We performed a comparison between Netskope and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a very scalable tool."
"Its deployment is very easy and quick. Their technical support is also very good."
"The product's analytics part is pretty fine."
"The interface is good."
"The client size and architectural components in Netskope are far better than other solutions."
"It's a comprehensive security portfolio solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the support is very good and the dashboards are easy and intuitive to use."
"Netskope has a diverse portfolio range, which includes cloud access security brokers, content filtering, behavior analytics, and security management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is manageability."
"I find the application-aware routing feature to be the most valuable."
"It is very simple to configure. When you use the cloud to configure the equipment, it has zero-touch provisioning."
"If one circuit crashes, we are able to switch to a second circuit without any disruption in connection."
"Anyone can migrate over to VeloCloud, it's that simple, just plug in the necessary cables and it's done."
"The most valuable feature is load balancing."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic multipath optimization."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SD-WAN is security. Additionally, the integration and configuration are easier to do than with other solutions, such as Cisco."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"The solution's documentation still needs to be improved."
"The configuration and user behaviour analytics can be improved."
"I would like to have an identity theft protection function."
"Technical support and the user interface could be improved."
"Third party integration with other cloud applications could be improved. Sometimes the API won't be working, but Netskope is taking it seriously. They accept all the feature requests, and they are trying to provide whatever we ask from them."
"Netskope CASB can improve by working more similarly to a VPN technology instead of a proxy. They then could have visibility on the endpoint device. Most clients have some tools where they check the endpoint health or other things, such as the security posture, or if they want to access the resources. For example, if they should have antivirus running, this kind of posture check should be available but it is missing."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Deployment and policy tweaking were two areas where improvement needs to be made."
"Some of the service providers that use VeloCloud as their SD-WAN should be enabled to have better global visibility."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"There is room for improvement with respect to security."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve if the hardware could integrate the interface using ICP. Additionally, if VMware SD-WAN is used with SSE providers that use tunnels there are some issues prioritizing traffic because it cannot decrypt."
"It needs better security."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
"VeloCloud could improve its integration capabilities with other solutions."
"I would like for them to upgrade to 5G integration. Our customers have 4G now and the connectivity isn't good. It should be much faster."
