There's also improved mobile device management (MDM) features which businesses with front-line workers will value. Now rooted in its cloud delivery service, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud maintains its focus on Microsoft Windows endpoints even as support for the Mac operating system (OS) has been expanded. Its business endpoint protection product is the Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud (which starts at $28 per device per year) and is delivered across four tiers, so businesses of all sizes do have some latitude in selecting which one best suits their device and user count.
