ARM version?

Most of Cato's competitors now have native ARM versions of their VPN clients - but for Cato it's not even on the roadmap? I suppose the X64 version will not run in emulation mode on a Snapdragon base...

Hi JM, 

Currently, ARM support is not explicitly mentioned on the documentation.
Is there certain devices that you would require Cato Client to be supported on?
Do reach out to your assigned Cato Representative to discuss further. I believe a Feature Enhancement (RFE) may be required.

Cheers JM

as a datapoint, we are using some Microsoft Laptops with snapdragon that I was wondering why the Cato Client wasn't being installed by the RMM.

    Hi WPAjack,

    Would you share the laptop and snapdragon model to reference?
    Alternatively, would you consider Cato Browser Access as a temporary workaround, for the time being?

    Cheers

      a couple of different Microsoft models

      Surface Laptop for Business, Copilot+ PC - 13 Inch, Snapdragon® X Plus (8 Core), Platinum, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
      Surface Laptop for Business, Copilot+ PC - 13.8 inch, Platinum, Snapdragon® X Plus (10 core), 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD

      Surface Laptop for Business, Copilot+ PC - 13.8 inch, Black, Snapdragon® X Elite (12 core), 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD

       

      and one Dell
      Dell Latitude 7455, Snapdragon (R) X Plus X1P-64-100 (10 cores up to 3.4 GHz, NPU up to 45 TOPS)
       
      I'm more interested in the pre-login functionality at the moment, to make sure that I always have connectivity to the domain controllers for GPO updates and the such.    I have set up a laptop with the cato client set with pre-login functionality, already domain joined to our network, and then send the laptop to the end user for them to sign into the laptop for the first time.  with the cato client, it can make that AD connection to the domain controller  to set up the user profile on that first login.  the Cato Browser Access wouldn't help us in this scenario, as far as I know.

        Hi WPAjack

        Appreciate your feedback.

        As this relates to Roadmap matters, it may be good to schedule a short session with your assigned Cato Representative and ItayPM to discuss on the finer details.

        Cheers!
