By moving to having more in the cloud, their cloud is automatically updated as part of a SaaS solution, which reduces the responsibility on the company to do the updates themselves.

Customer Service

Sentiment score

Skyhigh Security's customer service is rated high, but technical support needs improvement in consistency and first-contact resolution.

Weekly setup calls are conducted with all clients to discuss ongoing issues and resolutions.
Deputy Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
There is also some really good diagnostic information built into their web gateways that they deploy on-premise if you want to do hybrid, so they get a lot of information before you even know something might be wrong.

We upgraded with a plan for the next five to seven years to run with this solution because this easy scalability is what we are able to achieve with Skyhigh Security for our environment.

Skyhigh Security is largely stable and reliable, with improvements and multi-location capabilities but some regional gaps remain.

Technical Associate Network Security at Valuepoint Systems
If your primary location is down, you just get diverted to the other one.
Manager - Cyber Security at a educational organization with 1-10 employees

Setup Cost

Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is often seen as expensive, but pricing perceptions vary based on needs and roles.
Skyhigh Security offers flexible yet potentially higher pricing, with costs depending on user numbers and required features.
After switching, cost savings would be in the millions since we were having many VPN edge routers, and there were many VPN tunnels utilized on the cloud, and after moving to ZTNA, we were able to cut the cost.
Information Security Specialist at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
The pricing and licensing was generally aligned with the number of users and the models, and the cost depends on the scope, but I think Skyhigh Security has great pricing for the market.

Experience boosts operational efficiency while performance sees room for improvement
I don't have specific information on whether it was purchased on the AWS marketplace or somewhere else. I am working with Dynatrace Operator. I am also working with Algosec, Alluvio, CrowdStrike, Firemon, Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, and other solutions. I think it's a good tool, and I am satisfied with it. We have not stored cloud workloads with Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline yet; we are still on-premises. The technical support takes about one to two hours to respond, which is acceptable. I am satisfied with the scalability of the product. The interface is good.

Centralized cloud security has improved DLP incident management and simplifies email protection
One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved. More customized columns and filtering options in incident review would be beneficial. File types should be included, such as file names along with file extensions, which are not currently available to my knowledge. Overall, Skyhigh Security is very good and just needs to improve in terms of the latency of downloading incidents.
