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…

Has helped protect mobile communications and prevent risky app usage while providing timely threat alerts
I am using the real-time scanning feature in Trend Micro Mobile Security. Whenever a message comes on my WhatsApp, Trend Micro Mobile Security can scan it, and whenever I press and click on that link, it immediately tells me not to click as it's harmful and malicious. It's a very good system; whenever I install any product or application on my mobile phone, the application scanner scans and tells me about the vulnerabilities in the application. Most of the applications I have removed on the recommendation of Trend Micro Mobile Security. I find App Reputation services beneficial. Trend Micro Mobile Security is good at responding immediately and making the user aware of potential threats, which is a significant improvement over my previous experience with Kaspersky mobile security over 10 years ago. As of now, Trend Micro Mobile Security is efficient and a very good solution. Mobile security has a positive impact, as one of my colleagues who didn't use Trend Micro Mobile Security had his WhatsApp hacked while traveling, with the hacker requesting money. The other colleagues and senior executives use Trend Micro Mobile Security on their mobile phones, and when we go to open Wi-Fi, Trend Micro Mobile Security notifies us that it's not safe.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We have not had any issues with bugs or breakdowns."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"Trend Micro Mobile Security is good at responding immediately and making the user aware of potential threats, which is a significant improvement over my previous experience with Kaspersky mobile security over 10 years ago."
"Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support."
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"The solution effectively detects virus trends and prevents threats."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"The only disadvantage I see is that my mobile is very slow after installing this scanner."
"There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"Contact Backup."
"The main challenge with Trend Micro Mobile Security for iPhone users is the complex setup process due to Apple's stringent security requirements."
"There is a delay issue when receiving emails on mobile compared to a laptop."
 

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."
"Very cheap in cost"
"Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
