Skyhigh Security Reviews

All the information available on each service, including its risk assessment. Service groups, automatic assignment of services based on designated conditions, and the ability to utilize multiple log sources for the data.

Provides quite a bit of visibility into cloud services being utilized in our environment. I've been able to take the data available in Skyhigh and create discussions about whether we should be allowing or blocking certain services. This has also allowed us to start developing policies/procedures around new services which get introduced into our environment.

Iron out the few bugs that I've seen.

Less than one year.

None that I'm aware of.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

A 10 out of 10.

A 10 out of 10.

We did not previously use a different solution.

Unknown, as I was not involved in the setup process.

Unknown, as I was not involved in the procurement process.

Unfortunately, I don't have this information.

Not applicable, as I was not involved in the decision to go with this product.

It has a very user-friendly UI and is easier to pick up for people with less technical experience.

It’s a small improvement; however, it has augmented the pre-existing network monitoring services already in place to something more meaningful for higher levels of management.

Its capabilities are still rather limited compared to other solutions. It’s a reasonable monitoring service, but it would still need to be coupled with other solutions to be practical.

I found that when it comes to monitoring services on the network, Skyhigh gives a more comprehensive and practical break down of what risks the user is looking at. This is very useful when reporting metrics to upper management. However, it felt slightly lacking in the technical breakdown area as compared to other services we used at the time. Some of the explanations it gave for risks were too vague to address, so we would revert to another product we use regularly to get a more specific picture of a threat.

I have used Skyhigh for three months.

I can’t recall any stability issues.

We used this as an internal solution, so I can’t reasonably address scalability.

I rate technical support 7/10. I felt they were very accommodating when we worked with them, but as we were ramping up the product, we needed a lot of support to understand Skyhigh functionality. We had a dedicated resource communicating with us for some time, but there was a sudden switch and the knowledge transfer between them wasn’t comprehensive, leading to some lag in support.

We previously used a different solution but we did not drop it. We attempted to use the two solutions together.

I was not a part of initial setup, so I can’t speak to this point.

I was not part of pricing, so I can’t speak to this point

To my knowledge, Skyhigh was meant to help fill some of the performance gap shown by our other solutions, so we weren’t actively looking for products to do this so much as experimenting with a single new product we’d heard about.

Use this product in conjunction with others. It has good coverage in terms of monitoring, but other commercial products were used to mitigate threats to the network.

My experience with this product is from an evaluation standpoint. Since everybody is adopting cloud technologies such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, they want to ensure that their data is secure. This product can be used to help people access our cloud applications securely, control users, and manage data movement over the cloud with respect to our data classification policies.

We have conducted a PoC but have not used it in our production environment.

They provide a variety of options for scalability, where we can use it over the cloud, or we can deploy it on-premises through our proxy. We can also use agent-based installation. Together, from a coverage point of view, the solution is pretty good. The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has.

It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use.

They should implement straightforward automation capabilities that include the integration of AI and ML. It should be able to handle solutions quickly whenever a rule has to be created. It should, for example, suggest to the admin that if there is any indication of data corruption then a notification will be sent. In addition, initial steps will be taken to ensure that the data is safe.

We evaluated McAfee MVISION Cloud for a couple of weeks. 

It is meant for large organizations and it will support more than 10,000 users.

The technical support is good and they are customer-friendly. We don't use the support for MVISION Cloud but we use McAfee support for other products, and we are satisfied.

As part of our evaluation process, we have used several solutions from different vendors.

This is an expensive product, although it is made for larger enterprises and not for small organizations. This is generally the case with McAfree enterprise solutions.

This is a product that I recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I have been implementing this solution for protection as an ERP solution. I've been using it to protect and implement private apps.

The broader solution is quite useful. They provide service management for a variety of environments, including Office 365, Google, AWS, and Azure. 

It offers very good protection overall.

The management is very good.

We're able to provide the customer with best practices for coding.

It is a stable product.

Technical support is helpful.

The pricing is reasonable. 

The secure gateway could be improved. If they worked on that they would be more competitive.

They should offer more learning opportunities. If they could provide tools to help users interested in learning more about the technology, that would be ideal.

I'd rate the solution for around one year or maybe a bit less.

We have been facing some stability issues. However, via the support team, we're doing okay. It provides accurate warnings if there are some maintenance windows or service upgrades. It helps prevent unexpected disruption. 

I haven't really attempted to scale the solution. 

Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful and responsive. I have no complaints about their level of service. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. I'd rate the ease of implementation nine out of ten. It's not overly complex. 

The pricing is good and the licensing is straightforward. I'd rate the affordability nine out of ten. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

If you don't need an on-premises console for central management, this solution works very well. That's its main benefit. It's useful for companies that have a workforce that is dispersed as opposed to in a central location.

The solution is very easy to use. It's easy to navigate.

The product has proven itself to be very stable.

The solution is scalable.

We find it to be quite flexible.

Overall, the performance is good.

Due to the fact that it's in the cloud, you don't have to maintain it. It's maintained by McAfee. You don't need to worry about updates and upgrades.

McAfee needs to add more products that could be managed from the cloud. At the moment, not all of their endpoint products can be managed from this console. I'd like McAfee endpoint products to be managed from the cloud console. It's my understanding that they do plan to do this. It's just a matter of time. 

There are still a lot of customers who are demanding on-premise solutions. That's the situation on the ground here. People do not easily switch to cloud products. They're sticking to on-premise solutions so that they can fully control their IT. 

We've been using the solution for a few years at this point. We've used it pretty much since it's been in the market.

The solution is quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good.

The product scales quite well. If you need to expand the solution you can.

We have several customers on the product currently.

We would like to increase usage, however, in Serbia, many clients still prefer on-premises solutions.

We don't have a need to use technical support a lot, as we are doing the support for our customers, mainly. However, when we have a ticket, they solve it in a normal amount of time. I'm satisfied. I haven't had any issues at all.

There is no installation due to the fact that everything is in the cloud. You can do the installation on the end points, however, that's normal.

We're resellers. We can assist our clients in the implementation.

Customers do need to pay a licensing fee in order to use the solution. I cannot speak to the exact price.

We are resellers. We have clients using the product.

I'd recommend the solution to others. I would rate it at a nine out of ten overall.

We use the solution for endpoint security. 

The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult. Another issue is with decreasing performance with desktop and laptop due to the solution.  

In a future release, I would like them to add email protection as part of their offerings. 

We have been using the solution for one year.

I found the solution to be stable.

We have not tried to expand the solution. There are 40 users using it in our organization.

The initial setup of the solution is not easy, it is complex. 

The solution requires a technical team for deployment because it is challenging. 

The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license.

I will recommend the solution to other users. However, I would suggest having a deployment team assisting with the installation. 

I rate McAfee MVISION Cloud a seven out of ten. 

We use this solution for controlling web content that the users are accessing. It's very good in case situations where you have the use of a VPN connection.

You can control your employees when they are in the office and out of the office, without using a VPN in the same fashion.

The on-premise solution will control them when they are on the corporate network, and when they're off the corporate network, the cloud's gateway will control them. They have the same policies.

It's a great product with solid features.

It's a security appliance and it is quite secure.

They are quite well integrated.

The documentation could be improved. The documentation could be more detailed with more examples of usage.

We have been selling McAfee Web Gateway for four years.

Deployment can be on-premises or on the cloud.

It is a very stable solution.

I don't have any issues with the scalability. You have to do the sizing before they implement it afterward. 

You have other solutions that have to increase the volume of usage.

We have several large clients that are using it.

We are satisfied with technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to install.

If the client has a lot of demands and depending on their structure or the client's requests, it can be complex to configure.  In general, it is straightforward and easy to configure.

Some of our clients have a perpetual license and pay additional support yearly. 

We don't have any customers that are using subscriptions yet.

I wouldn't say that it is an expensive solution but it's not cheap. We pay for what it's worth.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate McAfee Web Gateway a nine out of ten.

The user analytics.

We were able to analyse our user activity, which helped us to identify the associated risks.

Improve the user interface (UI) of the tool and make it user-friendly.

Three years.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

A six out of 10.

A seven out of 10.

No.

I was not part of the setup.

A vendor team did the implementation. I would give them a seven out of 10 on their expertise.

I have no idea of what it is.

No.
