Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.2
iboss improves ROI with enhanced remote security, saving time and reducing support needs, offering 70-80% efficiency gains.
Sentiment score
7.6
Transitioning to Prisma SD-WAN reduced costs by 50%, improved stability, and replaced expensive MPLS links with affordable broadband.
Sentiment score
5.0
Skyhigh Security enhances efficiency, reduces manual tasks, and improves governance, though exact financial benefits are hard to quantify.
With iboss, whenever you turn on your laptop, the iboss agent automatically connects to the iboss cloud, enforcing all security policies. So with respect to the security side, it strengthens measures.
Senior Consultant Proxy Engineering at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Deploying iboss leads to good return on investment, estimated around 70% to 80%.
Manager at Cyvogenix
I have seen some cost effectiveness from iboss; it has reduced certain support requirements, making it a more hands-off solution.
Managing Director
Prisma SD-WAN helps reduce network costs.
Senior IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
With Skyhigh Security, that same analysis could often be reduced to around ten minutes
Sales Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
By moving to having more in the cloud, their cloud is automatically updated as part of a SaaS solution, which reduces the responsibility on the company to do the updates themselves.
Manager - Cyber Security at a educational organization with 1-10 employees
I have seen a return on investment from using Skyhigh Security; we saved a lot of time since the dashboard gives the complete picture of the overall usage of cloud apps.

Sentiment score
7.4
Iboss customer service is fast and knowledgeable, though some desire better transparency and 24/7 availability. Scores range high.
Sentiment score
6.7
Palo Alto's Prisma SD-WAN support is effective but occasionally slow, with a need for training and faster responses.
Sentiment score
7.3
Skyhigh Security's customer service is rated high, but technical support needs improvement in consistency and first-contact resolution.
They are very fast, responsive, and knowledgeable.
Head of Cybersecurity at SES Water
The quality of the support is fantastic.
Educational Technology Coordinator at a performing arts with 201-500 employees
We had promising discussions about resolving these issues, but no real action followed.
Network Administrator at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
They respond promptly and are good at finding issues.
I would rate the support at minimum eight plus.

We can know the case severity such as P1, P2, or P3, allowing easy interaction from the customer support side.
Technical Associate Network Security at Valuepoint Systems
Weekly setup calls are conducted with all clients to discuss ongoing issues and resolutions.
Deputy Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
There is also some really good diagnostic information built into their web gateways that they deploy on-premise if you want to do hybrid, so they get a lot of information before you even know something might be wrong.
Manager - Cyber Security at a educational organization with 1-10 employees

They are also able to meet on-demand requirements based on your contract with them, and can easily provide adequate resources and scalability.
Senior Consultant Proxy Engineering at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.
If I start seeing sluggishness or anything like that, I just reach out to my rep, and they connect with their dev team, typically resolving it the same day.
Educational Technology Coordinator at a performing arts with 201-500 employees
Everything is managed by the service provider, Palo Alto Networks, allowing me to manage my infrastructure without overheads or extra costs to adapt the management infrastructure to the actual needs of the field.
Presale Engineer at Westcon-Comstor
I rate it a ten out of ten since we can easily scale by just paying for additional licenses as needed.
Cybersecurity Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

iboss's single pane of glass console gives centralized visibility into web traffic, user activity, security policies, and alerts from one dashboard.
Manager at Cyvogenix
We also had a problem with a transition when we upgraded from one appliance of theirs to another, but their engineer lost a good deal of our data.

Setup Cost

Iboss offers competitive, transparent pricing with comprehensive features, fitting security budgets better than pricier competitors like Broadcom and ZScaler.
Prisma SD-WAN offers premium pricing but valued functionality and integration, ideal for medium to large enterprises, with package discounts.
Skyhigh Security offers flexible yet potentially higher pricing, with costs depending on user numbers and required features.
It offers the same features you would get from a vendor that charges 250,000 British pounds for a fraction of the price.
Head of Cybersecurity at SES Water
The following year, the cost of just licensing was similar to what was paid the previous year for a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs.
Network Administrator at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, iboss is not cheap, and that's my only concern.
Managing Director
The solution is not cost-effective for smaller environments and is more suitable for medium to large companies.
Presale Engineer at Westcon-Comstor
The price for Prisma is a bit high.
Cybersecurity Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The product could be a bit cheaper for the services it provides.
CTO at a engineering company with 1,001-5,000 employees
After switching, cost savings would be in the millions since we were having many VPN edge routers, and there were many VPN tunnels utilized on the cloud, and after moving to ZTNA, we were able to cut the cost.
Information Security Specialist at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
The pricing and licensing was generally aligned with the number of users and the models, and the cost depends on the scope, but I think Skyhigh Security has great pricing for the market.
Sales Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Regarding pricing, the licensing and pricing for Skyhigh Security, especially for SWG, is cheap.
Product Team Lead at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

It's given us a lot more visibility into our computer assets that may be infected with viruses and also shows us people who have unusually large uploads or might be engaging in high-risk activities, such as searches or going to sites not categorized by their web crawler.
Educational Technology Coordinator at a performing arts with 201-500 employees
iboss was the best solution for us because, no matter what domain you were in, everything is under a single pane of glass, which is exactly what we wanted.
Managing Director
By reducing the need for expensive internet connections, Prisma SD-WAN allows customers to achieve cost savings.
Presale Engineer at Westcon-Comstor
Prisma is a mature platform in terms of security.

The hardware and cloud usability features help my team by providing easy scalability, which is the main advantage.
Senior Associate at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Cloud gateway has strengthened remote web security and now needs better Mac and ISP support
The problem our organization had is that iboss failed for the Mac devices. It is not able to give a successful agent for the Mac agents. That is where in 2025, we had to migrate to the Palo Alto-based platform. If your use case is for just Windows laptops,you can consider this platform as an option One issue is the data center resiliency part. In India especially, they are not tied up with the Tier 1 ISPs like Tata or Airtel; they were having Tier 2 ISPs and encountered many issues reaching few major sites that my organization depends on, and they were having problems that they could not fix quickly. They also lack a mechanism to route that traffic within their data center; rather, they ask customers to make a pac file change to route it to Singapore explicitly. It would be better if they route from their backend , i mean even if I send it to India DC, they should be able to route it internally to make that work; however, they fail to do that and ask the customer to route it in the pac file. Another suggestion is that in China, they do not have the proper setup; they used to have numerous problems with slowness and lack of premium circuits in China as well. That leads to multiple sites working slowly with latency-related issues. So the main issue is the ISP-related problems that need to be solved.

Navigating documentation challenges leads to reduced incidents with strong setup
The areas that need improvement include documentation/customer support and cross-communication between the support teams. The documentation tends to be outdated, often directing us to resources that are no longer accurate or available, and this is one of the reasons we are potentially looking at alternatives. In terms of the Prisma SD-WAN security integrations, we have seen some benefits, but part of our difficulty is trying to get all of that information on what it does and set up properly. Because we've had issues in the past with getting devices set up properly, scalability is a significant concern for us due to the poor documentation that limits our ability to understand and utilize their system effectively.

Centralized cloud security has improved DLP incident management and simplifies email protection
One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved. More customized columns and filtering options in incident review would be beneficial. File types should be included, such as file names along with file extensions, which are not currently available to my knowledge. Overall, Skyhigh Security is very good and just needs to improve in terms of the latency of downloading incidents.
