Top 10 Apps Blacklisted in the Enterprise
SkyDrive:
Previously known as Windows Live, SkyDrive is Microsoft’s cloud storage where users can upload any files into the cloud and later on view them from any device that is being synchronized to their account. Users can see recently used documents, upload content from their mobile device, manage that content on the go and email links to the files in the cloud. Easy sharing can be a boon to an enterprise but it can also turn out to be a headache and make the organization more vulnerable.
"Companies don't want their data leaking, so data sharing apps are a major concern for corporations," Dale said.
Pandora:
Pandora is a personalized internet radio service where users can create and customize their own radio stations by specifying the artists or the genres. Once subscribed, users can also use its desktop app giving them more of a clut free music experience. Similar to Netflix, Pandora also uses heavy bandwidth.
“From a company's perspective, Pandora and other music or movie apps can impact network bandwidth and quickly run up data plans," Dale said. But, that's not the only issue companies have with Pandora. "It's a question of ifs they're contributing to the user and the device being productive," Dale said.
