Cisco Secure Access vs. Lookout SASE

Cisco Secure Access has allowed us to monitor and adjust access to web-based resources. We have been able to manage and provide granular rules to allow access to required resources. We are now transitioning to a more zero-trust approach, and so far, the product has demonstrated its capabilities, allowing us to move forward with this approach.

Lookout SASE is well suited for businesses with a handful of employees that are tying to keep their mobile devices secure on the internet. If your employees aren't using the web or interacting with emails Lookout SASE would be less appropriate. Lookout SASE has prevented employees several times from downloading or accessing malicious sites.

When evaluating secure access and Zero Trust solutions, we looked closely at several leading platforms including Zscaler ZPA/ZIA, Palo Alto Prisma Access, Microsoft Entra Private Access, and Netskope SSE alongside Cisco Secure Access.Our assessment focused on areas that matter most in large, globally distributed, regulated enterprise environments: security effectiveness, ecosystem integration, operational manageability, scalability, and ROI.

Workspace ONE is a whole gorilla compared to Lookout SASE. Compared
to Lookout SASE it is extremely easy to use and to add devices.
Workspace ONE has a lot of features but is extremely hard to use and
with a lot of errors. I would still recommend other MDM's instead of
Workspace One.
