We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Secure 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 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 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."
"It allowed our company to not worry about the security of a page, but talk more about the content and the productivity of specific types of web categories."
"Email Sandbox, DLP and Proxy."
"The critical role is web URL filtering."
"Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway does most of its job well, but I especially like its data security feature."
"The solution provided our organization with easy and secure internet access."
"It has protected clients against cyberattacks."
"This is a highly detailed product with very good key features."
"It’s pretty stable after you get up and running."
"There are a lot of features, but the groups that are created for the policy groups available with Netskope are already relevant to any industry. So grouping the policies is the easiest part and a valuable feature."
"Prevents data leakage and protects data."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is that everything is on the cloud. It has no on-premise hardware to deal with."
"The solution offers good security functionality."
"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."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The solution's CASB, DLP, and threat protection features are very good."
"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 suggest focusing on improving the GUI's stability, especially when implementing new filters or patches."
"Sometimes attacks or a new ransomware gets through."
"There are several issues with the product. Version 8.4 can only be managed with a CLI, they removed the nice GUI interface from version 8.1. The load-balancing needs massive improvements. The incident lists don’t sync between appliances, they need to be manually edited for each one."
"There should be more hardware models available and the application control could improve."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The availability of clusters is limited, and the product is very unstable. The development team is slow as well."
"We have had latency issues."
"The product needs to have more mobility."
"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."
"Netskope can only provide the high level related to threats."
"Netskope Next Gen Secure Web Gateway needs to integrate IoT, which can help to control devices."
"Since they have the Netskope client, adding some functionality in the endpoint would be good."
"They should work on marketing material to put out their work with a little more effort."
"The solution lacks a good reporting feature."
"Cost competitiveness is its area of improvement. They will have to figure out how can they strategically price it because there are a few players in the game who have been doing it for a long time. They will have to figure out how to go to market on the pricing."
"The solution could improve the features for Zero Trust Network Access. They should add more security components to that module."
