We performed a comparison between Skyhigh Security and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 solution is stable."
"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 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."
"It also prevents you from writing data to your Gmail and does not allow you to move your data outside of the corporate system. That is the most important feature for me."
"It's a great product with solid features."
"The solution performs well."
"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."
"Data loss prevention and user behavior analysis are two valuable features."
"Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The support is excellent."
"The product’s most valuable feature is DMPO."
"When extra capacity is needed, we can get it very quickly."
"The most valuable features are the orchestration layer, plug and play capabilities, and also the fact that you can either configure it as a full mesh or hard install."
"I have found the dynamic multipoint protocol(DNPO) most useful because it can tell you which is the best circuit to use for different types of traffic."
"This solution is as stable as most firewalls. VMware is a reputable vendor."
"One of the key use cases for VMware SD-WAN was assisting a customer in the industrial zone. They required virtualized servers and wanted to enable VMware SD-WAN to connect their sites in Japan or China. We assisted in building the system by integrating VMware servers and utilizing the Cisco suite."
"The cloud gateway is a very good feature for scaling purposes, etc."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is manageability."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"The secure gateway could be improved."
"The services take some time to load. It would be helpful if the loading time was reduced."
"Its initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
"Needs integration with other technology ecosystems."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"Though the Skyhigh Dashboard is processing large amounts of data, the speed of the Dashboard could be improved."
"User interface could be more intuitive."
"There should be more automation and self-service features."
"There might be potential enhancements in better integration with other platforms, increased stability, and heightened security."
"There is no security included, which is something that should be improved."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"They need to start focusing on the security functionality. They should find a way to embed the next-generation firewall functionality within the architecture. They should move more into applying SASE tenants to what they're doing."
"The firewall can be more advanced."
"VMware SD-WAN is complicated to configure."
"VMware SD-WAN can improve on the security features."
