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.

There are three things that I would say could be better. The first is the Change Control UI. I have noticed that the UI for Change Control is a bit difficult to navigate and assess, but I know that Tines is working on that and so hopefully we will see results soon. The second thing is the action called Implode. The issue with the Implode action is that once we get a certain number of events into the Implode action, we lose context of all the events except the last one that came in, so it is a bit difficult to send data back once it goes through the Implode action. I have raised this up with Tines, but I do not know if they are working on this or not. The third thing is the capacity to debug. If my story is not attached to a case, it is a bit difficult to debug if I run into an error. I have to identify the exact event that caused the error and then start debugging from there, so that is not entirely user-friendly. These are the three downfalls that I have noticed with Tines.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"Skybox is a great solution; I would absolutely recommend it to others."
"Understanding the real exposure from vulnerabilities and associated assets can reduce the time and investment needed to mitigate risks."
"All of these things have really helped us improve the security and network systems."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"Skybox Security is one of greatest solutions for this because you can see the firewall and the network infrastructure and you understand what's happening and how it could impact your cybersecurity."
"Overall, the tool has helped us reduce risks. If any step is missing, it's easier for my team or engineers to identify it. The tool provides accurate recommendations based on the data. Its integration is easy, and I have integrated it with Fortinet firewalls."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
"For an analyst, it would take at least one hour to two hours to get the result with this much perfection, but with Tines, it happens instantaneously."
 

Cons

"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about certain aspects and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"There are three things that I would say could be better."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the Skybox Security Suite can be expensive."
"The pricing is high, and the licensing model needs more flexibility."
"With licensing, the number of network nodes becomes very expensive to the point where you have to rationalize if the tools are warranted anymore."
"Skybox Security Suite has indeed helped us reduce costs. The prices of AlgoSec and Skybox Security Suite are approximately 50 percent different. The tool may require special vendor support from abroad, resulting in slightly higher costs. Its pricing is in the middle."
"Currently, the licensing costs me about $300 USD for the year. This is a huge amount for my environment."
"The pricing has increased exorbitantly in the last few years, so now it is questionable. Now, it makes me want to review other products."
"The solution is based on a subscription model for annual licenses."
"Skybox comes with extra licenses and has a change management license. The licenses are expensive, but they come with extra value."
