Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks and others in Secure Web Gateways (SWG)."The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The solution is stable."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"The content filters and SSL encryption are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution is very stable. In four years we have not seen any issues with the product."
"The categorize formula is very helpful. Previously, we used the Cisco solution, where we could not choose how sites are categorized. Blue Coat updated a lot of sites I categorized. There are other valuable features as well, such as block by location, block by IP, allow by IP, and block by user name, domain, or group domain."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"It's a stable solution."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"It's secure and useful from an administrative point of view, with controllable login monitoring and so on."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"Java does not completely work. We are dependent on Java and when the current console does not run with Java, it is a problem for us."
"The console visibility and the performance impact on the internet needs improvement."
"Every customer has to perform a manual backup, and automatic backing up is needed."
"There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"The installation is a little bit complex."
