We performed a comparison between Skyhigh Security and Wiz based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: Skyhigh Security's strengths include strong URL spam filtering, automatic reports, and encrypted disk and endpoint protection. On the other hand, Wiz provides context and prioritizes risks, with a Security Graph for custom reports and agentless scanning. Skyhigh Security has areas of improvement in their virtual solution, encrypted disk implementation, API integration, and pricing. On the other hand, Wiz requires preventive controls, refined reporting, customizable dashboards, improved risk assessment, and better tenant management.
Service and Support: Skyhigh Security's customer service has received both positive and negative feedback from users. Some customers reported experiencing slow response times and unhelpful engineers. In comparison, Wiz's customer service is highly praised for its excellent technical support and easy accessibility to account representatives.
Ease of Deployment: Skyhigh Security's setup requires technical knowledge and is a mix of straightforward and complex. Meanwhile, Wiz's setup is easy to deploy and can be completed in just a few hours or even one hour.
Pricing: Skyhigh Security has higher setup costs and expensive hardware, but reasonable licensing. Wiz has a fair and simple pricing model, but some have concerns about potential price increases and lack of transparency. Most reviewers rate Wiz's pricing as fair given its capabilities and features, while Skyhigh Security's affordability is positively reviewed.
ROI: Skyhigh Security provides improved security posture, reduced risk of data breaches, increased visibility and control over cloud usage, and streamlined compliance. On the other hand, Wiz helps with asset management, identifying vulnerabilities, and decentralized investigations.
Comparison Results: Wiz is the preferred choice over Skyhigh Security according to user reviews. It offers context and prioritization of risks, especially in the cloud, through its Security Graph feature. Non-technical teams find it accessible with automation roles and easy-to-read dashboards. Wiz's agentless scanning and inventory features are highly valued. While Skyhigh Security is a market leader in CASB and offers good protection, it lacks some features that Wiz provides like SD-WAN and preventive controls.
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"The ease of use of the platform is very nice."
"The cloud misconfiguration is the most valuable feature."
"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"The risk rating of each cloud application has been very useful. Whenever we discover a new application is use, we are able to quickly determine if this application is safe to use and whether or not we should allow our end users to be able to access it."
"Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."
"It gives us visibility into how the data is being used within our cloud environment."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"I like the encrypted disk feature and the endpoint protection."
"Tokenization."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."
"Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"Customized queries should be made easier to improve PingSafe."
"PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"I would like additional integrations."
"You have to have some kind of background with cloud-based security, like working with different providers and how to make instances in the clouds and that kind of stuff - including cloud, networking cloud, cloud application development, anything like that is a requirement to be in the CASB space."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
"The biggest challenge we have with McAfee is their cross-cloud support."
"The Skyhigh for Google Drive interface and policy engine is a bit confusing and limited when compared against other Google Drive CASB capabilities."
"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."
"I would like to see more power being given to the admin. In the sense that in case an employee is facing an issue and they want to configure a service, like attaching an email in Gmail, for example, they should be given the option to make the service request and get that configured on the go."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
