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 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."
"The solution is stable."
"The client size and architectural components in Netskope are far better than other solutions."
"Its deployment is very easy and quick. Their technical support is also very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the support is very good and the dashboards are easy and intuitive to use."
"The interface is good."
"Netskope is a one-platform security product that provides security functions. It is the most advantageous product in the Japanese market."
"Netskope is an efficient, reliable, and easy-to-manage solution."
"The initial setup of Netskope CASB is easy, it is not complex."
"It has hundreds of features and many of them are useful."
"VMware has been chosen by many of our customers who do not want to do a lot of complex routing in their environment and want a very easy-to-use solution. The most valuable features are simple troubleshooting, Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), and cybersecurity."
"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."
"The setup is very straightforward."
"The cloud gateway is a very good feature for scaling purposes, etc."
"When extra capacity is needed, we can get it very quickly."
"Anyone can migrate over to VeloCloud, it's that simple, just plug in the necessary cables and it's done."
"VMware SD-WAN is easy-to-use."
"There are 400 functionalities of the system."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"There could be room for improvement in the subscription process."
"The solution is still pretty new to the CASB environment."
"They could improve their mobile agents as they have some limitations."
"The initial setup is complex and should be simplified."
"In terms of improvements, enhancing support, particularly for OEM support with quicker response times would be beneficial."
"Setting up policies is something that we having been doing, and if the vendor were to provide example use cases that included different implementation options then it would be very useful for us."
"If we need to allow a process that is blocked by Netskope, we have to manually check the logs to see why it is blocked. This can be time-consuming and inefficient"
"The configuration and user behaviour analytics can be improved."
"VMware SD-WAN can improve on the security features."
"I would like to improve the tool’s cloud security features. I would like to see high-throughput hardware requests in the product’s next release. The solution should also support multiple gigs which could be around ten."
"VMware SD-WAN could be improved with more automation and more integration, but each vendor could use these improvements."
"There is still room for improvement in support and security, especially in enhancing the SASE aspect of the platform."
"They should provide us with the flexibility to scale up."
"There is no security included, which is something that should be improved."
"Reports could be simplified."
"In an upcoming release, the solution can be more functional and have additional features."
