"Symantec, a help desk users best friend. "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

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.

What do you dislike about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

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.

What do you dislike about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

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.
