Unified visibility has improved security monitoring and simplifies compliance across environments

The best features Armor Anywhere offers are definitely the centralized visibility and managed security layer. Having a single dashboard to see security posture across environments is a big advantage. The centralized dashboard enables us to get better visibility in a UI form. It also helps with compliance reporting for audits and reviews. Overall, it improves the security posture and reduces operational overhead for the team. We've seen faster incident response times and fewer false alerts because of the automation and integration. From a compliance standpoint, it has helped us maintain consistent controls and simplified reporting for audits because of the automation. Overall, Armor Anywhere has helped us improve our overall security posture. It provides a solid, reliable cloud security solution which works across our hybrid environments and on-premises as well.

Mature, stable, and reduces threats.Symantec Managed Security Services has been relatively easy to deploy and operate. Symantec's support is knowledgeable at the lowest tier and responsive.

The part of the product that I think needs the most work is reporting. From time-to-time, we face different challenges, so flexibility and improved reporting details would be more convenient in order to get the information we need. If we generate a report from SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) we see all the details end-to-end. In fact, they also show us the global map as well. Symantec needs to do something more like this and expand the reporting capabilities to match the competition. The technology over time leads to change and evolution, and competing products need to stay in the race. Besides this divergence in reporting, Cyber Security Services is a genuinely great product. Besides the reporting, I think Symantec has to focus on some cloud service as well. Most of the appliances getting fees from AlienVault cloud have more focus on the potential of the cloud as it seems to be much of the future of all aspects of computing. I think these are the two focusing points Symantec needs to take into account.
