IT Systems Administrator at Prokhas Sdn Bhd
Affordable and provides visibility into what the users are doing with the data
The file integrity monitoring feature is difficult to manage because some files are confidential while others are not. We use a different tool to classify the files as confidential and non-confidential. The sensitive data discovery and classification features are not of much help. It is a difficult process. The controlling features must be improved. The interface must be improved.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product’s strict policies are its best features."
"The detection and alert features are valuable."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"The cloud risk registry has been great for getting a quick and clearer understanding of the risk of proposed services that we are looking at allowing."
"The most valuable feature is the support; it's the best, with a really good strategy and an excellent CASB solution."
"A faster procurement cycle has been achieved because we do not need to conduct a lot of proofs of value or proofs of concept, since they already know the solution."
"As a cloud solution, it's easily scalable."
"I personally don't have any issues with the performance or the stability of the solution."
"It makes our work easier."
"In that way, it gives in-depth visibility and a granular monitoring facility for the company: What is happening inside the company, what people are using, what kind of data is going through the company."
 

Cons

"The vendor must provide a cloud solution."
"The interface must be improved."
"Troubleshooting takes more time and is not easy; direct support is challenging."
"I chose seven out of ten because Skyhigh Security has some problems with frequent updates on the SCP client, and there are some bugs."
"The initial setup was challenging, and the documentation could be improved to make it easier."
"One area for improvement I've seen in Skyhigh Security is that it lacks support for unsanctioned applications, where customers have their applications. Those applications do not come from Microsoft or other popular vendors. For example, Microsoft has support for Teams and it has support for OneDrive, but it doesn't have support for custom applications built by customers. Customers have internal teams building and publishing applications to the external world, but Skyhigh Security doesn't have support for those applications, and this is the main problem I've seen. The solution only supports a pool of applications that are from Microsoft and other major SaaS vendors. McAfee doesn't provide support for custom applications, compared to other vendors who provide it. For example, Bitglass and Netskope both have support for custom applications. Another area for improvement in Skyhigh Security is that its API support is a little weak. I also have not seen a strong integration between the solution and other McAfee products."
"It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use."
"The Web UI is still not quite as responsive as we would like."
"When compared to other technologies, Skyhigh Security is quite simple, but if there is any improvement in the GUI, it will be quite easy for us because it looks a legacy interface."
"The Skyhigh for Google Drive interface and policy engine is a bit confusing and limited when compared against other Google Drive CASB capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The tool is not expensive."
"Some of our clients have a perpetual license and pay additional support yearly."
"They definitely charge a huge amount. All the security service providers charge a huge amount."
"The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually. The price is reasonable."
"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."
