Effective for managing shadow IT and provides continuous data protection for users connected to the internet
What is our primary use case?
Our one use case involved shadow IT. We had numerous cloud applications being used by the business without the IT team's awareness. A lot of data was being exchanged with these cloud applications.
Another use case centered around our corporate applications, specifically Google Workspace. We integrated Google Workspace with Netskope to protect our cloud usage and data, including email IDs and Google Drive storage.
These are the use cases we applied the tools to.
How has it helped my organization?
The benefits revolved around effectively addressing the use cases using Netskope. Regardless of user location, as long as they were connected to the internet, their data remained protected at all times. These were the major benefits we obtained.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features were related to discovery, data protection, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
For how long have I used the solution?
In my previous organization, we heavily used Netskope. We employed Netskope for all our cloud applications and for managing shadow IT. So, for any applications we had in the cloud, we used Netskope to retrieve details about shadow IT. On top of it, we employed it to safeguard the data on those cloud applications.
I used Netskope five months ago. I changed organizations around five months ago. But prior to that, I was using Netskope. I have used it for approximately four years. I worked with the latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. From a solution perspective, I didn't face any challenges. However, there were operational matters that we managed on a day-to-day basis.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
Approximately around 30,000 end users are using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
We've encountered numerous cases. Whenever we came across functional or technical issues, we raised questions with the technical support team.
I would describe customer service and support as decent. Our technical account manager always got involved when we raised concerns, ensuring proper escalation so we got a timely resolution.
How was the initial setup?
The first setup process was pretty simple. You just have to integrate the solution with cloud workspaces and applications and it is easily accomplished.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment was a collaborative effort. We engaged both the vendor and third-party assistance. Our in-house team used relevant intelligence to ensure successful deployment.
Two major teams were primarily involved: the InfoSec team and the IT team. The InfoSec team covered the solution and helped the IT team with configuring best practices. Additionally, we had a partner team that implemented the solution for us.
For deployment, we followed a straightforward approach. First, we identified our known applications and domains and then planned how to integrate our account users with Netskope. Next, we used the discovery module to identify shadow IT instances. Finally, we configured policies, initially placing them in monitoring mode. Once the tools matured, we transitioned those policies from monitoring to protective mode.
The maintenance was easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing depends on customer relationships, negotiations, and partner involvement. Each product owner has their own licensing terms, which all play into the overall cost because they involve a partner. Overall, it depends on the negotiation skills.
Netskope's pricing is reasonable compared to Microsoft. Microsoft tends to sell individual licenses as bundles. For instance, if you're using licenses like E3 versus E5, E3 offers limited functionality, while E5 provides a bundle. Microsoft's pricing is somewhat higher, considering Netskope's capabilities as well.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have experience with a few other solutions, like Symantec and Microsoft, but my involvement with those was limited. Netskope was the major focus.
If you're heavily invested in Microsoft, Microsoft KSP might be the way to go. Otherwise, you might consider Netskope. So, it is dependent on the infrastructure.
What other advice do I have?
I'd suggest that any company not heavily dependent on Microsoft could consider starting with Netskope. Cloud journey also matters; if you're deeply involved in the cloud, Netskope is a good solution to safeguard your cloud data.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I deduced two points: one for their feature modification and one for the feature maturity of the solution.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
Scalable platform with an easy deployment process
What is our primary use case?

We have been using the platform for 18 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the platform's stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a very scalable tool.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team takes too long to reply for different time zones. We have to give them all the information from the beginning per their protocol every time.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
It is a SaaS-based solution and is deployed on the cloud. It is very fast to deploy. We took three months to complete as we had to make many changes to the previous version. I rate the process a seven out of ten.

The product's price is average. We are receiving a competitive offer from Trend Micro Apex One. So, we are evaluating it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We are evaluating Trend Micro Apex One.
What other advice do I have?
I advise others to make an inventory of all the cloud apps. They should ensure all the shadow IT instances are included in their policies.
I rate the platform an eight out of ten.
