"Silent, non-intrusive ant-virus software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

Symantec Endpoint Protection is one of the best-in-class anti-virus software. It works silently in the background and has a non-intrusive way of notifying users of any suspicious activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no major dislikes, however, the onboarding process is a bit cumbersome for amateurs as it asks many questions about the modules and services you want to install such as IPS and IDS, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent Security Protection Product"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

It is simple and easy to use, very user friendly. The interface that it has is pretty good and reads out well. Whatever you need is outlined well and if you do have questions or concerns about the product the technical support is knowledgeable and able to help in certain circumstances. The mobile application of the product is different from others I've seen and stands out very nicely. It has a more modern feel to it and requires very little training to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

At times the customer service can be difficult to deal with if you need them, they are not always there or you have long lines/queues to wait in. There are some kinks and bugs that still need to be worked on. I disliked that I was not able to use the product for a longer period of time as the employer I was with who did implement it seemed to be going in the right direction and was very knowledgeable in the software and background of the product.

"Great"
5/5
What do you like best about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

Symantec Endpoint Protection gave us the live updates, log history and run time scanning. It also works for virtual servers.

It has multiple features like anti-malware, firewall and intrusion prevention which prevents data loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

Symantec Endpoint is very good in the use of system resources, however, there is a noticeable lag of approx 1-2 minutes for the system to shut down.

When scanning takes place it slows down the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid solution"
3/5
What do you like best about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

The easiness of the design, UI and the plenitude of options that it offers to users that have a normal account (without paying for premium). It is really effective in searching for threats, containing them and making you choose how to deal with them once they are safe. Also it provides a very low footprint in terms of battery and storage consumption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

The fact that it sometimes detects genuine apps and programs as a threat and tries to deal with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use this app for a short time but it is enough, to be sure that, it works well. Protection is good, and it takes not much of free space from my memory. Also, I have trust with this app because it is used on other platforms and works well there too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

I do not like that it takes more processing power than other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5
What do you like best about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

It is reliable and fast when you have the app installed and if you have a supported browser Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Mobile Threat Defense?

It sometimes seems to "forget" that I authenticated myself and I have to send a code to my phone to verify my identity more than once a month. And I don't think it lets me save my identity in Safari which is kinda inconvenient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
