Skyhigh’s Security Service Edge portfolio goes beyond data access and focuses on data use, allowing organizations to collaborate from any device and from anywhere without sacrificing security, while providing the visibility and control required to monitor and mitigate security risks.
Skyhigh Security offers flexibility, valuable API, and a broad solution that provides service management for various environments. It is stable, offers good protection, and has helpful technical support. Skyhigh Security performs well on virtual and hardware plans and is suitable for organizations distributed across multiple regions. The reporting is straightforward, and the backup features are efficient. The wide range of product support and filtering features are also valuable. The level of security and threat analysis are impressive, and it is easy to configure rules.
Skyhigh Security could improve in several areas, including the stability of their cloud portal, faster report generation, more knowledgeable technical support, a more user-friendly interface with seeking functions, simpler and more granular rule configuration with the ability to map 80 groups quickly, more automated backups, better marketing and awareness with proper branding and free lab trials, integration with CASB and support for unsanctioned applications, stronger API integration with third-party products, stronger performance with less CPU usage, a single console for all products, and improved encrypted disk implementation. Some reviewers also mentioned that the solution is expensive and lacks support for custom applications. Additionally, the documentation could be more detailed with more examples.
Users reported positive returns on investment from Skyhigh Security. They found the platform to be effective in protecting against threats and reducing risk, resulting in increased productivity and cost savings. The software's user-friendly interface and customizable features were also praised. Overall, Skyhigh Security was deemed a valuable investment by users.
Skyhigh Security's hardware is expensive, but overall, pricing is good and licensing is straightforward. There is room for price improvements, but it is reasonable compared to other products, some of which have very expensive licensing costs. Support is also provided, but proactive or better support would justify the pricing. There is an annual licensing cost, and purchasing licensing can be difficult for the government sector. A hybrid form of a license model would be wonderful.
