We performed a comparison between Perimeter 81 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 solution is stable."
"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."
"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."
"Providing access and security allows our company employees to work from home and remotely."
"The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten."
"The benefits are really built into the underlying protocol, however, Perimeter81 makes these available in a user-friendly way."
"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."
"SD-WAN is one of the primary solutions offered by Perimeter 81."
"Even after restarting, it tries to quickly reestablish connection which is very helpful."
"Logging back into Perimeter 81 is relatively user-friendly as I just need to re-type my Windows credentials in to access the VPN."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is easy to configure rules."
"Box API features with DLP capabilities."
"I like the encrypted disk feature and the endpoint protection."
"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 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."
"We have gained a deep insight into our Shadow IT usage as well as the different activities involved in Office 365."
"Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."
"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 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."
"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."
"Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment."
"The overall UI could be improved and updated to bring a simpler feel to the application."
"The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs."
"There is a very small amount of downtime."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on."
"Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity."
"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
"McAfee needs to add more products that could be managed from the cloud."
"It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use."
"The virtual solution requires improvement."
"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."
"They could be integrated with CASB. I think normally McAfee has this solution in the cloud, but for us the best is on-premise."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
"The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
