We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiGate SWG and Skyhigh Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Web Gateways (SWG) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate SWG is inspection."
"The product is easy to install since we only need to follow the user manual, documents, and articles provided by Fortinet to install the product."
"The security for endpoints is the most valuable. It is very secure for our workers. It allows us to secure a transaction and enable security for a specific segment in the workflow."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The pricing on offer is excellent."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to configure. The most valuable feature is FortiGate’s content filtering."
"FortiGate SWG's most valuable feature is integration with vulnerability management."
"The response from the technical support team has always been excellent."
"The stability is the most valuable feature. We haven't had any issues with the product."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."
"Tokenization."
"A stable solution with good support."
"There is [a feature] called cloud registry where we can see a risk assessment for the cloud services being used. If we want to add a new cloud service or a new cloud application, we can check into it and do an assessment through the cloud registry."
"Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature."
"The management is very good."
"Good anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"The solution could improve by having some additional features, such as IBS and better cloud administration."
"Fortinet needs to continue to improve network traceability. Other than that, we haven't run into anything that would give me any concern."
"Fortinet FortiGate SWG's SSL offloading features need improvement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Fortinet's support team consists of a huge networking team, because of which there is a delay in response at times."
"It is complicated to manage different kinds of on-premise boxes."
"We are providing VoIP and the IP licensing could improve in Fortinet FortiGate SWG."
"We also have FortiAnalyzer deployed here, so we want to enable the soft functionality of FortiGate and built-in compression for a firewall VPN use case. We want the ability to deploy a gateway for HTTPS enabled on this firewall. It is currently only for use in our headquarters."
"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."
"The secure gateway could be improved."
"The performance of the tool can be improved to provide faster report generation."
"Though the Skyhigh Dashboard is processing large amounts of data, the speed of the Dashboard could be improved."
"It is an expensive solution."
"De-tokenization."
"Iron out the few bugs that I've seen."
"I think that the User Interface could be improved."
