"Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."

"Box API features with DLP capabilities."
"It's a great product with solid features."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."

"The product needs to improve its automation."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."

"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."

"De-tokenization."
"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"An area for improvement in Skyhigh Security is its UI. It needs to be enhanced and made more user-friendly. Right now, the UI of Skyhigh Security is sometimes confusing. For example, my company is deploying Skyhigh Security for a client and integrating it on the cloud, from an on-premises deployment to a hybrid deployment. Though the experience isn't bad, there needs to be more enhancements. Another room for improvement in Skyhigh Security is the limited training resources, especially when you compare it with Cisco, which has many study materials in the market, even free training resources. You'll get limited resources if you search for Skyhigh Security tutorials on Google and YouTube. Because of high-security requirements and the training material for Skyhigh Security not being available, most engineers and architects avoid the product because there'd be a lack of knowledge in configuring and achieving the goals you'd want to reach via the use of Skyhigh Security. The NOC team deploying the product is having difficulty getting training resources for Skyhigh Security. You'll be charged an enormous amount if you search the market for training because of the limited resources available. Skyhigh Security needs to work on marketing and awareness as an improvement to the product."
"The virtual solution requires improvement."
