Netskope cloud access security broker (CASB) enables the user to identify and manage the use of cloud applications, regardless of whether they are managed or unmanaged, and prevents sensitive data from being exfiltrated from your environment by risky insiders or malicious cybercriminals who have breached your perimeter.
I would not recommend it as I think the product needs better integration with other Forcepoint products and better technical support. In some cases, Forcepoint closes my tickets without an answer. On the other hand, integration is useless in some cases. A working OCR would be appreciated in the future, as well as a better DLP. The admin webpage had some problems, sometimes it didn't load correctly. And don't even try to use it on a mobile, it never works. I think the product is good, but it needs better integration (and the integration should work!!) and in my opinion, it's not a finished product. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 5.
Well suited for an organization that is either architecting their environment for majority SaaS usage, or presently is a cloud-first organization and wants greater insight into their existing cloud placements. It does provide good first-level DLP and will need to be supplemented with a purpose drive DLP control.
Netskope's CASB can be challenging to deploy. If it is being implemented for the first time and staff do not have prior experience with deployments, then professional services should be utilized. Once configured and deployed, the product provides an easy-to-navigate User Interface and can be managed effectively with training.
There have been some struggles with their infrastructure keeping pace with demand and load. Support can only do so much and has to defer to known problems being escalated.
The interface of both the softwares is complex, but Forcepoint is certainly more complicated. But once you get past that, it is quite smooth and offers a lot of amazing features. It is one of the best options for remote security, although I would love to see more features - like encryption. The one place where it truly lacks is customer service, and since it has such an intricate implementation procedure, this one carries a lot of weight and needs to be improved to make this software even more accessible.
I find that Netskope CASB provides a larger catalog of SaaS applications and provides additional security controls for each app, allowing granularity to what actions end users can perform on the sites. This goes beyond simple block download/block upload, making it highly effective at enforcing the actions outlined in corporate policies.
