We performed a comparison between Forcepoint CASB and Skyhigh Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) 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 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."
"The solution is stable."
"As it is based on AWS, it is not a problem."
"It gives you value for your investment."
"Generally, most of our customers are happy with it though."
"Macro integration is a good feature."
"The most valuable aspect for us is the fact that the product seamlessly integrates with the Forcepoint DLP."
"The product offers an easy initial setup."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and easy to perform."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"Overall, the performance is good."
"It gives us visibility into how the data is being used within our cloud environment."
"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."
"The most valuable features of McAfee Web Gateway are anti-malware, reports, and powerful categorization of web pages."
"Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."
"It is easy to configure rules."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks different ways to authenticate users."
"They should work on the possibility of consolidating all of the products with the group of agents."
"The solution needs to be easier to install, and they need to clean up the backend, so stuff doesn't break."
"Integration is an area of the solution that needs to be improved."
"When using the Forcepoint CASB, and you are a remote worker, basically not in the office, you have to have an agent on your computer, a Forcepoint agent. However, with many other CASB solutions, they can integrate with MDM."
"Forcepoint removed the ability to scan for unsanctioned applications on the CASB."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
"User interface could be more intuitive."
"McAfee Web Gateway could improve the reporting. We have the reporting on a separate server and sometimes the database becomes full. These aspects could improve."
"The Skyhigh for Google Drive interface and policy engine is a bit confusing and limited when compared against other Google Drive CASB capabilities."
"I would like to see more power being given to the admin. In the sense that in case an employee is facing an issue and they want to configure a service, like attaching an email in Gmail, for example, they should be given the option to make the service request and get that configured on the go."
"MVISION Cloud is not well known and there should be more information about the solution. There could be integration to local applications."
"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 virtual solution requires improvement."
