Netskope CASB vs. Tenable Cloud Security

The Netskope CASB solution is well-suited for any company due to the proliferation of SaaS applications. With the agent being installed on endpoints, the product is well suited for remote work environments where a managed corporate network may not be available. The agent allows visibility and controls to be applied to any networks the devices connect to.

In its current version, it is basic. There are nice new features that should provide a good overall picture of the configuration and security of the account.

Really easy to use for administrators and for end users, as all is unified in one single agent. Management and deployment is also very easy to do, so overall it is a user and administrator friendly product.

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.

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

We looked at this over a year ago, the space was still young. Censys provided what we originally needed, but was soon outdone by Tenable with their initial release. I am sure that Censys improved as well, but it was easier to expand on our current Tenable license.
