We performed a comparison between Skyhigh Security and Zscaler CASB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"We have gained a deep insight into our Shadow IT usage as well as the different activities involved in Office 365."
"It is easy to configure rules."
"Box API features with DLP capabilities."
"The support is excellent."
"The solution performs well."
"The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has."
"The feature I like best about Skyhigh Security is its wide range of product support. For example, my company had NetApp storage running, and Skyhigh Security has on-premises NetApp storage support, which isn't available in other solutions. Skyhigh Security also has a better filtering feature versus the filtering feature in other solutions."
"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."
"It has been helpful in maintaining our infrastructure. The granular level control it offers allows us to set application policies per application for each user."
"Zscaler CASB's latency and architecture are excellent."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler CASB are API integration and DLP."
"Overall, the solution does a pretty good job at web filtering."
"Has a good zero trust feature."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"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"
"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."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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."
"The biggest challenge we have with McAfee is their cross-cloud support."
"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."
"Iron out the few bugs that I've seen."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
"One area for improvement I've seen in Skyhigh Security is that it lacks support for unsanctioned applications, where customers have their applications. Those applications do not come from Microsoft or other popular vendors. For example, Microsoft has support for Teams and it has support for OneDrive, but it doesn't have support for custom applications built by customers. Customers have internal teams building and publishing applications to the external world, but Skyhigh Security doesn't have support for those applications, and this is the main problem I've seen. The solution only supports a pool of applications that are from Microsoft and other major SaaS vendors. McAfee doesn't provide support for custom applications, compared to other vendors who provide it. For example, Bitglass and Netskope both have support for custom applications. Another area for improvement in Skyhigh Security is that its API support is a little weak. I also have not seen a strong integration between the solution and other McAfee products."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."
"The pre-defined dictionaries could be improved."
"Zscaler CASB should include integrations with other SaaS applications."
"It needs to offer SSO, single sign-on, and items of that nature."
"User management can be improved."
"Zscaler CASB breaks down at times."
"The solution's granularity should be improved because it has limited granular options to control, visible, allow, block, delay, and receive."
