We performed a comparison between Netskope and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) 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."
"Netskope is a one-platform security product that provides security functions. It is the most advantageous product in the Japanese market."
"The detection capability is very nice and lightweight."
"The client size and architectural components in Netskope are far better than other solutions."
"It has hundreds of features and many of them are useful."
"A very straightforward interface."
"The interface is good."
"The solution offers a better understanding of the real scenario and identifies the cloud apps that are being utilized."
"The automation offered by the product is pretty solid."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is the virtualization platform. You can use the software on any hardware. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"It is fairly similar to other solutions. It has the capability for testing link connectivity, which is its unique feature from a control perspective."
"In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward."
"They have a lot of built-ins. There are so many applications defined inside the solution. It makes it so that we don't have to create some policies. Each and every application is already defined in it."
"I would absolutely recommend VeloCloud because it's user-friendly and because the integration is easier than with other solutions."
"Feature-wise, VMware SD-WAN is a really strong cloud web security product."
"The most valuable feature is load balancing."
"I like VMware SD-WAN's automation and zero-touch provisioning. Its main advantage is simplicity. Anyone can use this gateway."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's documentation still needs to be improved."
"In terms of improvements, enhancing support, particularly for OEM support with quicker response times would be beneficial."
"The configuration and user behaviour analytics can be improved."
"Deployment and policy tweaking were two areas where improvement needs to be made."
"Technical support and the user interface could be improved."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The initial setup is complex and should be simplified."
"Support services could definitely be improved. Support is the one area that can always use improvement. It's an evolving thing, so based on demand and based on market requirement and the way market is moving towards."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"Its integration with the security systems would be a nice implementation. They can also consider using a management platform for both network and security operations. This would be a great improvement."
"In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features."
"Better price model would be appreciated."
"There is no security included, which is something that should be improved."
"The security of the firewall should be improved. It would be a good idea to have a standalone product with better security."
"They should provide us with the flexibility to scale up."
"There should be more automation and self-service features."
