It is used to monitor the activities of all the employees. In an industry that is dependent upon exclusive content and resources, it is necessary to have a service that keeps a tab on the resources and websites being accessed by everyone. Not only does it show each and every resource that has been accessed on a particular device, but it also narrows down their risk.
Pros
Highly accurate and detailed analysis
Identifies and rates high risk resources
Can be easily fused with several other apps especially Microsoft Office
The encryption service
Cons
The interface is a tad complicated, especially for a beginner
There are bugs that need to be addressed
Can be really slow
Likelihood to Recommend
It really helps with data breaches as it provides a detailed report of the data that was downloaded to or from a particular device. It is suitable for services that deal with exclusive or sensitive content. Since it provides a detailed report of everything that was accessed by the devices on the Cloud, it becomes much easier to encounter any kind of malicious attacks and block certain services.

We use McAfee MVISION for detecting abnormal or malicious activities in our apps or if somehow the user clicked on malicious links and installed something MVISION helps us to detect these links. With these insights, we can plan on how to prevent these activities.it also helps us in identifying abnormal events like huge amounts of data transfer or large data downloads.
Pros
Very good at detecting malicious links in application
easy to integrate with third party software like salesforce, office etc.
Detailed insights and report analysis.
Cons
UI side is not that great.
Hard to detect every attack or event.
Not work in real time means there is a latency in detection.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for almost every organization [that] deals with sensitive data or [their] users have to perform certain sensitive actions that can go [into] financial loss if somehow there are attacked by [viruses] or malicious links. To prevent that a company must have certain apps prevent these and MVISION is [one] of them. so I recommend it.
Skyhigh is used by the data security team, where it helps us by noting the services browsed by the users in the organization. It not only shows the services but also marks the high-risk services with appropriate reasons. This helps us block those services in our organization from external attacks.
Pros
It helps in identifying high risk services and also shows the reasons for its rating as high and also the user activity on that service like amount data uploaded/downloaded which helps us in easily tracking the bad services and blocking them in our organisation
It has a great User interface. Skyhigh has a great feature called Detokenization where only a user with a high level of authenticity can decrypt the tokenized user data in the UI. This is really a promising feature for customers: they like that they need not worry about our data since the entire thing is being encrypted
It helps in integrating cloud tools like office 365 ,box ,salesforce etc.Where for every abnormal activity there will be anomaly created and alerts customers that there is some suspicious thing is happening and notifies us to investigate
Cons
Skyhigh support should be improved a bit in pleasing customer needs during calls for any issue
Skyhigh need to reflect data from the integrated tools like office 365 /sales force without any time gap as most of the time it reflects data almost after 24 hrs where a customer may potentially be delayed in remediating to an incident
There should be email alerting system must be implemented in Skyhigh for every anomaly triggered.
Likelihood to Recommend
Skyhigh is best suited for notifying us of the bad services which are being run in the organization. It really reduces the time it takes for in-depth analysis of proxy logs. It is also helpful for notifying us of any abnormal activities performed by the users in the cloud apps. For example, if a user has left the company and then there was a huge amount of files downloaded from his drive, we may not have known. Here, Skyhigh helps by notifying us of anomaly-like data (high amounts of download and upload activities performed). This is one of the best scenarios I can say, where we see what actually is happening in the cloud drives for the organization. It also helps by notifying if there is any service or activity performed against any sort of compliance with its own mechanisms.

We use Skyhigh Cloud Access Security to monitor the users in our environment. With the decent UI and simple dashboards, we are able to determine what applications and websites the users are accessing. We can easily find if a user has accessed a malicious site or downloaded an unapproved application. With this information, we check the logs using other tools and know if it was a one time event or a regular one. This helped us to mitigate much of the risks that could have happened otherwise.
Pros
It has a very clear and simple dashboard.
Good way of arranging the services.
Easy identification of information.
Cons
We don't get all the information about the particular event.
User needs to get acquainted with the UI for easy use.
Likelihood to Recommend
Consider a scenario where a user is accessing some information on a website which is infected with adware or coinminer. With the help of Skyhigh, we are able to determine the time at which the user has accessed the site. Using other tools, we can check the exact site which he/she visited when the event was generated and advise the user to not visit such sites or create a blacklist.

SkyHigh is a CASB solution that spans shadow IT all the way into API level control of sanctioned Apps. SkyHigh also allows us to integrate CASB controls into custom apps or cloud software that don't have native controls.
Pros
Great visibility into cloud apps
Understanding of unsanctioned services
Control of sanctioned services
Cons
Interface is split between 2 generations of look and feel
Likelihood to Recommend
Skyhigh is great for an organization that is invested in office 365, box, etc and would like to apply the same controls across all the environments.
