Cisco Multicloud Defense vs. Netskope CASB

For WAF functionality and delivery of websites, It's very well suited for traditional firewalling, if you're doing that already, it can be quite difficult to rearchitect everything around this product. So an example of that would be if, like us, you came from a datacenter style architecture within your cloud environment and you are trying to move to a more cloud-fronted architecture. Probably the best way to put it is that can be quite difficult, but once you've deployed, it gets easier operationally. So to kind of reverse engineer everything and then do everything again can be quite tedious in some ways. But that will be specific to people depending on where they're coming from with it.

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.

• Logs which are tricky to apply properly in the cloud, due to limitations of how vendor builds its environment sometimes it was hard to guess what is going on in the cloud as this solution also pulls data from these logs sometimes it can be missing some more detailed information
• Initial data flow related to specific solutions which company can use can - mean its custom apps which can need lots of learning processes what is valid what not and how to properly allow this can of solution example is DLP

• Infrastructure resilience.
• Growth and scale issues.

Incentivized

If it maintains its current direction it will be very disruptive in the cloud security space

Incentivized

It is a straightforward platform to use - no overcomplication or hidden menus - everything is cleanly presented

Incentivized

Ease of deployment and strong security solution.

Wide knowledge base and learning tutorials available for customer as well as partners.

Multiple use case be it only governing, data security or protection against threat can be catered and customized depending on objective organization wants to achieve. Talented pool of TAC team to reach out and resolve the concerns.

Incentivized

As of yet I havent logged a TAC case - It will be interesting to see how it is supported as a new product in the medium term

Incentivized

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.

Cisco Multicloud Defense, Crowd Strike Falcon, and Arctic Wolf Cloud Posture Security Management System as a service SAAS platforms are very comparable platforms. Unfortunately for Croud Strike, they had a mishap recently that caused major downtime for many companies worldwide. I do not think that you would have to worry about this happening with Cisco Multicloud Defense.

Incentivized

We felt that Netskope provided a more holistic view in the CASB space from a user and usage perspective. In addition, the cost structure for Menlo was a bit higher and was a bit more complicated in the installation and maintenance perspectives

Incentivized

• Cisco Multicloud Defense is easy to deploy and manage

Incentivized

• We end up troubleshooting many not existing issues thanks to Netskope.
