Network Architect at IP Dimension

Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

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.

Abhishek Sawant

System Manager at Randstad

Has strengthened data protection across departments and supported continuous monitoring

In future updates of Symantec Data Loss Prevention, I would like to see improvements based on the many attacks happening around the world. They can improve their product and the features mainly to focus on how we can prevent that data within the organization, over the cloud, whatever it is, as that is important.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"Cloudflare Access is a stable solution."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

More Cloudflare One pros

"In my opinion, the best features of Skyhigh Security are that it is easy to recommend because it is not expensive like Symantec, and second is antivirus, and third, I think it is not heavy."

"This is a stable solution, constantly running across the entire enterprise."

"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability."

"As a cloud solution, it's easily scalable."

"Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization; before using it, we needed to monitor cloud applications including Office 365 and other applications such as Facebook manually, and after we started using Skyhigh Security, through the dashboard, we are able to control user monitoring, access control, and everything else effectively."

"In that way, it gives in-depth visibility and a granular monitoring facility for the company: What is happening inside the company, what people are using, what kind of data is going through the company."

"Shadow IT reporting capabilities."

"In my opinion, the best feature Skyhigh Security offers is the DLP capabilities and visibility into cloud."

More Skyhigh Security pros

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention has proprietary metadata and is well-suited for endpoint-level security."

"The most valuable features of Symantec Data Loss Prevention are endpoint security, endpoint agent, and DLP. Additionally, we have been satisfied with the policies."

"It gives me overall control of who has got access to what and at what point and who can do what with specific information."

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the number one product in its field. It does its job well and it has all the necessary features. It is definitely better than any other solution on the market."

"For detection, it has a great algorithm. It can recognize ID numbers and everything that you put in a policy for the end-users. That is really great for us as an institution where we have sensitive data. It recognizes all the sensitive data when someone tries to transfer it or put in other data."

"The data-at-rest features are the most valuable because they let us identify data infected with ransomware and prevent employees from being exploited through phishing attacks. If an employee is compromised, the attacker can access servers and deposit ransomware. This enables the attacker to exfiltrate data remotely using employees' credentials. It might be valuable data that could cause a business reputational and financial damage if stolen and publicized. It could also be credit card data or personal health information stored on critical servers."

"The product helps with blocking sensitive data transmission and permission management."

"I would recommend Symantec depending on the needs of the clients, but for me, Symantec is the best on the market."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

More Cloudflare One cons

"One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved."

"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."

"Skyhigh Security can be improved, and the biggest problem they have is that they are still owned by private equity, which is a massive drain on them financially because of the debt burden that they share with their sister company, Trellix."

"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."

"The solution has room for improvement in its DDoS protection."

"The virtual solution requires improvement."

"De-tokenization."

"Regarding Skyhigh Security's AI capabilities, I think its accuracy and reliability of output needs to improve."

More Skyhigh Security cons

"The policies need to be improved."

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."

"Symantec needs to improve the policies."

"We are finding delayed response if the macOS is updated. They need to make sure their solution is compatible."

"Data Masking could be improved."

"A main disadvantage of Symantec DLP is its reliance on Oracle, especially compared to other products like Forcepoint, which offer MSSQL database options that are more convenient."

"We're not sure if there was an issue or a bug on the system recently because as of right now if someone sends out a compressed encrypted file, the DLP won't scan it."

"We want a more proactive reporting structure."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"Commercially, I find Skyhigh Security a little costlier, compared to other products such as SentinelOne or Cybereason which are really novelty products. I'm not comparing Skyhigh Security with Trend Micro, but with other products, in particular the new, next-generation products. The price for Skyhigh Security is high in terms of value and ROI. I would rate the product price combined with product efficacy a six out of ten."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually. The price is reasonable."

"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."

"This is an expensive product, although it is made for larger enterprises and not for small organizations."

"They definitely charge a huge amount. All the security service providers charge a huge amount."

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

"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."

"The biggest thing to watch for is the difference in price per monitored user for the different API integrations."

More Skyhigh Security pricing and cost advice
