We performed a comparison between McAfee Web Gateway Cloud Service and Skyhigh Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks and others in Secure Web Gateways (SWG)."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 most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"The solution is stable."
"The user interface is easy to configure."
"DLP policies and anomalies."
"Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs."
"Good anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities."
"The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has."
"It's an easy-to-use product."
"The management is very good."
"The feature I found most valuable is the API."
"The most valuable features of MVISION Cloud are the automatic reports and modification incidents."
"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."
"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"
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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."
"The product should provide more integrations."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"The biggest challenge we have with McAfee is their cross-cloud support."
"The performance of the tool can be improved to provide faster report generation."
"Iron out the few bugs that I've seen."
"They could be integrated with CASB. I think normally McAfee has this solution in the cloud, but for us the best is on-premise."
"The secure gateway could be improved."
"MVISION Cloud is not well known and there should be more information about the solution. There could be integration to local applications."
