Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. There's a lot of potential for improvement, especially in terms of integration with identity providers and other security solutions.
Take advantage of the feature set because it's fairly rich. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Lookout has a great vision for security in the mobile space, they're really focused on cloud-first. And so it's a very modern, very forward-looking system.

Lookout just announced that they are divesting their consumer market space, which has been acquired by F-Secure. It seems that Lookout is now focusing on its enterprise business. The challenge for Lookout is going to be scaling things, given how large their customer base is today. We'll have to see how they perform. Now that their consumer security group has been acquired, we'll see just how much they can grow. In the process, there are definitely going to be a lot of senior people talking about things like how they consolidate. In a situation where you're going into $200 million in debt, you're going to look at whether you can operate in a leaner fashion. It is a general concern, but overall, their revenue projections are looking really positive. Time will tell how it shakes out. Overall, from my perspective, they have that startup mentality and they're definitely pushing the edge. They're trying to gain as much traction as they can and doing a lot to make sure that enterprises understand what they're doing. They're doing a good job there. What they have to do is make sure, from a technology standpoint, that they can keep up. There definitely is innovation there, we can see it, but it's a half step behind some of the leaders in the marketplace. Making sure that they can keep pace is going to be the biggest issue. Regarding the RSA Conference, with my focus on consumer security, I'm seeing what the bigger picture is like for enterprises that are trying to run their operations. It is fascinating to see the commonalities between what a business's problem might be versus what a consumer's problem is. There are also some striking differences in terms of how each of the solutions being presented here can span both. There are a lot of smart people here who are very interested in really good technology. Translating that into the consumer space and making sure it's simple and they understand what's going on is going to be a challenge. However, I don't think it's impossible. A lot of great things are developed here that will eventually make their way down to the consumer space. It's only a matter of time.

I rate the solution eight out of ten. Overall, my assessment of Lookout for helping secure our remote workers' access to devices is that no tool is perfect. We have to augment it with the other controls we have in place at the bank, but we're happy with the purchase and have replaced the previous tool that wasn't working for us. We're satisfied to have found a solution that works well for us. We have yet to implement the endpoint detection and response with this particular product, but EDR is a feature we rely heavily upon for all our endpoints. We might not be licensed to use it yet with Lookout, so we have yet to qualify its EDR capabilities. To someone who has an existing mobile device management solution and doesn't want to add a secure web gateway product, there's a lot you can do with an MDM. Still, you usually can't run vulnerability management and attack prevention. With a mobile endpoint product, you can close the loop on the MDM, and that's how we use it. A robust MDM for device management and a good platform to reduce risks and manage vulnerability. In my opinion, you have to have both. My advice to others evaluating the solution is not to limit the protection of the mobile force to one product and to carry out a POC on several tools. Going for Lookout or any platform of this type, communication to the end user is the top priority, and top-to-bottom communication works very well in this case. It provides visibility and transparency from senior management to the end user. Communication is essential for a successful mobile endpoint security deployment.
Lookout is a well-established and powerful secure web gateway (SWG) solution that protects more than 200 million users from threats that can result from the penetration of unsecured web traffic into their networks. Lookout is designed to enable organizations to work remotely while maintaining a tight blanket of security over their confidential business data. It provides administrators with security that extends from their endpoints to the cloud service that they are using to run their...
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
