Fast Implementation.
What do you like best about the product?
I can compare multiple providers to see how they compare to each other. I also love the flexibility that Netskope provides. I can choose the level of interaction I have with my employees (allow, context immersion action, acceleration, blocking). As I like to say, we give our employees bowling alleys. Netskope understands the ecosystem attached to each application sanctioned (and not authorized). This allows us to intervene better when an employee is using a specific application. Netskope has become very popular as a forensic investigation tool; giving us an idea of what is stored where and by whom.
What do you dislike about the product?
Netskope is at the mercy of cloud service providers and how they code their applications. For example, if Google changes an application, that can potential break Netskope's ability to inspect traffic to Google and how rules are applied. That however, is an issue inherent to all CASB providers and not just Netskope: there is always the need to react and reconfigure if a cloud service provider changes their web application. To Netskope's credit: for the few times we've seen this happen they've been good about addressing it quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just with the agent deployment alone we improved our auditing, reporting, and analysis of cloud service providers (CSP) and access to the CSP risk ratings helped us with our cloud security review process. This deployment helped us to implement more nuanced access policies for CSPs. For example: allow access to corporate o365 realm, but block a user if they try to access a personal o365 account. That helped us to meet security requirements for our o365 deployment project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of implementation. The GUI is easy to navigate through. Out of the box DLP policies. The overall metrics that Netskope provides feeds into my overall cybersecurity program.
Netskope is a great product.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to deploy, very descriptive and insightful about our employee's cloud usage. This helps us out create communication plans, update policies, fine tune workstation software configurations, isolate and deal with specific problematic usage cases, and more. It is helping us tremendously to reduce our residual risk with cloud applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I only have one item that I am not 100% satisfied with regards to the Netskope product, and even that is only a minor irritant. Since I am used to investigating logs to perform my own troubleshooting, access to the logs would be appreciated. The support team does mitigate my concerns by being highly available and knowledgeable in parsing and utilizing the logs to assist in identifying and correcting any specific issues encountered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Netskope product has met our security use cases and has given our security operations team the visibility, prevention capability, and speed to respond DLP incidents. More importantly we can see all the cloud applications. The dashboard, reporting, and metrics allows us to communicate the value to key sponsors and stakeholders at all levels. Overall, Netskope has been a game changer and we are very satisfied in this new era of cybersecurity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Support is very good but we spend a lot of time doing trials and errors, contacting (they're awesome) support to discover configuration or implementation details that could have been documented.
Take it Slow and You Will Be Rewarded
What do you like best about the product?
The clarity into our system was magnificent and once it was set up, everything was there.
What do you dislike about the product?
The implementation process was messy but hindsight is 20/20.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my team it has helped with streamlining business processes by getting rid of unnecessary applications. Worked in close partnership with IT.
Netskope Review
What do you like best about the product?
Options and coverage within cloud security space. We feel confident that Netskope will be one of the leaders when it comes to options available in the CASB space
What do you dislike about the product?
CASB is not a silver bullet in terms of mobility enablement. You will still need to augment EMM and IDP security with CASB to provide a comprehensive security solution for mobile security enablement. Not an issue specifically with Netskope, but there are still gaps in coverage for specific use cases/scenarios
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DLP for collaboration SaaS apps, mobility enablement, cloud security
Recommendations to others considering the product:
test before using of course, but it is imperative. Start with a small group and move to a pilot.
Overall easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Reporting and tagging feature, Ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to pull reports for Tagged apps
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to maintain control over SaaS site access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to manage SaaS access for your organization
Turn your employees into Security Policies Ambassadors
What do you like best about the product?
Microscope view into employees personal and corporate cloud usage
What do you dislike about the product?
Split tunneling, funneling cloud traffic through Netskope and associated privacy and traffic latency. Latency is not a real issue, I am picky as there is not much to dislike!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seeing the nature of personal cloud usage, the information involved in work related cloud usage, we were able to set priorities and make a communicaiton plan to educate employees on the risks of using corp data on un-assessed cloud apps, and the limits of personal usage on corp time and equipment. The enforcement of the Policies are so easy when they understand. They now consult us before, and talk about it to other employees. Many become our ambassadors.
Excellent product for getting a handle on your SaaS usage
What do you like best about the product?
Netskope is an easy to deploy platform that begins giving valuable information in a matter of days. The flexibility in their deployment options is also a big advantage over some of their competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a large environment like we do, the manual upgrading of the OPLPs can become cumbersome
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Netskope allows us to see what SaaS applications are actively being used. It also gives us a deep insight into O365 and how data is flowing in between.
