"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"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 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."
"It gives you value for your investment."
"The most valuable aspect for us is the fact that the product seamlessly integrates with the Forcepoint DLP."
"The product offers an easy initial setup."
"As it is based on AWS, it is not a problem."
"Generally, most of our customers are happy with it though."
"Macro integration is a good feature."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"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."
"Integration is an area of the solution that needs to be improved."
"Lacks different ways to authenticate users."
"They should work on the possibility of consolidating all of the products with the group of agents."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
