Streamlines firewall management and has reliable security features
The primary feature is managing firewalls through Panorama, especially when handling multiple firewalls across different sites like headquarters and remote sites. Additionally, the security modules like Data Loss Prevention and antivirus are vital as they integrate into the firewall to protect endpoints. These features are automated via cloud connections to Palo Alto Networks, ensuring up-to-date security signatures.
Santiago Gomez - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved the organization's PCI compliance with data loss prevention
I use the solution on a Macintosh computer and it has issues and does not work when I try to log in from the Safari Browser, but it works fine when I log in from the Google Chrome browser. The console has issues when the login is done through a Safari Browser. The console has to be more competitive and the compatibility of the browser needs to be better. I want to know about Skyhigh's competitiveness with other brands and about the vulnerability assessment and micro segmentations. I know Skyhigh has other products, but right now, I am studying what this new product is about. They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution with good support."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Data Loss Prevention is its comprehensive end-to-end solution in Cloud Delivery Security Services, which includes URL, data loss prevention, and advanced threat prevention as features that can be enabled just by clicking a checkbox."
"The setup is very easy as we just need to switch on and switch off."
"The security aspect in finance is crucial for controlling from a DLP perspective and ensuring protection."
"Another important feature is that the solution doesn't require any additional infrastructure to implement. It's a software license that is compatible with our existing hardware. We were able to install and configure the product seamlessly and effortlessly."
"Our clients primarily deploy Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP to control the flow of information in and out of their networks. The main use cases include monitoring and managing sensitive data such as credit card information and personally identifiable information."
"The security aspect in finance is crucial for controlling from a DLP perspective and ensuring protection."
"The primary feature is managing firewalls through Panorama, especially when handling multiple firewalls across different sites like headquarters and remote sites."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The cloud security features are the most valuable."
"The feature I like best about Skyhigh Security is its wide range of product support. For example, my company had NetApp storage running, and Skyhigh Security has on-premises NetApp storage support, which isn't available in other solutions. Skyhigh Security also has a better filtering feature versus the filtering feature in other solutions."
"Box API features with DLP capabilities."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"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."
"Tokenization."
"It is easy to configure rules."
 

Cons

"Pricing is expensive."
"There are mostly performance issues."
"Its scalability is not on par with the features of others."
"There is room for improvement in the documentation around the maintenance of the product, how the automatic updates work, and pushing out new policies. A little more detail and context in that area would be helpful."
"The configuration for Palo Alto Networks firewalls requires specifying many details, such as protocols and services."
"The product is still overly complicated compared to other vendors such as Check Point, which could be improved."
"You need to have an external solution to backup everything. For example, you need to have Syslog installed on your server as well so that you can back it up to another place."
"The solution needs improvement in stability. There has been feedback regarding the accuracy of file categorization."
"The encrypted disk implementation could be improved. I currently use it from a dongle or USB key with two-factor authentication to access my computer."
"User interface could be more intuitive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"De-tokenization."
"It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use."
"There are no training videos available for the product."
