We performed a comparison between Check Point Web Gateway and Netskope Next Gen Secure Web Gateway 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."
"The implementation of this tool was straightforward."
"It has an excellent threat prevention mechanism."
"The most valuable feature that I see in the application is the filtering of the URLs."
"It can also be used as a reverse proxy through the checkpoint."
"Application control gives IT teams an opportunity to set suitable policies that can be used by all teams when coding."
"The product covers all the security needs of roaming users."
"One of its rather outstanding capabilities is its ability to add an extra layer of protection to our company's internal network."
"The product's best feature is observing how the traffic flows from one gateway to another. It's convenient for checking specific details, and you can manage everything centrally."
"Overall, the product is nice, and I like the URL filtering, CASB, and other security stacks like threat prevention."
"Web filtering and DLP are good features."
"It is for secure web trafficking, and it is doing what it needs to do. It allows customers to consolidate and eliminate multiple technologies onto Netskope and just kind of turn the dial and use more features, such as CASB, VPN. SWG is another feature. You can monitor and govern all the traffic."
"The solution has some useful features, such as microservices. They have sandboxing that allows the prevention, encryption, and remote browser isolation."
"The solution's CASB, DLP, and threat protection features are very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its three modules, which are SWG, ZTNA, and CASB."
"As Netskope is a cloud-based application, it is possible to analyze and distinguish personal and enterprise instances."
"We can connect cloud apps and monitor them."
"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."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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 documentation must be improved."
"We would really benefit from some more visual features that can help view the impact of the security gateway in the organization."
"It is not user-friendly."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's availability."
"Check Point Web Gateway could add an end point access function."
"Since they have the Netskope client, adding some functionality in the endpoint would be good."
"There is room for improvement in streamlining policies. So what happens is that when you apply a specific Netskope policy, you never know the kind of content it will automatically block, or it will allow."
"The solution could improve the features for Zero Trust Network Access. They should add more security components to that module."
"The solution needs to improve its on-premise detection technique."
"Netskope Next Gen Secure Web Gateway needs to integrate IoT, which can help to control devices."
"The stability of the solution to be very good. It is not the best and could improve but it is better than other solutions, such as Forcepoint."
"Improvement in the solution is required in certain areas where the product does not provide access to its direct end users, who use the portal as an administrator."
"The initial setup is a bit complex in that it takes a lot of time. In order to get the product to work as you need it to, there is a lot of configuration required."
