Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks and others in Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB)."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 most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"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 aspect for us is the fact that the product seamlessly integrates with the Forcepoint DLP."
"It gives you value for your investment."
"Generally, most of our customers are happy with it though."
"The product offers an easy initial setup."
"As it is based on AWS, it is not a problem."
"Macro integration is a good feature."
"The reporting is fine."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"Performs automated, regular scans in the network."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
"Provides great functionality."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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."
"When using the Forcepoint CASB, and you are a remote worker, basically not in the office, you have to have an agent on your computer, a Forcepoint agent. However, with many other CASB solutions, they can integrate with MDM."
"Integration is an area of the solution that needs to be improved."
"They should work on the possibility of consolidating all of the products with the group of agents."
"The solution needs to be easier to install, and they need to clean up the backend, so stuff doesn't break."
"Forcepoint removed the ability to scan for unsanctioned applications on the CASB."
"Lacks different ways to authenticate users."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"Improve the API speed."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
