We performed a comparison between Check Point 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 solution is stable."
"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 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."
"Application control gives IT teams an opportunity to set suitable policies that can be used by all teams when coding."
"Application control allows the administrator to create granular policies based on users to allow, block, or limit access."
"It filters the URLs by reputation, denying access to those proven to be harmful and inspecting those which haven't been flagged yet to detect threats before the user can enter it."
"The product covers all the security needs of roaming users."
"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."
"It has an excellent threat prevention mechanism."
"It is very stable."
"As Netskope is a cloud-based application, it is possible to analyze and distinguish personal and enterprise instances."
"The solution offers good security functionality."
"Web filtering and DLP are good features."
"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."
"Overall, the product is nice, and I like the URL filtering, CASB, and other security stacks like threat prevention."
"Prevents data leakage and protects data."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"We can connect cloud apps and monitor them."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's availability."
"Perhaps the latency in the administrative part of the portal would be a point of improvement."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"Check Point Web Gateway could improve the user interface. It could be made more modern."
"It is not user-friendly."
"Most of the time, we are struggling when it comes to getting support."
"Check Point Web Gateway could add an end point access function."
"There is room for improvement in support because the solution needs multiple regions to reach certain features and validations."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex in that it takes a lot of time. In order to get the product to work as you need it to, there is a lot of configuration required."
"The solution could improve the features for Zero Trust Network Access. They should add more security components to that module."
"The solution lacks a good reporting feature."
"There is room for improvement in streamlining policies. So what happens is that when you apply a specific Netskope policy, you never know the kind of content it will automatically block, or it will allow."
"Netskope can only provide the high level related to threats."
"The accuracy could be improved."
"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."
