Enhanced mobile security with visibility into app and website usage, but installation challenges remain
We use Lookout for mobile devices, such as phones It has reduced our risk around mobile devices. I like the security features and being able to see what apps and websites people are using. There is nothing we have come across that we've desired. We have been using Lookout for one year. The…

Automation has replaced repetitive tasks and helps my team organize workflows in real time
Tines is overall good, but the setup can feel a bit technical at first. More templates for common workflows would make it much easier to start quickly without building everything from scratch. I can say that the documentation could be much simpler and mainly example-based, showing real workflows. Faster support responses would also help, especially when someone is building a very complex workflow so they can easily get support responses at any point. The setup time is considerable. It takes time to set it up, and the learning curve is steep. It is not hard once you know it, but getting started takes a whole lot of time and effort and slows new users down considerably. I will heavily dwell on a few things. More ready-made templates would help so you do not always start from scratch. A simpler onboarding flow for new users would also make it much easier to get started very quickly. Better in-app guidance when building workflows would also be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"We have not had any issues with bugs or breakdowns."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
"It proved that we could build enterprise-grade reliability into our backend without writing a line of custom Python script."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"For an analyst, it would take at least one hour to two hours to get the result with this much perfection, but with Tines, it happens instantaneously."
"Tines is a very solid tool overall; once you get used to it, it makes work much easier and saves a whole lot of time."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"Our investigation time has reduced from 25 minutes to three minutes per alert since using Tines, allowing us to respond to threats much faster."
 

Cons

"The initial setup requires a little bit of experience with configuration."
"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."
"There are three things that I would say could be better."
"However, for pre-existing SaaS software, it becomes a nightmare."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"I would like Tines to improve by adding more advanced AI features that can help automatically analyze security alerts, summarize incidents, recommend response actions, and identify patterns from previous incidents."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"The areas where Tines can be improved include the human, AI, plus automation model."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
"The setup time is considerable; it takes time to set it up, and the learning curve is steep."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair; it's comparable to our previous solution, and we carried out multiple POCs and POVs (proof of value). The product is worth the money we pay for it."
"Lookout is definitely on the lower end when it comes to price point and that seems to be the only differentiator. The technology is in place in this space and it's really about who is coming in at the better price point now."
