We performed a comparison between Check Point Web Gateway and Skyhigh Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Web Gateways (SWG) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"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 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."
"The solution is stable."
"Application control allows the administrator to create granular policies based on users to allow, block, or limit access."
"SmartConsole is intuitive."
"The stability of the tool is very good."
"It is very stable."
"It's easy to deploy this tool."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The implementation of this tool was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Check Point Web Gateway are all the IPS. However, what matters for users is content and web filtering."
"It gives us visibility into how the data is being used within our cloud environment."
"The feature I found most valuable is the API."
"User analytics."
"The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has."
"Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."
"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"DLP policies and anomalies."
"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."
"Check Point Web Gateway could add an end point access function."
"It is expensive. Its price should be better."
"It is not user-friendly."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"We understand that if we want to see greater connections, greater services, and a greater capacity established for primary equipment, this solution needs to evolve to make an application installed directly on equipment."
"The tool's response time can be improved since sometimes it lags, but not always...The tool's UI should be made more dynamic."
"The support must be faster."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's availability."
"Its initial setup could be more straightforward."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"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 tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Though the Skyhigh Dashboard is processing large amounts of data, the speed of the Dashboard could be improved."
"The biggest challenge we have with McAfee is their cross-cloud support."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
