Gateway

Gateway’s DNS filtering is easy to deploy. Point resolvers at Cloudflare and you get category blocking, malware protection, and logging. For a small team, an afternoon’s work produces a worthwhile security improvement.

HTTP inspection, TLS decryption, and egress policies are a much bigger commitment. They require the WARP client on every device and a trusted root certificate. Certificate pinning, platform-specific client quirks, and user friction all become your problem.

It is a capable product in a crowded SASE market. From a smaller organization’s perspective, the easy parts are great and the deeper features demand more investment than most teams want to make.
