We performed a comparison between Check Point Web Gateway and Cisco ScanSafe Web Security SaaS 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."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 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."
"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 implementation of this tool was straightforward."
"I think this solution is very helpful to our customers because its cloud-based security can be deployed quickly and maintained easily."
"One of its rather outstanding capabilities is its ability to add an extra layer of protection to our company's internal network."
"It is very stable."
"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 feature that I see in the application is the filtering of the URLs."
"The stability of the tool is very good."
"Application control allows the administrator to create granular policies based on users to allow, block, or limit access."
"It is valuable to be able to block whole categories or groups at one time."
"The cyber security features they offer are most trusted"
"The web security is great."
"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"
"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."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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."
"It is not user-friendly."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"We would really benefit from some more visual features that can help view the impact of the security gateway in the organization."
"Check Point Web Gateway could add an end point access function."
"Some documents needed to implement with the best practices are difficult to understand, take longer than expected to apply, and sometimes even require support."
"The documentation must be improved."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's availability."
"The support must be faster."
"Setup is not that difficult, but it really requires proper technical training."
"The licensing could be better."
"The solution is not supported well because it is legacy."
