Symantec Mobile Threat Defense Pros and Cons

I really enjoyed the ease of access when using Symantec. I had been a help desk support employee at a college for about four years and we used this program to install on students phones and computers to protect their devices. It was easy to understand that we often had the students do it themselves. Very user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Symantec had little for me to dislike about it personally. However I could see how it would be annoying when the scan would take forever. That could be because we were using a bit of an older version. It might be different now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy when it comes to Deployment. The Support and the vendor team were always available throughout the implementation process and assisted in the case of error or technical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing specific..The experience was good overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to secure all traffic during use on all public wifi's is a great advantage to the end-user which I have and continue to enjoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The large delay opening and closing the application on my current iOS devices can at times be stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a great software which runs in the background and helps me remain protected. Symantec is a well-trusted name and is used by many companies for enterprise security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, though a limited number, Symantec can become too demanding on the resources and too defensive. I haven't been able to access certain sites which I know are safe. But i guess these sites can still have malicious embeddings so Symantec blocks them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can scheduled the scans to occur at times when you will likely not be using your computer. They can also run in the background while your computer is in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The logs for threats found do not make a ton of sense to me to be considered useful but it is likely that the Information Technology department at the organization in which I work has a better understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No obvious problems really, i was just using the product, so I cant speak for the exact effectiveness or price ect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that there is no free trial version available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The intense weekly scan is the most used feature for me. I also like the feature of changing the permission levels for third party apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
