BETTER Mobile Threat Defense vs. Lookout

BETTER MTD is a mobile agent that helps you to secure your data on mobile and saves your mobile devices from risky apps, network threats, and system threats. It provides secure web browsing and blocks malicious websites and phishing pages. For the IT team, the admin console provides real-time status of mobile devices and allows them the manage the mobile devices remotely. It data security is prime concern for your company then this is a great solution else you can let it go.

Lookout is excellent for mobile device security. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a simple solution to guarantee peace of mind when keeping mobile devices secure. It's also excellent for finding a device that's been lost remotely, including an excellent feature for enabling audio on a device when it was put in silent mode locally. The web UI is easy to use and allows for powerful functionality through a simple interface. Lastly, it is an excellent secondary backup solution. I'd recommend having other potential backup solutions as well in case this premium feature ever expires and you aren't sure whether you have a most recent contact backup within Lookout.

• They're the global, mobile cyber experts we trust. They're ahead of the curve already. All I could suggest is, keep going in that direction.
• Perhaps, send out an occasional , brief update on global trends that business executives should be aware of, even when Lookout is already on it.
• Keep it brief, with a case study where a proactive action was taken and an event was avoided. Those would be shared enterprise-wide.
• More PR about your proactive actions would be educational for us all. NO FUD, will ever work, but seeing that there are actions we can take, even to the newest of threats will be very effective.

Lookout was chosen by T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T which many employees have chosen as their mobile network provider. From that standpoint, it made it a simple decision. Its cloud based technology gives insight across almost all mobile code in the world. Lookout identifies connections that would otherwise go unseen without deep investigation. It helps prevent cybercriminals from sneaking into mobile devices and that's the key component for any mobile security solution. MobileIron and other competitor solutions have a similar offering, but based on network provider support I haven't need to look into the competition extensively.

Incentivized

• Better policy management and enforcement by IT team
• easy compliance and risk management
• Data security and remote control over the confidential data

Incentivized

• Security is often hard to translate into ROI terms. However, having an option to locate a device does mitigate a possible large expense in fines or other issues with loss of data.
• Minimal cost/support needs, does not significantly impact support staff. So can add support without additional costs.
