Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is policy redirecting and security reports.""Using the reporting, we can tell that we have gained an extra layer of protection. Just by looking at it, we can see what is being blocked before it even makes it to the firewall. It is definitely working.""The dossier feature is perfect for starting an investigation.""Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense furthers the existing security posture rather than replacing or trying to replace any existing products.""When it comes to helping to detect DNS threats, BloxOne is good on all fronts. The number of false positives is very low, close to none. More than once it has detected new names or lookalike names and protected us and saved us from bad characters.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the granularity for which you can categorize what you want to block versus what you don't want to block.""The automatic blocklists are most valuable. A box can maintain several lists from which we can choose if we need to block more or less. We don't have to manually manage the lists ourselves. They're automatically updated.""The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks."

"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points.""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.""Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs.""The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has.""It is easy to configure rules.""The feature I found most valuable is the API.""Overall, the performance is good."

Cons
"The product could be cheaper.""The documentation needs to be improved because there are a lot of different models that it can be deployed in, and it's somewhat confusing determining what you need and how to set it up to best cover your use cases.""They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly.""The dashboard and reporting features need improvement. The user needs more informative dashboards so they can get to the results directly without getting deep in the report to get to the information.""We would like to see more reporting capabilities that are now offered only with the on-premises reporting appliance.""The research side and the reporting side need improvement. Both of those are items on the menu. They could use a little bit of cleanup to make their respective information more easily understood.""The setup was horrible. About a year ago, Infoblox made us re-enroll all our on-prem DNS servers by a set date to a specific version, or it would stop working. I told my colleague, "Oh, here, we have to upgrade the servers and reconnect them to the CSP." That did not go well at all.""A lot of their documentation needs improvement."

More Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense Cons →

"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult.""De-tokenization.""Its initial setup could be more straightforward.""One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps.""The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable.""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.""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."
