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 solution is stable."
"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 product is very user-friendly."
"I think this solution is very helpful to our customers because its cloud-based security can be deployed quickly and maintained easily."
"The most valuable feature that I see in the application is the filtering of the URLs."
"The product covers all the security needs of roaming users."
"The implementation of this tool was straightforward."
"It's easy to deploy this tool."
"It has an excellent threat prevention mechanism."
"It can also be used as a reverse proxy through the checkpoint."
"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."
"Skyhigh performs well, and we can choose from virtual and hardware plans. We can deploy the ISO on as many virtual machines as possible and easily set up high availability on the web proxy. The location doesn't matter. The user at a site will always access the web proxy for that location. It's suitable for an organization distributed across multiple regions."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."
"The management is very good."
"Tokenization."
"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability. The solution also has good KB articles that make it simple for users to do the deployment of Skyhigh Security themselves, without the need for integrators."
"The feature I found most valuable is the API."
"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."
"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."
"The learning curve is complex for new users."
"It is expensive. Its price should be better."
"The solution should improve integration."
"For the most modern versions, there currently is no documentation, or it is more difficult to find it."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"There is room for improvement in support because the solution needs multiple regions to reach certain features and validations."
"The support team’s response is not fast."
"It is not user-friendly."
"It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use."
"SkyHigh has the ability to place users or groups on a ‘Watchlist’; which allows you to see certain views with these Watchlists users/groups in them. This is great when you are looking at live data but if I wanted to generate a report on "only" the watchlists."
"Iron out the few bugs that I've seen."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"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."
"Needs integration with other technology ecosystems."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
