Netskope One Platform Reviews & Product Details

What we like about Netskope is that it has allowed us to operationalize security in the cloud. And what I mean by this is that we are using a lot of cloud-based platforms and each of them has a different security environment with different capabilities in it. It was very difficult to form the team on each of the platforms. Thanks to Netskope, we have a unified control point for all platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, traditional security tools are not up to the task. They do not understand the APIs and they were programmed to "allow" or "block". That does not work with the cloud But the cloud uses APIs and mobile devices that do not go through the corporate perimeter. These factors are having a profound impact on information security.

It is an incredible product, it was fast and easy to implement highly customizable and effective in any environment in different applications in the cloud, has a very solid database that allows us to identify people who are using applications in the cloud and thus control the flow of data that goes from it.

I can't generate a report of the vendor comparison report in Cloud Confident Index unless I cut and paste the report in sections. This is a report request I get weekly and not being able to do something this simple is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

within 48 hours, our introspection piece was up and running and we were starting to enforce policy. The DLP rule and policy creation is easy to understand and use. We used professional services to get us started, but very quickly we were creating our own policies and tuning existing ones. Management loves the clear reports, and the ability to enforce our existing policies around cloud usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Relatively new technology, so there is a lack of standard ways to integrate with various cloud services, also Some of the assessments are lacking info but NS is very helpful in updating the missing information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Once implemented, the product was relatively easy to use. The support has been great and extremely responsive when issues arise. This includes both pre and post support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation was far from ideal and complex. Integrator base was limited. Interface could use an upgrade to where it is at today. Troubleshooting issues is difficult but luckily there tech support has been great so far. Would love to reduce complexity so that troubleshooting could occur in house.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microscope view into employees personal and corporate cloud usage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The clarity into our system was magnificent and once it was set up, everything was there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The implementation process was messy but hindsight is 20/20. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
