"The firewall, IPS and device control are useful at protecting the environment."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."
"If there is exposure, we need to investigate the source of the attack, e.g., whether it came from the network or externally. We view the firewall logs, and if there has been exposure, then we use the Application Isolation feature. When there is an attack with on-prem, that system will go into isolation mode, removing connectivity to other internal systems. We also restrict the WLAN part to avoid that system broadcasting to other networks."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."

"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"The reporting function needs to be more user friendly in general."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
"It would be nice to be able to manage the endpoints a bit further. A valuable attribute would be the management of software inventory, software deployment, and third-party software deployment. I would like to see the ability to deploy and delete unlicensed software. Many users try to install what they shouldn't, so that would be really useful."
"This solution needs better compatibility with services and applications."
"It would be nice to have customized reports integrated on the main console with no additional DB server or BI server."
"The whitelisting feature does not work as expected."
"Need to improved orchestration for broken clients fixes."
