    Netskope makes it easier to manage SaaS apps such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Office 365, and other enterprise applications by allowing different rules for personal and corporate accounts. It provides detailed control over these platforms. For example, in OneDrive, you can set policies so that a user is allowed to share files only with a specific domain or individual, and restrict sharing in the opposite direction as needed.

    McAfee Web Gateway is best suited for all types of organizations if they wan to achieve the security for their users as it has the large intel database as well. The best part is its flexible hybrid deployment methods- it can be deployed on premises (hardware and virtual), in the cloud, or both for the high availability.

    Usability
    Netskope
    I give Netskope NextGen SWG an 8 because it helps us maintain compliance and security effectively. The platform works reliably, and the granular control it provides over web activities is very strong. Compared to other solutions like Zscaler (ZIA), Netskope offers a deeper level of control, which makes it more effective for our needs.

    Excellent products based on all the needs we had. Most of our use cases has been able to implement. DLP is kind of difficult to implement but possible. However you needs a big team to handle the tools as it's capabilities and management is complex. Nevertheles you can find a way to leverage all the funcionality when needed.
