What do you dislike about Prey?

One drawback of PreyProject is that its recovery and tracking tools only work once the lost device connects to the internet. Until then, the system can’t update the device’s location or send commands, which can cause delays if the thief keeps the device offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Prey has assisted us in monitoring our computers that are on both short-term and long-term loan."
What do you like best about Prey?

Search capabilities have significantly improved since 2020, enabling us to efficiently locate a device or the individual assigned to it. Additionally, I appreciate the feature that allows us to assign tags to a group of devices based on department or other relevant criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prey?

The only potential concern to note is that improvements are most evident when a device is not receiving Prey updates. This situation can complicate matters, as the device may no longer be communicating with Prey servers. Consequently, it becomes more challenging for us to locate or lock a specific device when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A missing phone was found"
What do you like best about Prey?

Using a dashboard, you can track the location of all organizational phones while maintaining the privacy of every device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prey?

One thing I dislike about Prey is that its tracking features depend heavily on an active internet connection, which makes it difficult to locate a device when it is offline.

The setup process can also be a bit complicated for new users, and continuous tracking may raise privacy concerns among staff members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PREY a very good tool for mobile devices"
What do you like best about Prey?

The interface is super clean and very intuitive from day one. In terms of inventory management and security, it meets all the necessary requirements without complications. But what really makes the difference is the human team behind it: the support is excellent and, if you suggest an improvement that makes sense, they really listen to you and end up implementing it in future updates.

What do you dislike about Prey?

Nothing negative, with the provider all the issues raised have been resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gives me peace of mind at an affordable price"
What do you like best about Prey?

I was traveling abroad with my laptop and was concerned about tracking it if it got stolen. I thought the software would be complicated and costly, but Prey was simple to set up, easy to use, and very affordable. I spoke with a representative over the phone about my needs; they didn't try to upsell me at all. They recommended the subscription I needed - the most affordable one - and were incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prey?

I honestly can't think of any. There's a lot of features on Prey and I only use the most basic ones though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
