Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace."
"Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs."
"It also prevents you from writing data to your Gmail and does not allow you to move your data outside of the corporate system. That is the most important feature for me."
"A stable solution with good support."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."
"Shadow IT reporting capabilities."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"DLP policies and anomalies."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and easy to perform."
 

Cons

"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
"There are several features, such as supporting web technologies, that the company is working on implementing in the platform. There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
"The solution has room for improvement in its DDoS protection."
"It is an expensive solution."
"User interface could be more intuitive."
"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."
"The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP."
"There are no training videos available for the product."
"Though the Skyhigh Dashboard is processing large amounts of data, the speed of the Dashboard could be improved."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"This is an expensive product, although it is made for larger enterprises and not for small organizations."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually. The price is reasonable."
"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is okay, though there's always a scope for price improvements. Its pricing is okay compared to other products because other products have very expensive licensing costs. Along with the licensing, support is also provided for Skyhigh Security, so pricing is reasonable, but if there's proactive or better support, that will justify the pricing. I haven't interacted with the Skyhigh Security technical support team yet, so I'd give pricing a four out of five rating for now."
"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."
"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."
"Commercially, I find Skyhigh Security a little costlier, compared to other products such as SentinelOne or Cybereason which are really novelty products. I'm not comparing Skyhigh Security with Trend Micro, but with other products, in particular the new, next-generation products. The price for Skyhigh Security is high in terms of value and ROI. I would rate the product price combined with product efficacy a six out of ten."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The licensing fees are based on what environments you are monitoring."
