Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization by helping fill a need that was unaddressed at the time, especially as Cloud Access Security Brokers came out and were very popular around 2018.

Skyhigh Security positively impacted my organization by allowing us to get rid of the VPNs, which reduced the overhead for IT, and it meant we did not need as many licenses for the VPN software for all of the laptops.

In security posture, we have integrated Skyhigh Security with IBM QRadar, which is quite helpful to know how the activities are going, and if any critical or security events occur in Skyhigh Security, we are able to get those to our IBM QRadar, making it very much easier to monitor all the security events in our environment.

In my opinion, the best features of Skyhigh Security are that it is easy to recommend because it is not expensive like Symantec, and second is antivirus, and third, I think it is not heavy.

A faster procurement cycle has been achieved because we do not need to conduct a lot of proofs of value or proofs of concept, since they already know the solution.

One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved.

Skyhigh Security can be improved because their administrative dashboard frequently has issues; it is unresponsive, unusable, or very slow often.

Skyhigh Security can be improved, and the biggest problem they have is that they are still owned by private equity, which is a massive drain on them financially because of the debt burden that they share with their sister company, Trellix.

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.

Skyhigh Security can be improved by addressing the current challenges we face with complex DLP policies that are difficult to manage, particularly in managing the exception rules in a large environment.

I chose seven out of ten because Skyhigh Security has some problems with frequent updates on the SCP client, and there are some bugs.

It has many gaps, so I think some customers take three months and up to six months for the deployment of Skyhigh Security, and after the deployment, they use it for years.

One improvement I can suggest for Skyhigh Security is that a better resolution from the Professional Services team, apart from the support team, is needed because sometimes during the weekend, resolution takes time, and reaching out to the Professional Services team is complicated.

From my perspective as a distributor and based on my clients' feedback, Skyhigh Security is not stable.

Skyhigh Security can be improved as it lacks debugging capabilities.
