What is Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile?

Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile (formerly Skycure) is a mobile security option developed by Skycure and acquired by Symantec in the summer of 2017.

Categories & Use Cases

Media

The Skycure app is lightweight and non-intrusive, yet provides detailed information about compliance and mitigation of threats.

Our Trusted Endpoint Software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It would profit from accumulating additional OS logs in a way

akin to Simson. The Graphical User Interface has to be simplified and made to

look more appealing. The

deployment and installation process went well and quickly. A significant amount

of time is saved by the server-side program's simple deployment and updates to

all the workstations.

Pros

  • When it comes to high-performance, lightweight single clients.
  • A single administration interface for both the physical and virtual protection, and scaled orchestrated response delivery, Symantec Endpoint Protection is the best option.
  • I enjoy the distant routine execution and even task scheduling capabilities of the centralized management system for admins.

Cons

  • It gives us a single, streamlined cloud console architecture that makes governance easy and supports our overall position on security terminals.
  • The Symantec software uses very little of the PC's resources, doesn't appear to slow down the system, and just works.
  • Our APM's defense and management have tremendously benefited from automated intelligence.

Most Important Features

  • Although it is extremely rare, performance issues can arise when we protect data because of the rising volume of traffic on our system.
  • Symantec had previously announced that it would no longer provide assistance for any corporate customers, but they now appear to have changed their minds and are now providing renewals for current customers.
  • Symantec Endpoint Security is a well-rounded product that offers a lot of flexibility.

Return on Investment

  • Even programmers who build complex code do not experience any negative effects from this lightweight agent, which cannot be readily destroyed or removed so that devices are always being watched.
  • The constant version updates annoy me a lot. It's difficult to upgrade the clients frequently if you have a larger number of clients.
