Provides visibility and control over all APIs
I've built integrations for different systems, and some specific integrations might not be built in yet. This might be an issue for large customers but is not a major concern overall. So, the integration part could be a bit extended. Every organization has different systems, but Salt integrates with 90% of them. If a custom integration is needed, they can build it. They're very good at integrations. So, Salt Security can provide a proof of concept with system integration and share results within two weeks, which often leads to customer purchases. At this point, the product covers everything needed. They keep adding new features, and my local customers haven't requested any missing functionality. The product roadmap is good for the market.

Tool identifies vulnerabilities and monitors connectivity effectively
Skybox Security Suite was a very good tool for my organization. I used it for monitoring connectivity between internal and external sites, monitoring our AWS instances, and ensuring workstations and Layer 3 devices met security specifications. The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches, but unfortunately, operations ceased before completing a migration to SaaS.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"Our customers have found that Skybox has a lot of good features and I don't expect that any of them will be changing to another product."
"Understanding the real exposure from vulnerabilities and associated assets can reduce the time and investment needed to mitigate risks."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"Skybox is a full-feature product that comes with different modules like firewall and network assurance, network mapping, and a vulnerability control module."
"The firewall management feature in Skybox Security Suite was quite good and was what we primarily used."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
 

Cons

"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"Change Manager can be improved. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers."
"The initial setup isn't so easy because many of our customers have issues getting all the configurations right; it's very complex."
"Due to the cost of the solution, I've decided to switch products."
"The company made bad business decisions impacting many clients and their own staff. Reporting could have been improved, and feature requests often were not implemented."
"There is room for improvement in device policy provisioning. However, modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable or under enhancement."
"It's expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is high, and the licensing model needs more flexibility."
"I rate the pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is cost-effective."
"Currently, the licensing costs me about $300 USD for the year. This is a huge amount for my environment."
"The licensing fee is paid yearly and is approximately $100,000."
"Fully understand the total cost of ownership. They have gone to a new model where you have to replace the hardware every X amount of years at a very substantial cost and fully understand your intended number of nodes. To operate a firewall, you have to pay two licenses, a firewall node and a network node. If you are a reasonable-sized organization, this gets expensive very quickly."
"The software is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"With licensing, the number of network nodes becomes very expensive to the point where you have to rationalize if the tools are warranted anymore."
