Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively
Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Tool identifies vulnerabilities and monitors connectivity effectively
Skybox Security Suite was a very good tool for my organization. I used it for monitoring connectivity between internal and external sites, monitoring our AWS instances, and ensuring workstations and Layer 3 devices met security specifications. The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches, but unfortunately, operations ceased before completing a migration to SaaS.

Pros

"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."
"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."
"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."
"The platform provides insight and context from many threat logs and prioritizes them."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"Skybox is a great solution; I would absolutely recommend it to others."
"We use Network Assurance for network visualisation and troubleshooting."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"The revalidation and policy recertifications are most valuable."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
 

Cons

"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."
"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"During implementation, we realised approximately 30 devices were not supported by the Skybox platform​."
"Skybox should improve their UX features by making them easier to use."
"The solution needs to move improve its interface to a full web browser version that is more accessible and doesn't require installation for use."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"The stability is something that is questionable. Maybe once a month, or once in every 45 days, it requires a restart because the application fails to connect."
"The only place where Skybox has room for improvement, and they're working on releasing this, it's just a slow-go, is the UI. The user interface has historically been via a locally installed thick client. They are moving to a web-based console and it's slowly coming out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."
"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."
"I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is high, and the licensing model needs more flexibility."
"The software is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"I've seen the pricing of every solution on the market. When you compare apples to apples, where Skybox becomes exceedingly expensive is if you look at it compared to something like FireMon that only does a fraction of what Skybox does. But if you include everything that Skybox does, it becomes way more expensive than the competition, but you're also not comparing apples to apples. If you look at FireMon, and you look at like just the firewall assurance piece, they are fairly comparable and, actually, Skybox comes in a little bit cheaper in some cases, depending on which product you're looking at."
"I rate the pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is cost-effective."
"It's expensive."
"Skybox comes with extra licenses and has a change management license. The licenses are expensive, but they come with extra value."
"The solution is based on a subscription model for annual licenses."
