Provides insight and context from multiple threat logs and prioritizes remediation
Pros and Cons
  • "Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."

    What is our primary use case?

    Aside from Firewall Assurance, we use Vulnerability Control and Change Manager to prioritize and focus on key risks.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Focuses resources on business-critical remediation, as opposed to remediation that is quantity-based.

    What is most valuable?

    The platform provides insight and context from many threat logs and prioritizes them. 

    There is not anything on the market that 

    • correlates logs and threats and prioritizes 
    • provides network maps
    • provides change result context and resulting vulnerability 

    for the network/enterprise.

    What needs improvement?

    As a reseller, I feel the marketing of this product could be better. It seems awareness is a bit low. We are trying to get the message out. I equate it to the early Palo Alto Networks days, where we had to market the concept of what a next-gen firewall was before we could get customers to buy in.

    Prioritizes associated risk from identified vulnerabilities, making them easier to manage

    What is our primary use case?

    We use it for Vulnerability Management.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Standard scanning solutions are not able to give any priority in terms of associated risk from identified vulnerabilities. Understanding the real exposure from vulnerabilities and associated assets can reduce the time and investment needed to mitigate risks.

    Also, by reducing the number of vulnerabilities that have to be analyzed and managed we have the chance to create a process of management.

    What is most valuable?

    Identifies direct exposed vulnerabilities.

    What needs improvement?

    Firewall Change Management has to be improved with rules provisioning on firewalls because that is where the competition is going and is what customers need.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    More than five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    No issues with stability.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    No issues with scalability.

    How is customer service and technical support?

    Technical support is good.

    How was the initial setup?

    Initial setup was simple because we approached the project in small steps.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing is okay.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We evaluated Tufin, Algosec for Firewall Assurance. We did not evaluate other products for VC.

    What other advice do I have?

    Involve network, security, and operations at the same table for smooth project startup.

    Provides us with complete visibility of a client's network
    Pros and Cons
    • "It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."

      What is our primary use case?

      In my personal experience, I use a Skybox to do some proof of concept for clients. We show characteristics about how the client can connect their firewalls and network.

      Within our company, three employees use this solution to run tests.

      What is most valuable?

      Skybox is a very busy environment because it shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything. When I see an issue, Skybox allows me to create a new ticket to redirect to the pertinent area.

      What needs improvement?

      Honestly, I love this solution. As of now, although I have a minimum amount of experience with this solution, Skybox has been great.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using this solution for six months.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      This solution is very stable.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      As we are new to this solution, we haven't attempted to scale it yet.

      How are customer service and technical support?

      We haven't had to contact technical support yet. 

      How was the initial setup?

      The initial setup was very easy. It took us one week to deploy it.

      What about the implementation team?

      A developer helped install this solution — he was great.

      What other advice do I have?

      Skybox is a great solution; I would absolutely recommend it to others. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      On-premises

      A security posture management platform that's easy to deploy, but the cloud site could be better
      Pros and Cons
      • "Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
      • "The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."

      What is our primary use case?

      Our customers use it to control their network environment, firewall, and vulnerability equipment.

      What is most valuable?

      Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful. 

      What needs improvement?

      The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Skybox Security Suite for about one year.

      How was the initial setup?

      The initial setup isn't so easy because many of our customers have issues getting all the configurations right. It's very complex.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      I think the price is fair.

      What other advice do I have?

      On a scale from one to ten, I would give Skybox Security Suite a seven.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      On-premises
