We performed a comparison between Check Point Pointsec [EOL], Lookout, and Microsoft BitLocker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Check Point Software Technologies, Sophos and others in Mobile Data Protection."One of the characteristics that give us the most value is that it offers the ability to perform HTTPS inspections."
"Full disk encryption helps us ensure that data stored on a device is encrypted."
"Check Point GAiA is easy to use."
"At the time when this tool was launched on the market, it had new technologies integrated within."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the TPM (Trusted Platform Module), which makes the PC security stronger because somebody who is not from the team cannot access the PC without the decryption PIN."
"It maintains security on my computer. Since I travel a lot, it gives me confidence that if, for some reason, my computer is lost, my data won't be compromised."
"I like the simplicity and ease of use of this solution."
"The hard drive encryption is very good."
"Technical support is excellent."
"It is free and native to the OS. We don't have to worry about upgrades or maintaining the product. You encrypt the disk, and you save the recovery key. That's it. The person puts their password in, and after that, it is up to them. If they forget their password, they have to bring it in to get it unlocked."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity and integration with the Microsoft Clouds platform."
"It's a straightforward solution for encryption."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product must improve the centralization of keys."
"The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition"
"I would like to be able to encrypt our cloud tenancy."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The customizations could be more flexible."
"I would recommend BitLocker only because of the economic side, not the technical side. If the features were included in the already existing licenses I would use it. If not, I would recommend other products."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"The solution could improve by having a centralized GUI for management."
