"The product has a very high rating from reviewers. It's a well-respected product."
"The solution performs well."
"It's a great product with solid features."
"Tokenization."
"It's an easy-to-use product."
"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."
"It is easy to configure rules."
"Skyhigh performs well, and we can choose from virtual and hardware plans. We can deploy the ISO on as many virtual machines as possible and easily set up high availability on the web proxy. The location doesn't matter. The user at a site will always access the web proxy for that location. It's suitable for an organization distributed across multiple regions."
"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."
"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"The predictive prioritization features are pretty good. They do a lot of research and we trust the research that they do internally. They have knowledge of what's going on with many companies, where we only get a view into what's going on here. So the ability to get best practices out of them as part of this solution, is valuable to us."
"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use."
"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."
"The encrypted disk implementation could be improved. I currently use it from a dongle or USB key with two-factor authentication to access my computer."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
"I think that the User Interface could be improved."
"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 biggest challenge we have with McAfee is their cross-cloud support."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
"I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
