Netskope Active Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature when using the active platform for Netskope is the granularity of information that you are able to view/act on for different cloud applications. The filtering and actions you can take on this granular information are highly customisable and effective in any environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing i disliked while using the platform was the MDM phone option for forward proxy was a VPN connection you had to turn on all the time for your users to use the SaaS services from their devices. This felt like a bulky feature and most BYOD devices it was too complicated for our end users to utilize while turning the VPN on and off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A large use-case for this platform, obviously, is DLP. We have been able to actively protect and scan SaaS data to find sensitive data and remove/block the data. Additionally, the shadow IT aspect of this platform is excellent. Having the CCI scores built into the platform is a great feature and helps you quickly determine if the cloud services your users are using are safe.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Price, Ease of Use, Setup, and Features.

Effective and Straightforward
What do you like best about the product?
Give you excellent insight into where your data is going. You can test this before purchasing (we did) and we were very surprised at both the type of data and the locations (box, iCloud, etc...) that were being used.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a bit to implement, but we haven't run into any huge roadblocks. Our top three issues were of our own making: all bandwidth and priority related.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking to implement and enforce a data classification policy, and this was one of the key platforms that enabled both insight into where our data was going, and what type of data it was. We could trace back to users and address concerns and violations very quickly. We were also able to use it to help prevent misuse as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I initially wanted to go w/Palo's solution as we could get it for a competitive price, but Netskope worked with us to get close to parity, and it's far beyond Palo's capability

Occasionally CCI scores are out-of-date - however Netskope provide a mechanism to challenge and update these.

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.
Need a CASB solution - look no further than Netskope!
What do you like best about the product?
Customer support is outstanding, not to mention the great product. Would purchase again hands down!
What do you dislike about the product?
The solution covers so much, it's just a lot to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud DLP and some whitelisting/blacklisting.
Excellent product that is easy to manage with a small team!
What do you like best about the product?
Netskope is super simple to implement and even easier to manage. We have a small team and using Netskope is a major "force multiplier." Easy to use reporting and dashboards (shocking to see for the first time). The Cloud Confidence Index is one-of-a-kind and is in huge demand from our lines of business.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the inability to generate a comparison report of the Cloud Confidence Index. I know this is coming and will be a huge improvement over screenshots.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blindspots to cloud applications (e.g. what are they, who's accessing them, what are they putting up there?).
As an HIPAA covered entity, I need to know where the data is, Netskope answers this question for us. It also allows us to limit access to sites people should not be using which has become hugely beneficial.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have your policies in place before you implement blocking or speed bumps. It was nice to see who the majority of users were that we would be effecting before we implemented an intervention.
