Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution performs well.""A stable solution with good support.""It's a great product with solid features.""Skyhigh performs well, and we can choose from virtual and hardware plans.

The user at a site will always access the web proxy for that location. It's suitable for an organization distributed across multiple regions.""The stability is the most valuable feature. We haven't had any issues with the product.""Box API features with DLP capabilities.""Overall, the performance is good.""Tokenization."

Cons
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data.""The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP.""One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps.""The encrypted disk implementation could be improved.

More Skyhigh Security Cons →

"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center.""It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking.""The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management.""Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network.""The web application scanning area can be improved.""Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved.""The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool.""Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
