We performed a comparison between Check Point Pointsec [EOL], Lookout, and Sophos SafeGuard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Mobile Data Protection."At the time when this tool was launched on the market, it had new technologies integrated within."
"Full disk encryption helps us ensure that data stored on a device is encrypted."
"One of the characteristics that give us the most value is that it offers the ability to perform HTTPS inspections."
"Check Point GAiA is easy to use."
"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 solution is stable."
"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's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronized security. It's a unique feature on the market at this time only offered by Sophos. As a reseller, we often win bids and get clients because of this unique trademark feature."
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"The intrusion detection system."
"The monitoring features are easy to use."
"The product filters phishing emails."
"The installation was quite complex."
"We would maybe want (in the future) advanced security in the filtering of access to the metaverse by augmented reality cameras."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see application identity support."
"The UI was one of the most difficult points to get used to. Due to the UI, even though it was used every day, the administration was complicated."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation with the endpoint logging, but it's a special feature that is quite complicated to explain."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
"Sophos SafeGuard cannot block or quarantine such viruses. Quarantine is a feature with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
