A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

An easy-to-deploy solution for mobile devices that has high stability and scalability

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"Due to the fact that we bought a number of McAfee security products, one of the significant benefits for our company was the integration across multiple security controls, giving us a single pane of glass to monitor, administer, and manage multiple security controls."
"There is no issue with the stability of Endpoint."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies."
"One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own. The solution is very good at finding a lot of applications and notifying you about systems that have issues. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile can run headless without having to report back which I found very nice about it. I also like that the solution would create alerts when a certain amount of time lapsed for systems, and it would recommend going through and scanning the systems. As an actual endpoint protection product, Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is good."
"The biggest advantage it has is the VPN product that is incorporated into the solution."
"The patch management alerts are the most valuable, and whenever they have one, I get a notification and can then handle the upgrades or updates."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to power up a device and wipe the data remotely."
"One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
 

Cons

"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment."
"Application and device control needs to be improved."
"When there is an attack attempt on mobile, there doesn't seem to be much of a notification."
"I'm not sure if there's anything lacking; I personally don't use the solution too much, so I'd have to look at it a bit and do some more research. I'm more on the operation side of things."
"The product price is too expensive relative to the Egyptian market here."
"A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application."
"Having better, real-time support would be an improvement over having to send an email."
"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events."
