We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 and Lookout based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"All features that we have deployed are useful. We do access office emails on our smartphones, and we have complete sync with Active Directory. Our calendar also gets synced in the MaaS360 application. We also ensure that the data from these official applications is not being misused by any of the employees. We have disabled cut, copy, paste, and all such features. It ensures that all the official data that our employees have on their smartphones is secure. Security is the paramount feature that we value in this product."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"The ability to send an iPad out to someone and have them auto-provision it when they are out in the field is fantastic. We don't have to have it all configured before we ship it. This is probably the biggest value add."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"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 solution is stable."
"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."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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."
"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."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
