Governance dashboards have improved risk visibility but still need smarter automated decisions
The governance part is the most prominent area for improvement. We want to have a dashboard with just one click where the KPIs are pre-configured as per the business requirement and those things are monitored on a regular basis to check how things are moving. Governance and high-level management or board level visibility matter the most. We are trying to incorporate artificial models which can take care of many things that are currently taken care of manually or through certain jobs so that they can be automated with the help of AI models or agents. We will progress as the AI model matures with pattern learning and all those things. We want self-decision capabilities. Not just analysis and giving alerts, but even taking decisions of actions and performing those actions. The first step would be to not only alert that there is an issue or threat, but to evaluate the threat itself in generality and suggest something. The second step is where those suggestions will definitely have some good minds working on them, but only if they are suitable will we make it as a learning model. Otherwise, we will discard and modify those things. The second level would be to let the learning model learn and then gradually figure out whether we can delegate the decision in the sense of the action that they can perform, see it and then evaluate whether it is falling in line as per the expectation. This is how we will progress on a use case basis only.

Centralized cloud visibility has strengthened governance but still needs smoother policy tuning
Skyhigh Security is, in my view, a strong platform. Of course, there are still areas where the user experience and operational workflows could be improved. One area for improvement is simplifying the initial deployment and policy tuning process. In large enterprise environments, configuring CASB and DLP policies across multiple SaaS platforms can become complex and time-consuming, especially when trying to balance security controls with user productivity. Another improvement in my view is related to the platform improving dashboard usability and investigation workflows. While the amount of data and visibility is valuable, some reporting and navigation areas can feel less intuitive than newer cloud-native security platforms. Another improvement opportunity, in my view, is alert tuning and noise reduction. Many security monitoring solutions require achieving the right balance between visibility and excessive alerting through continuous optimization. More intelligent prioritization and contextual risk scoring could help reduce analyst fatigue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is a fantastic tool; it is kind of expensive, but it is indispensable, and it is not something that we can do away with."
"The favorite feature of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is that it provides the whole information of a particular vulnerability, including a comprehensive summary, related CVEs and CVSS score, which helps understand potential risks and allows the output to be exported in various formats like CSV, PDF, or JSON."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is considered a good leader in its field."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is on the cusp of a lot of new advances that they bring to the table, which is what we also appreciate."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform was helpful with threat prioritization features for resource allocation, and it played a good role in our analysis and day-to-day monitoring."
"Qualys offers versatility. It can function both with and without agents, offering flexibility in deployment. Furthermore, it provides comprehensive support for various systems such as Windows Server, Unix servers, and databases, including SQL, Oracle, and others for development."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization by providing more compliance and more regulatory adherence."
"They provide a variety of options for scalability, where we can use it over the cloud, or we can deploy it on-premises through our proxy, and we can also use agent-based installation."
"The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has."
"It gives us visibility into how the data is being used within our cloud environment."
"It makes our work easier."
"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability."
"Having full control of infrastructure."
 

Cons

"Compared to Microsoft, there were already advanced tools, so I had seen some drawbacks compared to licensing or technical side."
"The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is expensive."
"There are areas for improvement in their support structure."
"Once we supplied 130 URLs to it for scanning one by one, and it crashed in between. We did not have any clue what happened, so we had to reach out to support."
"The report sometimes inaccurately identifies the corresponding operating system version."
"Even if you narrow down the scope of the report so that there is not too much data, when a report is generating, sometimes it will get hung; thus you have to delete it and run it again."
"The secure gateway could be improved."
"The services take some time to load. It would be helpful if the loading time was reduced."
"Skyhigh Security could be improved by offering the SD-WAN component, as SASE comprises two parts."
"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 tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"SkyHigh has the ability to place users or groups on a ‘Watchlist’; which allows you to see certain views with these Watchlists users/groups in them. This is great when you are looking at live data but if I wanted to generate a report on "only" the watchlists."
"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually. The price is reasonable."
"The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."
"Some of our clients have a perpetual license and pay additional support yearly."
"The solution's hardware is expensive."
"The tool is not expensive."
