We performed a comparison between Netskope and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The solution is stable."
"It's a comprehensive security portfolio solution."
"It is a very scalable tool."
"The most valuable features were related to discovery, data protection, and ensuring compliance with regulations."
"A very straightforward interface."
"Netskope's control is user-friendly and comprehensible. It also helps in conveying information effectively as a company, making it crucial for customer satisfaction."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the support is very good and the dashboards are easy and intuitive to use."
"The most valuable feature of Netskope is protection."
"Their technical support is very good."
"The most valuable feature is load balancing."
"SD-WAN is cloud-based and you can manage multiple sites within one single pane of glass."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic multipath optimization."
"The service they provide is very stable and is the main influencer of why customers purchase this solution."
"In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is flexibility. It is more flexible than other vendors."
"They make use of a combination of different internet lines, which improves quality."
"Some of the best features are the SD-WAN platform for VMware and the NSX network virtualization."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"The configuration in the cloud model could be improved upon."
"If we need to allow a process that is blocked by Netskope, we have to manually check the logs to see why it is blocked. This can be time-consuming and inefficient"
"Support services could definitely be improved. Support is the one area that can always use improvement. It's an evolving thing, so based on demand and based on market requirement and the way market is moving towards."
"The configuration and user behaviour analytics can be improved."
"I would like to have an identity theft protection function."
"The solution is still pretty new to the CASB environment."
"It should have user behavior analysis and diverse analysis."
"In terms of improvements, enhancing support, particularly for OEM support with quicker response times would be beneficial."
"Its integration with the security systems would be a nice implementation. They can also consider using a management platform for both network and security operations. This would be a great improvement."
"VeloCloud needs improvement in terms of its security features."
"The only thing that I'm having issues with is on one of the sites, I can't see the location on the map."
"Reporting is an area that can be improved, as there are some features that are lacking with the reporting aspect."
"In the future, we would like to have more capacity using this solution as there are limitations on the VCE. For example, only 50 tunnels can be supported currently but we would like to have 200 tunnels using the VeloCloud VCE device."
"It needs better security."
"VeloCloud could improve its integration capabilities with other solutions."
"They need to start focusing on the security functionality. They should find a way to embed the next-generation firewall functionality within the architecture. They should move more into applying SASE tenants to what they're doing."
