We’re happy to share that Symantec was named a Leader in the Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Mobile Management, Q3 2014! The research conducted by Forrester Research, Inc. evaluated Symantec and 14 other vendors against 27 criteria for current offering, strategy, and market presence.
Symantec was identified as one of ten vendors that “lead the pack.” The leaders were noted for separating ourselves from other vendors by introducing a strong security background without disruption for the employee. Forrester defines Leaders as balancing OS, application, and data management functionality while providing flexible container options and productivity applications, and have demonstrated a strong vision and roadmap to help customers as they bring their PC and mobile management strategies together.
Symantec received a high score overall in the current offering category, and the highest possible score for App Security. Forrester Research noted Symantec for the acquisition of secure email vendor NitroDesk, maker of the popular TouchDown email client for mobile devices.
Findings from the Forrester research cite the change in mobile mind shift – an expectation that workers can be productive whenever, wherever they are. Additionally, Forrester Research found that enterprise mobile management (EMM) vendor landscape has “changed significantly over the past two years” and that large technology vendors are working to integrate their mobile solutions with existing offerings.
“Forrester’s research validates Symantec’s vision and strategy around mobility,” says Michael Lin, VP of Mobility. “With the upcoming release of Symantec Mobility Suite (v.5.0), we are enabling customers to be productive, and companies to achieve their business goals while protecting their information. We’re providing a unified solution that addresses the challenges and complexity of mobility.”
