Skyhigh Security Reviews

We have 2 customers using McAfee Web Gateway. It is very useful as a complement to endpoint security. It is used to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic, as well as production.

McAfee has a very strong URL spam filtering feature.

McAfee Web Gateway has two kinds of solutions, one is for on-premises and the other is virtual. Their virtual solution is not as strong as their on-premises solution.

I am a reseller and partner of McAfee. I have been using McAfee Web Gateway for about 5 or 6 years.

It is a very stable solution.

McAfee offers good support.

The initial setup is not straightforward. You must know technology and networking. It would also be helpful if you have some expertise with McAfee products. If you have one person who is certified on McAfee products you can do the setup yourself.

It took approximately 3 days to deploy and implement 2 boxes on-premises. It then takes 5 to 10 days to fine-tune it. In total it takes about two weeks to set up.

Compared to other solutions and their prices, it is a bit on the costly side. However, it is not out of reach. Our customers pay a yearly license.

Although it is costly, I would recommend this solution to anyone. I would rate it a 9 out of 10.

We primarily use the solution for security purposes. We specifically use it for endpoint protection.

The product has a very high rating from reviewers. It's a well-respected product.

The initial setup is pretty simple.

We've found the scalability potential to be good. Technical support is often helpful.

The solution is stable and the performance is good.

We haven't really had any issues with the solution. There isn't really any aspect that is lacking.

I've been using McAfee for about ten or more years at this point. It's been about a decade. it's been a while. However, for this particular solution, it's likely been for about a year. We installed it in 2020.

The stability has been good so far. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. The performance is good.

The scalability seems to be good. A company that would like to expand it, should be able to do si without issues. 

Technical support is okay. It's fine, however, it is not consistent.

The implementation is very straightforward and very simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. If a company needs to set it up, they shouldn't have any problems.

We looked at Trend Micro as well. We compared it to McAfee and found that McAfee was rated much higher. Due to the higher rating, we went with McAfee. 

We are just a customer and an end-user. We do not have a business relationship with McAfee.

We really like the company, however, and have used them for a long time. We've used them on-premises and recently moved to the cloud.

Next year, we are preparing to use a new feature of McAfee - an EDR feature.

Overall, we have been extremely satisfied with this solution. I'd give it five stars. On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the solution at a ten.

We use this product for enterprise cloud security. My role is in strategy and security.

We were using MVISION for data protection.

The most valuable feature is the support. It's the best.

MVISION has a really good strategy and the CASB solution is excellent.

We used McAfee MVISION Cloud for two years, but have recently stopped using it.

This is a stable product.

It is definitely scalable.

The support is excellent.

Prior to MVISION, we used dedicated security tools like endpoint protection, virus scan, and so forth.

This is an expensive product, but you have to compare that with other solutions that are on the market. We have a good relationship with McAfee and have a lot of their products, so we do not pay the same price that an end-user would.

We are currently evaluating another product and will not be using MVISION in the future. One of the products that we are looking at is MVISION for the cloud.

We evaluated Netskope, but we were offered a better price for MVISION.

Personally, I have always found that McAfee has good products. This is a product that I recommend. My advice is to compare this product against other solutions to ensure that you receive the features that you want.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are currently using Skyhigh Security with Office 365. We are, however, looking for another similar tool to be able to compare capacities with Skyhigh Security.

Our primary use case is the protection of sensitive information.

The feature I found most valuable is the API.

I think that the User Interface could be improved.

In the next release, I would like to see some seeking functions so we can see origination.

I have been using this solution for about two years.

My impression is that the stability of this solution is good.

My impression is that it's easy to scale this solution. In my opinion, this solution is most suitable for medium-sized businesses.

We have compared solutions and in our opinion, Skyhigh has a good spot on the market as it's a good solution.

My impression is that the initial setup process is both straightforward and complex.

I would rate this solution as a whole an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. I would recommend this solution to other people.

We use this solution for controlling web content that the users are accessing. It's very good in case situations where you have the use of a VPN connection.

You can control your employees when they are in the office and out of the office, without using a VPN in the same fashion.

The on-premise solution will control them when they are on the corporate network, and when they're off the corporate network, the cloud's gateway will control them. They have the same policies.

It's a great product with solid features.

It's a security appliance and it is quite secure.

They are quite well integrated.

The documentation could be improved. The documentation could be more detailed with more examples of usage.

We have been selling McAfee Web Gateway for four years.

Deployment can be on-premises or on the cloud.

It is a very stable solution.

I don't have any issues with the scalability. You have to do the sizing before they implement it afterward. 

You have other solutions that have to increase the volume of usage.

We have several large clients that are using it.

We are satisfied with technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to install.

If the client has a lot of demands and depending on their structure or the client's requests, it can be complex to configure.  In general, it is straightforward and easy to configure.

Some of our clients have a perpetual license and pay additional support yearly. 

We don't have any customers that are using subscriptions yet.

I wouldn't say that it is an expensive solution but it's not cheap. We pay for what it's worth.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate McAfee Web Gateway a nine out of ten.

If you don't need an on-premises console for central management, this solution works very well. That's its main benefit. It's useful for companies that have a workforce that is dispersed as opposed to in a central location.

The solution is very easy to use. It's easy to navigate.

The product has proven itself to be very stable.

The solution is scalable.

We find it to be quite flexible.

Overall, the performance is good.

Due to the fact that it's in the cloud, you don't have to maintain it. It's maintained by McAfee. You don't need to worry about updates and upgrades.

McAfee needs to add more products that could be managed from the cloud. At the moment, not all of their endpoint products can be managed from this console. I'd like McAfee endpoint products to be managed from the cloud console. It's my understanding that they do plan to do this. It's just a matter of time. 

There are still a lot of customers who are demanding on-premise solutions. That's the situation on the ground here. People do not easily switch to cloud products. They're sticking to on-premise solutions so that they can fully control their IT. 

We've been using the solution for a few years at this point. We've used it pretty much since it's been in the market.

The solution is quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good.

The product scales quite well. If you need to expand the solution you can.

We have several customers on the product currently.

We would like to increase usage, however, in Serbia, many clients still prefer on-premises solutions.

We don't have a need to use technical support a lot, as we are doing the support for our customers, mainly. However, when we have a ticket, they solve it in a normal amount of time. I'm satisfied. I haven't had any issues at all.

There is no installation due to the fact that everything is in the cloud. You can do the installation on the end points, however, that's normal.

We're resellers. We can assist our clients in the implementation.

Customers do need to pay a licensing fee in order to use the solution. I cannot speak to the exact price.

We are resellers. We have clients using the product.

I'd recommend the solution to others. I would rate it at a nine out of ten overall.

We primarily use the solution for security purposes. McAfee in general is very good for that.

The solution is stable. The performance has been great.

It's an easy-to-use product. We find it to be quite user-friendly.

The scalability of the product is excellent. 

Overall, we have been very happy with the product. It's been working well.

The installation was straightforward and pretty simple. 

The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable. 

I"ve been using the solution only for a couple of months at this point. It hasn't been a long period of time just yet. It's still new to me.

The product is quite stable and we have found the performance to be good. It doesn't crash or freeze. there are no bugs or glitches. We are happy with its capabilities.

The solution can scale if you need it to. A company shouldn't have any issues expanding it.

We have one or two customers that use it at this time.

We've been satisfied with technical support overall. They have been helpful and responsive. We have no complaints in terms of their overall capabilities.

The initial setup was not overly complex or difficult. It was straightforward. We found it simple. A company shouldn't face any issues with the implementation.

The solution could improve the cost a bit.

You do need to have a license in order to use the solution. I cannot speak to the exact costs.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall. We are pretty happy with its capabilities and have no complaints. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

The solution is basically it's a cloud access security broker. It's basically the leading cloud access security broker in the market. If you are talking about getting controlling access to AWS, Azure or Google cloud, or most of the major cloud providers, they can integrate that to help protect an organization from data loss, breaches, or from unauthorized access in general.

I actually had an encounter with a government entity. They had a lot of their staff leaking government data, and they were using a website, a known website called WeTransfer. It's a Chinese website that's used to transfer big files without you needing to create an account. Users in the company were basically, whenever they wanted to transfer files, doing it through this site and unintentionally leaking data.

This week, the POC installed the McAfee web gateway, integrated the MVISION Cloud, and got insights. A lot of their business was done on WhatsApp within their systems. An yet, until this moment, they had no visibility over this. Now they have it. Now they know, and they can initiate changes.

What I really like about the product is something called the ability to view the sanctioned IP apps, which is a major challenge for organizations today. There are sanctioned IP apps or unsanctioned IP apps. In an organization, you will find employees that will use services or applications for the business, which are not authorized by the IT department, and the organization fails to have visibility over this.

What McAfee can provide is full details into what your users are doing on the cloud. For example, lots of employees may be using WhatsApp for conducting critical business workflows, and yet their organization is not permitting them to use WhatsApp. Without a solution such as this, the company will never find out if they actually are using WhatsApp and to what rates. With MVISION Cloud and their web gateway, companies basically get visibility and insights into what their users are using on the cloud.

The product has the ability to provide insights and also to advise on misconfigurations on the cloud. For example, I may be a cloud customer and I'm using IS workloads or infrastructure and service workloads on Azure. I may have object storage configured on Azure, however, this object storage didn't get secured properly. It was publicly open. The system can suggest changes to alert you to this item and advise on how to fix the issue.

With MVISION Cloud, you can actually get detection notices. It will notify you, tell you, hey, be careful. You have object storage that is open to the public. You should lock it down, should have restricted access. You should have some credentials here or there. It will basically act like an advisor for your cloud configuration as well. This is what I really like about it, to be honest. It can tell you if something can go wrong before it happens. It allows you to fix things before situations can get out of hand.

In terms of their compatibility with major cloud providers, in terms of their abilities, capabilities, and features, they exceed everyone's capabilities in the CASB market.

Their integration capabilities are vast. They seem to be able to integrate all major clouds. 

The solution is very stable.

The solution can scale.

Technical support has been very helpful.

The solution is the leader in the market right now. It's hard to consider where it falls short, as it is so far ahead of everything else.

One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps. That can be room for improvement.

I'd love to see an on-prem version of the product. Instead of McAfee providing the service, it should be also software available for customers in the market to install on their data centers.

The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues with it. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

It's not software that you can install. Scalability is on McAfee's end. It's not on the end-user or the partner or any of them, as it's a cloud service basically. However, it scales to meet your company's needs.

We have about ten customers currently using the solution.

Technical support has been very good. It's amazing, especially for the MVISION Cloud portfolio as it's a different team. In general, it's good. We are quite satisfied with their level of support.

You don't install the solution. The dashboard comes from McAfee Cloud. You just integrate it with your cloud, and you enter your credentials to your cloud providers. If you want, you can integrate it with an on-premise McAfee web gateway to get insights, shadow IP, sanction IT apps, look for unsanctioned apps, and whatnot. However, it's not software that you can take and install wherever you like. It's a service, basically. 

Honestly speaking, there is no competitor for MVISION Cloud. There are competitors in the market, of course, in the CASB market, lots of them. However, there's no one that's reached the level of MVISION Cloud just yet.

I don't have much experience with McAfee MVISION Cloud, however, I do have a good understanding of it. I also managed to pitch it and demo it to one customer and sold it a couple of times. 

It's originally not a McAfee product. It belonged to a company called Skyhigh before, which was acquired by McAfee. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I don't believe in perfect solutions, however, this is quite good. I haven't ever seen anything quite like it. 

I'd recommend it to other users. If a company is having workloads on the cloud, whether it be on Office 365 or AWS or Azure or Google cloud or IBM cloud, whatever cloud, it's highly recommended for them to at least consider MVISION Cloud as it can really help them secure their access to their cloud workloads. Especially those customers who have a hybrid cloud. They will most likely want a CASB that will be able to manage both clouds from the same dashboard.
