I'd rate Cato SASE Cloud Platform's pricing as about five or six out of ten. It's not the cheapest solution, but it is cheaper than Palo Alto and even VeloCloud. We've been working with them for a while and have significant discounts. Our licensing costs vary because we keep adding sites, but it's about 280 per month per site. This includes additional features beyond the base product, starting at around 200.

The solution is reasonably priced since Cato Networks provides features like SASE and monitoring, which I am very happy with currently. The licensing costs of the solution are reasonable since, in our company, we just use the solution's service and don't need Cato Networks for many hours to operate.
The solution's pricing is flexible. The customers can pay as per their requirements. Although, it is more expensive than Palo Alto and Fortinet products.
The price is good if you will compare it against other SASE, computing the TCO is good, in my experience. It may look expensive in some scenarios if a customer tries to compare it to traditional SDWANs vs a full Cloud SASE. Because SDWANÂ is just a portion of the SASE. Once you see other features than SDWAN you will see a great difference. Also, the support is good and worth every penny.
I have compared the pricing against other solutions and found it to be very reasonable. I'd rate the cost, in terms of affordability, eight out of ten.
The product is very competitively priced, and that's compelling. They don't charge the customer based on the operational cost like other brands such as Palo Alto. Cato has its own fully-fledged cloud, with their own data centers, equipment, and so on, which is an advantage. I rate the solution five out of five for affordability.
The pricing of this solution depends on what you need. It is based on bandwidth. You can opt for between 10 megabits to 10 gigabits per month, as well as select virtual sockets or physical sockets. A virtual socket is X1500 and can be extended to 500 megabits. Using these, you can have different levels of security.
You pay yearly based on the speed of your network. If you increase the speed of your network, you increase the cost for your throughput. It is by bandwidth for the most part and then licenses for VPN. There is some per-seat licensing for VPN access, but the majority of it is minimal. It is like $30 a year per client. The rest is based on how much bandwidth you'll use. You pay for that upfront for the year, and if you have to increase it, you increase it, and then they let you send more data through. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

If you compare with VeloCloud, the price is the same or even cheaper. Also, they include all of the security features, unlike VeloCloud.
The price is not an issue for us, as it is priced more competitively than some other vendors.
