Ensuring long-term reliability while seeking internal email management enhancements
Prisma is a commercial name of the firewall now, but we don't work with the cloud product. Only our company is using it and we do not recommend it to customers. For us, it's transparent because it's a cloud product, so we don't really know the version as it's always updated. We have not had any problem, but it's difficult to report on what's going on because some days they can wash out perhaps 100 mails, and then it's difficult to say how many attacks you have reached. The right email has been washed out and then nobody has complained. We do not use the Threat Visualization feature; as we are in MX, the mail is washed out before it is in the mail inbox of the user, thus avoiding any problem requiring a reservation. In fact, there is no integration with existing security frameworks. The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail. I rate Trellix Advanced Threat Defense a nine out of ten.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."
"It is stable and reliable."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"I see ROI, as it stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"This solution is very easy to use and requires little to no training."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"The solution is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
"The support on their side is not readily available. It takes a while."
"Some of our customers have mentioned the lack of a tool that would allow for remote capabilities without being attached to the internet."
"Make the ATD appliance a part of the whole product offering and take the whole thing onto the cloud."
"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."

"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
