Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

Skyhigh Security excels in identifying shadow IT and providing risk assessments, aiding organizations in reducing data risk. Cloud discovery and analytics offer insights into services and data locations. The user-friendly interface and strong DLP integration enhance accessibility and data protection. Encrypted disk features, threat analysis, and customizable reports strengthen security. Integration with cloud providers ensures stability and scalability. Advanced user behavior analysis and comprehensive management enhance data security and compliance across various environments.
  • "The solution significantly helps in enhancing security management."
  • "The cloud security features are the most valuable."
  • "Skyhigh Security is user-friendly in terms of configuration and UI."

Room for Improvement

Skyhigh Security requires enhancements in several areas. The user interface is not intuitive and could be streamlined. The console performance is often slow, affecting report generation and screen transitions. Custom attribute updates are cumbersome, requiring field-by-field confirmation. The reporting capability is limited and can become stuck with large datasets. There is also a demand for better integrations with other security products and support for unsanctioned applications is lacking. Improved training resources and documentation are necessary to aid user understanding.
  • "The initial setup was challenging, and the documentation could be improved to make it easier."
  • "The solution has room for improvement in its DDoS protection."
  • "Updates sometimes introduce bugs, and Skyhigh Security needs to revalidate its versions before rolling out updates."

ROI

Several users are unaware of the specific financial return on investment from Skyhigh Security. Some expressed that exact figures are confidential or not easily interpretable, highlighting returns in non-monetary benefits. A few reported positive impressions, with one indicating an ROI of 150%, while another emphasized significant benefits accrued over time. The overall sentiment suggests mixed awareness and difficulty in quantifying the investment's success in purely financial terms among users.

Pricing

Skyhigh Security's pricing model is complex, with costs varying based on factors like monitored users and API integrations. Pricing is generally higher than some competitors but offers robust security features. Multi-year agreements can reduce costs, while licensing depends on user count and required service levels. Options include Discovery and Secure licenses, impacting price based on cloud service usage. Though expensive, it remains competitive with support and technology offerings aligned for larger enterprises.
  • "The tool is not expensive."
  • "The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."
  • "The solution's hardware is expensive."

Popular Use Cases

Organizations primarily utilize Skyhigh Security for Shadow IT monitoring, sanctioned cloud app security, and to provide visibility into cloud environments. It is used to protect against data loss, control user access to services such as Office 365 and Dropbox, and secure web access through web proxy and filtering. The platform serves as a CASB to monitor cloud risks, secure endpoints, and enforce data security policies, enabling secure internet access for remote users.

Service and Support

Skyhigh Security's customer service and technical support receive mixed feedback. Many rate customer service between 8-10, indicating helpful and efficient service. Technical support scores vary, with some rating it 9-10 for problem-solving and responsiveness, while others experience slow communication and inconsistent expertise. Complexity of issues occasionally affects communication speed. Some users report seamless collaboration with Skyhigh, while others face challenges requiring escalation to higher-level support. Overall, experiences hinge on support personnel and specific issues addressed.

Deployment

Users found Skyhigh Security's initial setup generally straightforward. Some described it as easy, requiring minimal assistance. A few mentioned needing technical knowledge, especially with complex configurations or integrations. Setup duration varied from minutes to weeks, depending on deployment size and requirements. Several users appreciated the detailed guides and the possible need for vendor support. While most considered it manageable, a few noted complexity and the necessity for expertise in certain scenarios.

Scalability

Skyhigh Security demonstrates good scalability, handling both small and large organizations effectively. It supports cloud scalability, allowing businesses to scale without infrastructure challenges. Users report it manages extensive user bases and adapts to company needs. Occasional issues with portal speed occur with fewer users. Some express the need for enhancements, yet many find it highly scalable, supporting significant numbers effortlessly, while others lack extensive scalability testing. McAfee's cloud infrastructure underpins its scaling capability.

Stability

Skyhigh Security demonstrates consistent stability improvements through regular upgrades. Users observe enhanced speed and performance, with minimal crashes or glitches. While initial instability was reported, recent updates have resolved many issues, resulting in reliable operation. Some users still encounter minor service disruptions and require support for certain features, but most find Skyhigh Security maintains steady functionality.

Skyhigh Security Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
SOC Analyst at Infosys3.5I use Skyhigh Security as a proxy security tool for troubleshooting. Its user-friendly configuration and helpful customer support stand out. However, it requires more features and fewer update bugs. We've used it for over a decade without considering other solutions.
Information Security Leader at Alcaldía de Medellín4.0I use Skyhigh Security to manage user access and bandwidth effectively. It offers excellent security, availability, and policy control, with smooth Active Directory integration. However, I encountered integration issues with security devices and wish for better hybrid environment support.
SME/Manager -Secure Web Access at Capgemini3.0We use Skyhigh Security to monitor and secure our customers' internet access. Its flexibility is a standout feature. However, the cloud portal stability needs improvement as it occasionally times out. We switched from Cisco for better service and customization options.
Cio at a security firm with 11-50 employees4.5I use Skyhigh Security for data loss prevention and PCI compliance in cloud environments, valuing features like user behavior analysis. However, it struggles with Safari on Mac, and additional support in Spanish would be beneficial.
Technical Architect at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0We utilize Skyhigh Security for SWG, CASB, and as a web proxy, appreciating its content filtering, reporting capabilities, and ease of deployment. However, rule configuration and automated backups need improvement. Skyhigh outperforms our previous TMG Web Proxy.
Network Architect at Neev limited4.0In our experience, Skyhigh Security offers valuable cloud security features that enhance security management and save on operational costs. However, improvements in DDoS protection and user-friendly documentation are necessary for a smoother setup process.
IT Manager at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Skyhigh Security to audit internet behavior and discover shadow IT devices. The solution is stable and performs well, but report generation is slow with large data sets, and technical support could be more knowledgeable.
