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.

I love this application called Prey because it traces my devices extremely fast showing me the exact location of where they are, it is very easy to configure and only requires a single account to associate 3 or more devices for their protection, their plans are very economic and the best thing is that it can be used for both personal and business life.

What do you like best about Prey?

I enjoy that you can get photographic evidence of whoever has taken your phone/computer/tablet, and goes above and beyond the 'find my iPhone' app in customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prey?

Similar to most tracking software - there is a requirement to be online, and an unfortunate refresh rate - which causes some technology to slip through the cracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Prey:

if you have a whole network of technology - you really should upgrade to have devices - it's well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am able to keep track of apple products and travelling technologies with a peace of mind knowing that students tend to be bad at returning items, or being responsible for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I live in Chicago in one of the areas with the highest thefts in the entire city, so I downloaded prey to make sure that I am safe from this kind of theft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was hard to set up my account and when I first downloaded it and tried signing in online, it didn't recognize that I had downloaded the app on my phone even when opening the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It ensures that if my phone was to get stolen, a picture of the person who stole it could be taken and would make identifying the thief much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prey?

The free version lets you add only 3 devices per username used for signing up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
