a platform API. Users can reach private applications through a ZTNA client, Enterprise Browser, or clientless portal; browser access can also reach hosted applications and RDP or SSH resources without installing the client. Cato lists 100 integrations across areas such as authentication, asset management, EDR, ITSM, SaaS security, and SIEM, though some require a separate license. The Cato Client supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, subject to operating-system and client-version support. Pricing is available on request.
