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 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 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 most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"The product offers an easy initial setup."
"It gives you value for your investment."
"Macro integration is a good feature."
"As it is based on AWS, it is not a problem."
"The most valuable aspect for us is the fact that the product seamlessly integrates with the Forcepoint DLP."
"Generally, most of our customers are happy with it though."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"It's one of the top-ranking solutions in the market, and it's very responsive. We are using Netskope, and Netskope provides a load of features for SQL, STP, and traffic control."
"The automation offered by the product is pretty solid."
"The solution offers a better understanding of the real scenario and identifies the cloud apps that are being utilized."
"Technical support is good. They are very helpful and quick to resolve any issues we have."
"A feature that was valuable was the built-in website classification or safety ratings. Different websites would be rated according to analyses that the Netskope team had done, and we built policies on some of those scores. If the website scored less than a certain percentage, then we would have a different user experience around how the site would interact with the clients."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the support is very good and the dashboards are easy and intuitive to use."
"The initial setup of Netskope CASB is easy, it is not complex."
"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."
"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."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"When using the Forcepoint CASB, and you are a remote worker, basically not in the office, you have to have an agent on your computer, a Forcepoint agent. However, with many other CASB solutions, they can integrate with MDM."
"The solution needs to be easier to install, and they need to clean up the backend, so stuff doesn't break."
"Integration is an area of the solution that needs to be improved."
"Lacks different ways to authenticate users."
"They should work on the possibility of consolidating all of the products with the group of agents."
"Forcepoint removed the ability to scan for unsanctioned applications on the CASB."
"Lacking in local customer support."
"The solution's implementations can be made much easier because, currently, it is complex in nature."
"In some cases, when you have a lot of policies, it can get confusing for users and you can get lost in the GUI."
"I deduced two points: one for their feature modification and one for the feature maturity of the solution."
"There could be better integration with other solutions."
"I would like to have an identity theft protection function."
"The CSPM model needs to improve."
"Support services could definitely be improved. Support is the one area that can always use improvement. It's an evolving thing, so based on demand and based on market requirement and the way market is moving towards."
