The best features Skyhigh Security offers, in my view, include centralized cloud visibility combined with strong data protection controls. It gives security teams a clear view of how users interact with SaaS applications while also allowing granular policy enforcement for sensitive data across platforms such as Microsoft 365, Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint.

Regarding the centralized visibility, it makes it much easier to understand what is happening across cloud platforms without needing to jump between separate admin consoles, for example. Instead of manually reviewing activities inside each SaaS application individually, security teams can monitor user behavior, file sharing activities, policy violations, and risk actions from a more unified view. This improves investigation speed because analysts can quickly correlate events and identify unusual behavior patterns without losing time gathering information from different tools.

From a management perspective, it also improves communication between security, compliance, and infrastructure teams because everyone is working from a more consistent set of visibility and reporting data.

Skyhigh Security is a good product that is very easy to integrate with any tools, and the dashboards are user-friendly and easy to understand. One valuable feature is the ability to identify SSL certificate expirations within one tool, which most other tools do not offer.

Skyhigh Security has positively impacted the organization by helping manage DLP incidents, allowing for customizable dashboards based on requirements, and preventing unauthorized access.

The best features Skyhigh Security offers are their Shadow IT visibility and Cloud Catalog, which are probably the best in the industry. Their ability to agentlessly enable access for managed devices is great.

The Shadow IT visibility and Cloud Catalog have helped my team by allowing us to move faster with allowing access from all different types of devices, phones and computers, because the agentless portion was beneficial since we did not have to deploy an agent. Their cloud catalog has over 30,000 cloud services and detailed risk ratings and helped us surface use cases that we did not know about that we needed to address.

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. We did not have a standardized set of tools for visibility and control of cloud services, so aggregating Shadow IT logs in one place for visibility was new and powerful.

The best features that Skyhigh Security offers are their newer Zero Trust access so that you do not need VPNs and you can access your files from anywhere without having to go through a lot of configuration by the end user.

The Zero Trust feature specifically helped my team or organization before we thought about putting sensitive information onto SharePoint in the cloud, so we wanted all of the sensitive information on-premise. By going through their Zero Trust interface, we effectively had single sign-on to the internal network remotely without a VPN, so it reduced the overhead and gave us faster access to the files.

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. With the vast majority working remotely, this was a significant cost saving.

We have nearly 900 plus branches here, where we have rerouted our traffic through proxy like Trellix Skyhigh Security. We operate in a major financial sector in India, and that is why we use Skyhigh Security to reroute all our traffic via proxy for our security. Only then will it reach our gateway. We monitor all the URLs and the plant IPs in our proxy.

We are tracing those IPs to see whether they have a valid code or not. We also check with Trellix Sandbox to determine whether the URL is malicious or not. Additionally, we have included our Cisco Umbrella with our proxy, so the DNS resolution happens on our Umbrella side. We continuously monitor the traffic on our proxy side.

The threat protection feature is a major useful thing because for our 900 branches we monitor with this proxy only. If any issue or any URL does not reach, it is quite helpful to check whether the issue is in the proxy side or in the actual end-user side. It is quite easy to monitor. We do not get all those things from the firewall end, and it is quite easy to gather that information from the proxy, which is a major benefit here. It also majorly helps to hide our actual IPs, as we have directed all the IPs from the proxy, making it very helpful to hide our internal servers.

The best features of Skyhigh Security are the screen share, the policy part, and the visibility it provides for the integration part, giving us good visibility while using Skyhigh.

These features help me in my daily work by reading from the back-end and giving us full control on the analyzing part, which keeps the visibility for the incidents.

Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to discover the Shadow IT concept and identify unauthorized cloud applications or integrations, helping us maintain compliance and governance.

The impact of Skyhigh Security can be seen in improved analytics, governance, and the identification of shadow IT parts, leading to fewer security incidents.

In my opinion, the best feature Skyhigh Security offers is the DLP capabilities and visibility into cloud. The CSPM was a good feature, and app control for SaaS applications was also good.

The visibility and EAP capabilities help provide a clear view of user activity. For example, it made it easier to identify risk access patterns, understand which users were interacting with sensitive data, and apply the right controls before the risk becomes a bigger issue on the client.

The best description is that it helps the security team respond faster to risk behaviors and give more confidence when managing sensitive data across SaaS applications.

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. It is actually very flexible, so I think that is the opportunity since it is not resource-intensive. This price is reasonable, so what I mean is their strength, what they can tell the customer is that they have this technology, but it is not that expensive, and something like that can be their strength compared to other proxies because today, everything is so expensive.

The best features Skyhigh Security offers in my experience would be its user interface, which is very good among other competitors. In addition, its support team and the real-time GTA engine are working very well.

The user interface is simple and easy to understand, and we can handle it well when compared to other competitors. The support team provides day-zero and day-one resolution much quicker, and they assist us in an easier manner.

Since Skyhigh Security was implemented one year ago, I have noticed positive impacts on my organization. Although there were a few challenges, the support team and the Professional Services team managed them well. I see many challenges regarding day-to-day use cases where we need to fine-tune those policies and a few exceptional challenges where the support team and Professional Services team have helped us.

Regarding compliance, Skyhigh Security met all the compliance requirements at Gail, and it is very well managed by the Professional Services team initially. After that, there were a few challenges regarding minor and major issues, but those were handled and executed well.

In my opinion, the best feature Skyhigh Security offers is its ability to perform deep TLS interception to take action based on that analysis. Deep TLS inspection is a very valuable technology to have with your device.

Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization by providing more compliance and more regulatory adherence.

I find that we were using Skyhigh Security as a stable and scalable platform; after setting up, it was running smoothly with very little downtime. The Skyhigh Security reports and analytics were also very useful for monitoring and troubleshooting.

In my experience, the best features Skyhigh Security offers include the capability of the Skyhigh Security dashboard to help monitor security threats, and it works well with very large enterprise environments. Skyhigh Security policies are very flexible and useful for large organizations, with features including web security and cloud access control being very helpful as well.

Out of all those features, I find myself relying the most on the dashboard, as it gives the complete picture of the cloud applications we are using.

Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization; before using it, we needed to monitor cloud applications including Office 365 and other applications such as Facebook manually. After we started using Skyhigh Security, through the dashboard, we are able to control user monitoring, access control, and everything else effectively.

When I mention flexibility in applying policy, it works for me because I have a device provided by the company, but I can take that device to my personal infrastructure, such as personal hotspots or Wi-Fi. Accordingly, those policies should be implemented where I am right now. It is flexible regarding where your device is and which user is using that device. Accordingly, the policy will be applied.

Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization by easing my day-to-day job in managing policies and users. If there is an outrage in terms of a policy change, who changed it, or why a certain website is not working, it is very easy to troubleshoot because I have those reporting systems.

Troubleshooting has become easier with Skyhigh Security. For example, if a certain website is not working, I can easily see where it is failing. During the initial handshake, TCP handshake, or DNS, I can identify if the issue is due to a certificate or a policy. If I discuss the policy, I can determine which policy it is—web filter, application filter, or DLP policy.

Skyhigh Security has all the mainstream features available in the market and offers both hardware and cloud usability. The hardware and cloud usability features help my team by providing easy scalability, which is the main advantage, and it is beneficial to have both options as there has been a shift from hardware to cloud traffic.

Skyhigh Security has positively impacted our organization by helping us secure our network better, secure our HTTP traffic, and assist in compliance with GDPR and HIPAA requirements, especially since we are a health-based company.

I find the browsing feature security in Skyhigh Security most valuable; we mainly used it for Forward Proxy.

Skyhigh Security's analytics were providing decent information with respect to top usage, user-wise, and device-wise, and if there are any blacklisted websites being accessed, we used to get notifications, which was helpful.

The best features of Skyhigh Security include the on-premises Secure Web Gateway, which is appliance-based. This is particularly valuable for government customers who prefer not to use cloud solutions. Remote Browser Isolation is also excellent.

Skyhigh Security positively impacts our organization by providing category-based blocking. Users can easily block specific website categories such as gambling sites, and policies can be applied based on these categories.

As a global distributor for Skyhigh Security, this is a strong product to pitch to customers. Our customers are satisfied and are enjoying the product features. Deployment is straightforward, and the console is user-friendly.

Data loss prevention and user behavior analysis are two valuable features. If a customer's password has been compromised, we can then recognize and authorize its login from another country, and we can block it.

The solution provides great security, higher availability, and policy granularity. Its integration with Active Directory and troubleshooting are important. The solution also provides easy integration and implementation.

Skyhigh Security is not a bad product. It was a market leader. When McAfee acquired it, it was in the top magic quadrant. It is a good product.

I also like that McAfee has been in the endpoint security market for quite a long time and knows how things work.

What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability.

The solution also has good KB articles that make it simple for users to do the deployment of Skyhigh Security themselves, without the need for integrators.

The solution's best feature is the flexibility of use.

I personally don't have any issues with the performance or the stability of the solution. However, I am not the only person using this tool, and I can't speak for other colleagues using it.

Skyhigh performs well, and we can choose from virtual and hardware plans. We can deploy the ISO on as many virtual machines as possible and easily set up high availability on the web proxy. The location doesn't matter. The user at a site will always access the web proxy for that location. It's suitable for an organization distributed across multiple regions. 

The reporting is also straightforward, which is handy for troubleshooting. You can do live tracing and check the log to see the traffic on a particular IP to determine what happened. You can configure it to say certain websites are blocked by default. If traffic is allowed, you can trace the issue and fix it. The backup features are highly efficient. 

The product enables us to scan files for viruses and vulnerabilities. The threat protection capabilities are very strong. The product handles our compliance and governance challenges well. It enhances our security.

Skyhigh offers solutions like WLP and CASB. These tools provide instructions and guidelines for enhancing data security. Additionally, they offer additional software solutions for further protection.

The feature I like best about Skyhigh Security is its wide range of product support. For example, my company had NetApp storage running, and Skyhigh Security has on-premises NetApp storage support, which isn't available in other solutions.

Skyhigh Security also has a better filtering feature versus the filtering feature in other solutions.

The most valuable features of McAfee Web Gateway are anti-malware, reports, and powerful categorization of web pages.

The stability is the most valuable feature. We haven't had any issues with the product.

It's easy to configure. It's not hard to manage day to day.

What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis.

A lot of people sell the solution, including Palo Alto. You've got Skyhigh Networks, which was the leader of CASB and then they were acquired by McAfee, and then now they've broken off into Skyhigh Security. They still have the CASB and they're still considered a market leader. 

They were very, very aggressive in the market to get a new market share or to take over market share while other companies were being broken up.

It's a really easy product. It is a pretty straightforward product. The only thing that Skyhigh doesn't is what Palo Alto does - they don't do any kind of a software-defined WAN, SD-WAN. If you have different circuits to utilize different bandwidth across different media and also set up redundancy links and that kind of stuff, that's all the SD-WAN. They do not have SD-WAN, Skyhigh Security does not have SD-WAN. Palo Alto does.

They were real big on the secure services, edge SSE and zero-trust network architecture type deployments. A lot of that stuff coming out of the networking and when things moved to a cloud, you have what's called sanction IP, which is basically, what we always knew as an internal network in all the security and firewalls and everything about that and then as things moved to the cloud, business to business type stuff and then you start having what's called shadow IP. That's when you have to build all the firewall policy infrastructure in the cloud to emulate what we were doing down inside of a business, connecting servers or PCs or network switches and that kind of stuff. However, infrastructure as a service is doing the same type of functions yet they're cloud services and not physical network services, or switches, meaning there's no mounting it in the rack and that kind of stuff.

The most valuable features of MVISION Cloud are the automatic reports and modification incidents.

McAfee has a very strong URL spam filtering feature.

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 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.

The cloud security features are the most valuable. The solution significantly helps in enhancing security management. It also contributes to operational cost savings.

The feature I found most valuable is the API.

I like the encrypted disk feature and the endpoint protection.

It's a great product with solid features.

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

They are quite well integrated.

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.

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. 

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.

They provide a variety of options for scalability, where we can use it over the cloud, or we can deploy it on-premises through our proxy. We can also use agent-based installation. Together, from a coverage point of view, the solution is pretty good. The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has.

I like the anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities. I also like the ability to control what kinds of files or content can be downloaded. So you can restrict executables and potential harmful files. It's a very sophisticated and mature solution. 

The most valuable feature is the SSL decryption.

The most valuable feature for us is the integration with DLP. 

Predominantly, there are two valuable features: One is the data loss and the other one is network loss. 

It also prevents you from writing data to your Gmail and does not allow you to move your data outside of the corporate system. That is the most important feature for me.

There is one feature called data governance that shows all the cloud services which are used.

There is another one called cloud registry where we can see a risk assessment for the cloud services being used. If we want to add a new cloud service or a new cloud application, we can check into it and do an assessment through the cloud registry. That is the feature that I like most.

The risk management feature.

The risk rating of each cloud application has been very useful. Whenever we discover a new application is use, we are able to quickly determine if this application is safe to use and whether or not we should allow our end users to be able to access it.

Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs.

Currently, we are using cloud discovery and analytics. This has given us an insight to which services our end users are subscribing to and where our business data may be held.

Box API access with DLP capabilities

Shadow IT

It has a very user-friendly UI and is easier to pick up for people with less technical experience.

Skyhigh's shadow IT capability and cloud risk registry are the two most helpful tools for our organization.

The most valuable feature of Skyhigh networks is the capability of giving an overview of all active cloud services on our network. Skyhigh analyzes syslog data from our firewall, and returns a report of the cloud service usage on our network. In other words, this takes the 'shadow' out of Shadow IT. It sheds some light on the current situation.

The report returned by Skyhigh not only shows which cloud services are in use, but also gives each individual cloud service a risk assessment in terms of risks associated with the service. The categories are Data Risk, User Risk, Legal Risk and Business Risk. With this overview of the associated risk for cloud services on our network, we can make some very conscious decisions about how we want to shape which services are used on the network. We can make sure that we offer safe alternatives to the services already in use. We want all our users to use cloud services, so that we can stay agile and flexible, but we also want to make sure we don't take any unnecessary risk.

Skyhigh furthers the protection of our sanctioned cloud services. Once we make a decision on which services we feel are a good match for our company, we can add extra protection to those services in the form of monitoring and threat prevention. Skyhigh can make sure that all data we put in our sanctioned cloud service is compliant with our company policy as well, as industry regulations. In other words, if one of our users accidentally puts data in the cloud that isn't compliant, we can remove this data before it causes problems. This is a win for our users and the company as a whole.

Skyhigh also monitors the usage of our sanctioned cloud services. They can spot any abnormal activity, such as users logging in from several different countries in a short period of time, or other suspicious activity.

The ability to identify shadow IT within our environment through proxy log analysis based on risk assessments provided by Skyhigh Registry have been invaluable in helping us reduce our overall data risk

The broader solution is quite useful. They provide service management for a variety of environments, including Office 365, Google, AWS, and Azure. 

It offers very good protection overall.

The management is very good.

We're able to provide the customer with best practices for coding.

It is a stable product.

Technical support is helpful.

The pricing is reasonable. 

It is easy to configure rules.
