"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 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 best feature of Akamai SPS Threat Avert is that it's very user-friendly compared to other technologies."
"Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature."
"It help us monitor high risk services, blocking them, and also feeding them to our egress points."
"The product has a very high rating from reviewers. It's a well-respected product."
"It gives us visibility into how the data is being used within our cloud environment."
"DLP policies and anomalies."
"The solution performs well."
"Shadow IT reporting capabilities."
"It also prevents you from writing data to your Gmail and does not allow you to move your data outside of the corporate system. That is the most important feature for me."
"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."
"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."
"Akamai SPS Threat Avert's pricing could be improved because it's a very expensive enterprise solution."
"The services take some time to load. It would be helpful if the loading time was reduced."
"The performance of the tool can be improved to provide faster report generation."
"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
"The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable."
"McAfee needs to add more products that could be managed from the cloud."
"De-tokenization."
"Though the Skyhigh Dashboard is processing large amounts of data, the speed of the Dashboard could be improved."
