Prey Overview

What is Prey?

Prey is a cross-platform Device Tracking & Security tool to stay in control of remote assets. Mobile device tracking, management, and data protection available for laptops, tablets and mobiles. It offers a range of services for both personal and corporate use. The software and service are developed by the Chilean company Prey Inc., successor of the funding company Fork Ltd. Prey started in 2009 as a small tech company with a sole purpose: helping people keep track of their devices. 13 years later, our service evolved into a trusted multi-tool for both people and businesses. It's a service that protects over 8 million devices and their data every day, all around the world. We are experts at tracking, protecting and managing your work and play tech tools. And a proud team of people willing to support you. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗗𝗢 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗬? • Advanced Tracking Tried and tested always-on tracking capabilities. Locate laptops, tablets, and all your devices faster, on demand, and in real time, giving you the confidence of complete visibility. • Reactive Security: Create automatic triggers when unusual activity is detected. Lock devices, and wipe or retrieve files to guard your organization’s assets. Freeze devices and restore them to factory settings, not before gathering important evidence. • Simplified Management: Assign devices to employees, easily group them by usage, hardware, or area, and keep track of any hardware changes or odd behaviors like devices that have been offline for a while. • Evidence-based Recoveries: When a device is missing, Prey will gather evidence that's crucial for recovery, and deliver it to you in periodic reports that can aid the police's work. 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗕𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗢𝗥𝗬.

Organize your laptops, tablets, and mobiles in groups and follow their status and position globally. Control Zones will help detect unwanted movements that can be reviewed in time. ✔ It adds an extra layer of data privacy compliance. Make sure your fleet is ready to protect its data safety compliance against incidents that may put legally bound private data at risk using the platform’s custom wipe and file retrieval tools. ✔ It reacts automatically and gathers evidence. Configure automatic reactions upon movement detection to deter theft, and gather evidence to identify the thief. Or set up timed actions, like curfew locks to avoid usage out of office hours.

What do you like best about Prey?

The granular control prey offers for remote assets is incredible. The ability to locate, lock, recover or wipe a protected device brings some peace of mind in such a climate. The increase of remote users due to the pandemic has tested every industry. With Prey, security of our loaned / remote devices brings certainty in uncertain times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prey?

This is a tough question as I have not experienced a situation that I have found Prey to be lacking in. Their support is phenomenal, Fabián Núñez responds quickly to every inquiry I have made within an hour. This blew me away as my questions have always been made via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Prey:

If you do not have mobile device management or are considering a platform, Prey is the right choice. The management console is well thought out and easy to use. Installation can be scripted and automated quickly in a windows environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Prey solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prey helps to protect are mobile assets not just from theft but also insider threats associated with users. Protecting data and current configuration of the system from user interaction/intervention is a featured we utilizes in the event an employee leaves the company. We are able to lock the device as soon as we are notified of such a situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
