Security Engineer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Very sophisticated with great anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "Good anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities."
- "User interface could be more intuitive."
What is our primary use case?
This is a web security product, it controls the usage of web for employees. There is an integral anti-virus and web URL filtering solution. I've used the solution in multiple companies that I worked in, and for the last six months I have a new company and I sell the solution along with other security products. I'm a security engineer.
What is most valuable?
I like the anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities. I also like the ability to control what kinds of files or content can be downloaded. So you can restrict executables and potential harmful files. It's a very sophisticated and mature solution.
What needs improvement?
I think it's a very good product although the user interface is not very intuitive and could be improved. Because of its sophistication, it's not so easy to manage and you have to learn to use it well. The solution can't really be simplified because then it would not be so customizable. You have to know what you're doing. If you don't know about filtering, you won't be able to use it well. I also think that the URL filter model and the web application filter model should be more tightly coupled but it's a lot of effort to get them to work together, not an easy problem. It's two different models - URL filtering and web application filtering.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for nine years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is no problem. It is cluster able so I can use many devices. We have small companies in Hungary, usually some 1000 users, but we have one simple appliance. It can deal with many users. I assume even 50,000 users would not be a problem for this product.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've used technical support rarely but when we've had an issue they respond relatively quickly and they know what to do. I like them.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have seen other products like Websense, which is Forcepoint now, and McAfee Web Gateway which is better than Websense, I think. The features are generally the same, but McAfee is easier to manage and maintain, easier to overview. It also has better debugging capabilities and better logging.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very, very straightforward. I think it's one of the best.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it a 10 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Cyber Security Analyst at a tech services company
Skyhigh's shadow IT capability and cloud risk registry are the two most helpful tools for our organization.
What is most valuable?
Skyhigh's shadow IT capability and cloud risk registry are the two most helpful tools for our organization.
How has it helped my organization?
We are able to see what cloud services are being used with much more clarity than with our proxies and more importantly identify that we are using many cloud services we were not aware were even cloud services. Especially collaboration services. The cloud risk registry has been great for getting a quick and clearer understanding of the risk of proposed services that we are looking at allowing. Previously we were paying for expensive industry reports.
What needs improvement?
The Skyhigh for Google Drive interface and policy engine is a bit confusing and limited when compared against other Google Drive CASB capabilities.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
We deployed the FedRAMP GovCloud version, which was not quite up to date with the mainstream version and still had some bugs to work out. Some other features are still in the works. We also found that it is important to ensure your inputs to the system are all uniform as it would have made for a more rapid deployment.
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service:
Excellent.
Technical Support:Excellent.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost.
What about the implementation team?
The vendor team was excellent.

It's an easy-to-use product. We find it to be quite user-friendly.
The scalability of the product is excellent.
Overall, we have been very happy with the product. It's been working well.
The installation was straightforward and pretty simple.
What needs improvement?
The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable.
For how long have I used the solution?
I"ve been using the solution only for a couple of months at this point. It hasn't been a long period of time just yet. It's still new to me.

The product is quite stable and we have found the performance to be good. It doesn't crash or freeze. there are no bugs or glitches. We are happy with its capabilities.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can scale if you need it to. A company shouldn't have any issues expanding it.
We have one or two customers that use it at this time.
How are customer service and technical support?
We've been satisfied with technical support overall. They have been helpful and responsive. We have no complaints in terms of their overall capabilities.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was not overly complex or difficult. It was straightforward. We found it simple. A company shouldn't face any issues with the implementation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution could improve the cost a bit.
You do need to have a license in order to use the solution. I cannot speak to the exact costs.

INNOVATOR,ENGINEER,DREAMER! at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Initial setup is straightforward as their guidelines and instructions are very easy to follow
Pros and Cons
- "Box API features with DLP capabilities."
- "SkyHigh has the ability to place users or groups on a ‘Watchlist’; which allows you to see certain views with these Watchlists users/groups in them. This is great when you are looking at live data but if I wanted to generate a report on "only" the watchlists."
What is most valuable?
- Box API features with DLP capabilities
- Shadow IT
How has it helped my organization?
Our organization is moving much of its non-sensitive data to Box. We needed the ability to have full visibility into what was occurring within the Box infrastructure, from Skyhigh to Box API integration.
What needs improvement?
SkyHigh has the ability to place users or groups on a ‘Watchlist’; which allows you to see certain views with these Watchlists users/groups in them. This is great when you are looking at live data but if I wanted to generate a report on "only" the watchlists.
For how long have I used the solution?
Two and a half years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
No.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Skyhigh has been improving their product and releasing upgrades on a consistent basis. Now, the stability and speed are greatly improved. Looking forward to their next major release.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
No, since I am able to use my blue coat logs.
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service:
A 10 out of 10
Technical Support:A nine out of 10.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
No.
How was the initial setup?
Straightforward. Guidelines and instructions are very easy to follow.
What about the implementation team?
Our implementation was in-house. Since the deployment of this cloud access security broker (CASB) was rather simple, there was no need to bring in a third-party vendor.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The biggest thing to watch for is the difference in price per monitored user for the different API integrations. We currently only use the Box API, but we thought about using the Salesforce one. However, it was drastically more expensive per user. We are starting to look at the 365 monitoring since we may migrate there soon, but I have not looked at the pricing for it yet.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
No.
