Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace."
"Skyhigh Security is user-friendly in terms of configuration and UI."
"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."
"It's an easy-to-use product."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"All the information available on each service, including its risk assessment."
"The solution performs well."
"There is [a feature] 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."
"The solution provides great security, higher availability, and policy granularity."
 

Cons

"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
"There are several features, such as supporting web technologies, that the company is working on implementing in the platform. There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
"The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP."
"The performance of the tool can be improved to provide faster report generation."
"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."
"It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"Though the Skyhigh Dashboard is processing large amounts of data, the speed of the Dashboard could be improved."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is okay, though there's always a scope for price improvements. Its pricing is okay compared to other products because other products have very expensive licensing costs. Along with the licensing, support is also provided for Skyhigh Security, so pricing is reasonable, but if there's proactive or better support, that will justify the pricing. I haven't interacted with the Skyhigh Security technical support team yet, so I'd give pricing a four out of five rating for now."
"The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license."
"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."
"This is an expensive product, although it is made for larger enterprises and not for small organizations."
"They definitely charge a huge amount. All the security service providers charge a huge amount."
"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."
"The solution's hardware is expensive."
"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."
