Centralized cloud security has improved DLP incident management and simplifies email protection
One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved. More customized columns and filtering options in incident review would be beneficial. File types should be included, such as file names along with file extensions, which are not currently available to my knowledge. Overall, Skyhigh Security is very good and just needs to improve in terms of the latency of downloading incidents.

Great for hybrid workers, minimizes latency and delivers great performance
We haven't encountered major issues with the solution. We are really happy that we decided to purchase Venn Software, although they are quite new. The initial setup is seamless. It's not overly complex. In our experience, for the most part, the solution is reliable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches. That said, the performance could be a bit better. We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities. The solution needs to offer better local or regional support to cater to offshore users.

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 very sophisticated and mature solution."
"User analytics."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and easy to perform."
"The solution provides great security, higher availability, and policy granularity."
"I find the browsing feature security in Skyhigh Security most valuable; we mainly used it for Forward Proxy."
"Now, the stability and speed are greatly improved."
"It makes our work easier."
"We use this solution for controlling web content that the users are accessing, and you can control your employees when they are in the office and out of the office, without using a VPN in the same fashion."
"Since the software is launched directly from the computer, not remotely delivered, it has minimized latency and response time."
"We don't need to go to the physical office, and it only requires minimal supervision or assistance from our IT Team."
"It allows us to improve our security and prevent company files and data leaks."
 

Cons

"It is an expensive solution."
"When compared to other technologies, Skyhigh Security is quite simple, but if there is any improvement in the GUI, it will be quite easy for us because it looks a legacy interface."
"Sometimes the console performance is slow and updating custom attributes can be cumbersome as you have to do each attribute for a cloud service individually, then click the popup box to continue."
"Though the Skyhigh Dashboard is processing large amounts of data, the speed of the Dashboard could be improved."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"Skyhigh Security is complex to manage. While it should ideally be more user-friendly, customers often find themselves having to manage it post-deployment."
"The solution has room for improvement in its DDoS protection."
"The documentation could be improved."
"It would be better to have the back end more efficient."
"We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities."
"Currently, Venn only uses two platforms/applications: Windows and Mac. It would be great if they could also add more platforms since some BYOD employees might be using an application other than Windows or Mac - for example, Linux."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."
"The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."
"They definitely charge a huge amount. All the security service providers charge a huge amount."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually. The price is reasonable."
"Some of our clients have a perpetual license and pay additional support yearly."
"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."
