Centralized security monitoring has improved visibility and streamlines incident investigations
The best features are the increased visibility that Armor Anywhere provides. I personally find the most valuable features to be a centralized dashboard and the alerting system that provides a consolidated view of security events. We also have visibility across the platform in different environments, which makes investigations more efficient and helps reduce manual efforts. Armor Anywhere has a positive impact by providing the security visibility required to investigate potential security incidents. We have also reduced the manual effort significantly. We have seen significant improvements primarily in operational efficiency and incident response. Centralized monitoring and alert correlation has reduced the time required to investigate. While I do not have the exact metrics, we have seen noticeable savings during investigations and improved coordination between security and the operational teams. From a governance and security perspective, I have found Armor Anywhere to be strong because it provides centralized visibility and control access to security information. These capabilities help support security operations and improve the oversight across environments. Regarding Armor Anywhere's AI capabilities, I have found the output to be accurate and reliable. The alerts and security insights align with what we observe during investigations, which helps build confidence in the platform. While security solution findings still require validation and review by the security team, the platform does a good job in identifying relevant alerts, reducing noise, and the consistency in alerts visibility provides help for us.

Easy to use with a good user interface and excellent management capabilities
The solution is very easy to use. It's not very complicated. It's easy to control our users and to block users from accessing the internet, for example. I'm able to easily manage my internet's bandwidth. The firewall is fantastic. It's one of the most valuable aspects of the solution. The initial setup is pretty easy. The solution has good integration capabilities. There's the opportunity to do a seminar with the company, in order for users to help better understand the solution. The user interface is quite good. Everything is easy to find.

"As far as new ransomware and the next-generation malware is concerned, Symantec is not quite up to the mark."
"The reporting has fallen behind competing products and needs to be updated to meet or beat the competition."
