"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."
"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 stability is the most valuable feature. We haven't had any issues with the product."
"Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature."
"I personally don't have any issues with the performance or the stability of the solution."
"The product has a very high rating from reviewers. It's a well-respected product."
"It's a great product with solid features."
"What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis."
"They were very, very aggressive in the market to get a new market share or to take over market share while other companies were being broken up."
"The most valuable features of MVISION Cloud are the automatic reports and modification incidents."
"Overall, we're very happy with our product."
"Zscaler Internet Access protects using data loss prevention. If you have a CASB exposing your cloud out into the network, then Zscaler Internet Access will go ahead and control that unknown cloud application in the CASB, protecting it. There is also data detection with exact data match. This improves the data coming into your cloud so you are protecting it."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Internet Access is that it is a consolidated solution, it comes with many features, such as DLP."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to drop packets."
"The cloud proxy and integration are some of the key features. Since there is cloud waste, we can quickly provision it and start working on the configuration. On top of that, they have added a few more features. They have integrated CASB, and file sandboxing is part of it."
"Zscaler Internet Access's best feature is the granular policy controls."
"There is no lag in service when accessing the internet."
"In terms of management and visibility, there is a single panel where you can configure the policies for your entire organisation worldwide."
"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 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."
"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 only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
"The encrypted disk implementation could be improved. I currently use it from a dongle or USB key with two-factor authentication to access my computer."
"I would like to see more power being given to the admin. In the sense that in case an employee is facing an issue and they want to configure a service, like attaching an email in Gmail, for example, they should be given the option to make the service request and get that configured on the go."
"Needs integration with other technology ecosystems."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
"I think that the User Interface could be improved."
"The tool should improve the predefined dictionaries."
"Technical support could be better."
"The interface for administration could be better. They should upgrade the management portal."
"What could be improved in Zscaler Internet Access is its price. It could be cheaper."
"Zscaler needs to add client-to-client communication. It's always client-to-server communication. The cloud and branch connectors could be improved because we're still dependent on traditional firewalls. They should eliminate this. They should also provide WAN devices should to compete with the SD-WAN solutions also."
"One thing that they could improve is the ability to import rules from other platforms."
"Sometimes it's not easy to use during large deployments of workstations."
"Zscaler should provide adjacent services, which would be complementary to their current offering that could to be more pragmatic for a customer. For example, if you take Akamai, you get multiple sets of services, all depending on the customer and the strategy and the complexity and the problems. In some areas, they are more varied in terms of coverage."
