Cato Networks commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic impact (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying CatoNetworks’ Cato SASE Cloud.1 The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Cato on their organizations.
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed five decision-makers whose organizations are Cato customers. For the purposes of this study, Forrester aggregated the interviewees’ experiences and combined the results into a single composite organization.
Prior to using Cato, the interviewees noted how their organizations struggled with managing security and network services, with dedicated teams for VPN, internet, WAN, etc. Managing those systems was time-consuming and costly, requiring individually managed updates at each site on the network.
After the investment in Cato, the interviewees managed the unified enterprisewide network and security oversight from a single dashboard. Key results from the investment include reduced costs associated with maintenance allowing resources to be redirected to more value-adding activities such as system optimization, faster deployment of new sites and onboarding of new acquisitions, and reduced costs from retiring legacy systems.
