Skybox - Studies show it is a leader
Pros
- Skybox manages compliance for firewalls better than we have seen with other tools.
- Skybox integrates into standard change management tools so change control can flow through Skybox and assist with all decisions to implement a change.
- The Skybox network map is more detailed than other management tools showing us paths other tools didn't find.
Cons
- The management console could use work - move away from Java to HTML5 to something more lightweight
- Dynamic objects are not properly identified in Skybox
Return on Investment
- Skybox is in pilot
- Positive ROI is in change management
Alternatives Considered

Skybox Security for vulnerability management
Pros
- Vulnerability prioritization
- Review of firewall rules
- Review of routing rules
Cons
- User experience. On the first approach, it's not the simplest tool that I have ever used.
- Web-based console. In my honest opinion it's very important [to have] this type of functionality to extend the use of Skybox.
- Too many updates of the product.
Return on Investment
- Reduces cost in terms of time and money to spend in remediation activity.
- Improve the network topology and then it's possibile to reduce cost of network/security appliances where they're not necessary.
- The cost of the solution is not trivial when the number of network appliances is big.
Other Software Used
Splunk Enterprise, Qualys Private Cloud Platform, Bugzilla
Good product with good visualizations, but needs more features.
Pros
- Firewall change management. It is very important because it helps visualize the effect of a network change or a firewall change before it is applied.
- It is very user friendly and simple to use with a centralized interface.
- Has many good modules like the vulnerability control and firewall assurance.
- Another useful tool is it generates informative reports on all firewalls to help in the risk analysis and assessment of any firewall change on the network. Thus it helps you take any precautions or corrective actions.
Cons
- It doesn't support and integrate with Microsoft Azure
- The pricing is quite high compared to others
- There are a lot of bugs in the solution
- The implementation is not that easy and takes a long time, it needs to be more automated.
Return on Investment
- Collects info from all connected firewalls and generates informative reports
- Long time to implement
- Easier to scan the whole complex network.
- Pricing and technical support need to be improved
- Change management has become easier as it assesses its impact before applying the change.
