Likelihood to Recommend 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.

But with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint we have an all inclusive platform that even integrate with other Microsoft security apps such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud for enhanced threat insights and visibility.

Read full review Cons 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.

You have to submit requests for whitelisting applications. Scanning exclusions are tricky to find. Adding devices, especially Apple devices, is very cumbersome.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
