We performed a comparison between Lookout and Trend Micro Mobile Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Data Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 solution is stable."
"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 offers a lot of custom features."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"Parental control"
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"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."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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."
"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"
"There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"Contact Backup."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
