What do you dislike about Symantec PAM?

Of course like each effective, expansive company, it can be difficult to urge bolster or somebody on the phone to troubleshoot. I think this can be why matching them with a proficient administrations company is incredible since you’ll get an astonishing item with way better bolster for when your framework goes down Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Symantec PAM:

Make beyond any doubt you've got purchase in from the top. No arrangement for this can be cheap and you must have CEO, CISO endorsement for such an item. They can offer assistance offer it to the other bunches within the organization. In the event that you do not have purchase in, individuals will discover back entryways or reasons they can't utilize the arrangement. Remind them that this may (on the off chance that executed appropriately) dispense with review discoveries! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Symantec PAM?

this product is good for endpoint security Symantec Endpoint Security delivers the most complete, integrated endpoint security platform on the planet. As an on-premises, hybrid, or cloud-based solution,. A unified cloud-based management system simplifies protecting, detecting and responding to all the advanced threats targeting your endpoints.

Endpoint security delivered your way. With a single agent, protection across traditional and mobile devices, and on-prem, cloud or hybrid management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec PAM?

The stability was not the best. There were times when antivirus updates broke it. It wasn't necessarily self-updating - at least, not in terms of the virus signatures. It updated in terms of the executable files. Therefore, when Windows updates would come out, they often couldn't be installed, or the computer would hang due to the fact that the updates weren't compatible with the antivirus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Symantec PAM:

We decided to review the security of our endpoints because of the large of number of computers being hacked. We had good experience with Symantec in our servers so we decided to have it installed in all our computers. With Symantec Endpoint, you can deploy to PCs as a standalone antivirus or through the Symantec Management console. With the management console, you can push Symantec agent .The Symantec product by itself is a fairly good "Reactive" software. We have used it for years and it consistently blocks known Malware. However, the customer support since moving to Broadcom is the worst support i have seen in 30 years. There is no way to speak to someone, and they will not call or escalate no matter how many times you request it. We have been forced to abandon our Symantec Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Endpoint Protection scans computers for security threats. It is used to prevent unapproved programs from running, and to apply firewall policies that block or allow network traffic.

What do you like best about Symantec PAM?

Initially the ease of deploying the appliances. It has gotten more difficult due to our growing knowledge and desire for greater HA and redundancy. Rotating a password either manually or via scheduled job works as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec PAM?

It doesn't integrate with all of our products and there is no agent for the Mainframe to allow for A2A to initiate from the mainframe to the mainframe or other distributed systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Symantec PAM:

Make sure you have buy in from the top. No solution for this is cheap and you must have CEO, CISO approval for such a product. They can help sell it to the other groups in the organization. If you don't have buy in, people will find back doors or reasons they can't use the solution. Remind them that this could (if implemented properly) eliminate audit findings! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Symantec PAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company had home-grown solutions for managing root on linux and admin on windows servers. They worked but were not designed with the strictest security in mind. Home grown solutions become a problem over time. The people that created them move on and people lose documentation on how to support it. It also can be difficult to upgrade as OS changes come about. We needed a more robust product that could be supported exclusively by the security team. We needed a better option for protecting privileged application IDs especially in our LINUX systems. We needed a product that could stand up to a SOX, PCI and/or HIPAA audit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
