We performed a comparison between Akamai Secure Internet Access Enterprise and Trend Micro Web Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks and others in Secure Web Gateways (SWG)."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 solution is stable."
"The best feature of Akamai SPS Threat Avert is that it's very user-friendly compared to other technologies."
"It's a stable solution."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"It's a very stable solution."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"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."
"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."
"Akamai SPS Threat Avert's pricing could be improved because it's a very expensive enterprise solution."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
"There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
