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 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."
"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."
"One of its rather outstanding capabilities is its ability to add an extra layer of protection to our company's internal network."
"The stability of the tool is very good."
"It filters the URLs by reputation, denying access to those proven to be harmful and inspecting those which haven't been flagged yet to detect threats before the user can enter it."
"The product covers all the security needs of roaming users."
"It offers good security and we use it when we want to implement the best security in an organization due to the fact that it gives us broader visibility."
"The most valuable features of Check Point Web Gateway are all the IPS. However, what matters for users is content and web filtering."
"I think this solution is very helpful to our customers because its cloud-based security can be deployed quickly and maintained easily."
"The implementation of this tool was straightforward."
"Overall, the performance is good."
"Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs."
"The most valuable features of MVISION Cloud are the automatic reports and modification incidents."
"A stable solution with good support."
"The most valuable features of McAfee Web Gateway are anti-malware, reports, and powerful categorization of web pages."
"DLP policies and anomalies."
"The solution performs well."
"It's an easy-to-use product."
"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."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"There should be an improvement in interface integration."
"The documentation must be improved."
"The learning curve is complex for new users."
"There is room for improvement in support because the solution needs multiple regions to reach certain features and validations."
"Most of the time, we are struggling when it comes to getting support."
"The support must be faster."
"It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP."
"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 only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"I think that the User Interface could be improved."
"You can integrate Skyhigh's rules with Active Directory groups. For example, you can allow access to a specific website for a defined set of users. I can do that, but the rules are not straightforward. It can look up the group in Active Directory. However, it doesn't always find the proper group name. The rule configuration should be simpler and more granular. The admin should be able to map 80 groups in the rules quickly."
"MVISION Cloud is not well known and there should be more information about the solution. There could be integration to local applications."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
