Cato SASE Platform vs Cloudflare One

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. The company was founded in 2015 and is based in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Cloudflare One is a SASE platform for connecting and protecting an organization's workforce, AI agents, and infrastructure. It brings together zero trust access, secure web gateway, CASB, network-as-a-service, firewall-as-a-service, remote browser isolation, DLP, email security, and digital experience monitoring. Internal application access uses identity-first controls and granular rules. DNS and HTTP filtering protects remote users and branch offices, while a private global backbone connects offices, clouds, and datacenters. AI controls provide visibility into generative AI usage, identify unsanctioned tools, secure MCP-server connections, and can assess prompt intent to block sensitive data leakage. Email protection addresses phishing, impersonation, malware, and business email compromise. Management is centralized through a dashboard, API, and Terraform provider. The free plan covers up to 50 users and up to 24 hours of standard log retention, with community forums and Discord support. Pay-as-you-go is $7/user/month, with no user limit and up to 30 days of standard log retention. Contract pricing is not listed.
