    Many await the promised feature for SEP to manage the Symantec security solution for Linux..

     This still remains an obstacle to the "single pane of glass",

    Any roadmap for this?

    Hello,

    SEP 12.1 would have packages for Linux. SEP 12.1 will not manage Linux. 

    NOTE: SEP 12.1 is under BETA and would be Released anytime this year.

    Key Features

    • Unmatched protection from the world leader in security
    • Seamlessly integrates antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and intrusion prevention as well as network access, device and application control (Symantec Endpoint Protection only)
    • Requires only a single agent
    • Powerful central management of security for physical and virtual Windows and Mac endpoints
    • Enables instant NAC upgrade without additional software deployment (Symantec Endpoint Protection only)
    • Antivirus and antispyware for Windows, Mac and Linux clients (Linux – Symantec Endpoint Protection only)
    • Built to secure your virtual infrastructure

    Reference:

    Again, SEP Linux could not be Managed from SEPM.
