CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile vs Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security

CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile extends endpoint security to business Android and iOS devices. It detects suspicious activity and links in texts, emails, browsers, and QR codes without reading or scanning their contents. It can block malicious links and unauthorized domains, and surface malware, network disruptions, spoofed identities, jailbroken devices, insider threats, and accidental data exposure. A central console displays mobile activity and device trust posture. Deployment supports zero-touch enrollment and existing unified endpoint management and mobile device management tools, with fully managed, BYOD, and personal unmanaged modes available. FalconID, delivered through the app, provides phishing-resistant multifactor authentication with real-time risk-based access decisions. Built-in blocklisting can act on malicious IPs, and Falcon Fusion enables custom incident-response workflows. Zero Trust Assessment covers iOS and Android, with an integration to Device Trust from Android Enterprise. Plans include Falcon Go at $7.99 per device per month, capped at 100 devices; Falcon Pro at $14.99 per device per month; and Falcon Enterprise at $19.99 per device per month. A 15-day free trial requires no credit card.
