I use the solution on a Macintosh computer and it has issues and does not work when I try to log in from the Safari Browser, but it works fine when I log in from the Google Chrome browser. The console has issues when the login is done through a Safari Browser. The console has to be more competitive and the compatibility of the browser needs to be better. I want to know about Skyhigh's competitiveness with other brands and about the vulnerability assessment and micro segmentations. I know Skyhigh has other products, but right now, I am studying what this new product is about. They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support.

The stability of MVISION Cloud is fine. You can use whatever service with whatever number of users you want. There is a very good map to see all the services that you are receiving. You can always see what is happening, but the users never know if there is anything happening in the back end of the servers. We have approximately 15 users using this solution in my organization.

It integrates robustly with DLP, ensuring compliance and enhancing data governance.

Room for Improvement

Skyhigh Security encounters challenges with slow console performance, cumbersome custom attribute updates, and a non-intuitive user interface. Report generation can be sluggish and lacks flexibility, with issues running reports for watchlists. Integration with third-party products and better support for custom applications are needed. Training resources for Skyhigh Security are scarce, and performance optimization is essential. More browser compatibility, especially with Safari, would enhance user experience. There's also room for improved API integration and documentation.

"The feature that we would like to have is a hybrid environment, including both cloud and on-premises."
"There are no training videos available for the product."

Overall, users seem to experience advantages from long-term use, though some details regarding the exact return remain undisclosed or unspecified.

Pricing
