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."
"I think that compliance checks and policy compliance are the product's good features."
"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"We use Network Assurance for network visualisation and troubleshooting."
"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"The most valuable features of Skybox Security Suite are all the modules that are provided, such as vulnerability assessments and network, and firewall assessments."
"We have deployed this solution for our clients and have not received any complaints."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
 

Cons

"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"The solution needs improvement in firewall configuration checks. I would also like to see more configuration checks for Forcepoint and for other non-supported firewalls."
"As a reseller, I feel the marketing of this product could be better."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"It's expensive."
"During implementation, we realised approximately 30 devices were not supported by the Skybox platform​."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing has increased exorbitantly in the last few years, so now it is questionable. Now, it makes me want to review other products."
"The price of the Skybox Security Suite can be expensive."
"I think the price is fair."
"It's expensive."
"When compared with other companies, the license is more costly."
"The solution is based on a subscription model for annual licenses."
"The pricing is high, and the licensing model needs more flexibility."
"Pricing is on the higher side. In terms of licensing, you should buy the complete suite rather than buying only the Change Manager. I think Change Manager with Vulnerability Control is something that would be interesting to look at."
