Lookout is focused on HMI/SCADA application. It uses OPC to communicate with PLCs or devices.

LabVIEW is much more powerful. LabVIEW is a programming platform, like VC. It can do everything. LabVIEW DSC module adds the functionalities of Lookout to LabVIEW.

You'd better try the LabVIEW software, to better understand it. See this page. https://www.ni.com/en/shop/labview.html

Lookout is best suited to gather 1000's of data points at a modest rate (once per second) and is purely event based.  LabVIEW is still loop based and is more suited for strict control of aquisition on less data points at a much faster rate (100's or even 1000's of times per second).

Lookout uses very little CPU resources.  LabVIEW hogs your CPU.
