What do you like best about Symantec VIP?

In my current organization there is semantic VIP setup the authenticate the users. The best part I like about symantec VIP is, it is hosted on cloud. Because of it is cloud hosted, it provides more security while authenticating the users. It gives secure access to data by the users.

It is very user friendly with simple graphical interface. Very easy to setup on phone. There is not limitation on phone model. Any smart phone can work for this. When it comes with finger print rather than code, it provides more security.

Also, I like about it is, this can be used offline. There is not internet connectivity required to see the code. That is why it's called Offline MFA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec VIP?

So far I did release anything wrong about it is but of course in initial days, I faced problems. In my current organization we use the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In initial day use of symantec VIP, I faced problem. Everything I got setup. VIP was in my phone but unfortunately my phone got reset. Therefore I needed to satup the same again. While setting up outlook, Symantec VIP access was required which was not yet setup and to setup VIP authenticator was required which was also not yet setup. All the services are connected to each other.

As part of solution, I made call to organization support central and they re-registered my new symantec VIP Credential ID into my profile and got setup. Then only I was able to use the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Symantec VIP?

VIP access has a simple and elegant design from the second a user logs in. In the case of the medical world where a unique code is used to authenticate the prescriber, the numbers are easy to use and the time limit is easy to interpret by the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec VIP?

There is little to dislike about the platform. The only hindrance is re-attaching the VIP system to a new device which only speaks to the system's protection of a user's data and login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Unique codes are given to medical providers prescribing controlled substances to patients. This system is a safe method of ensuring the prescriber, and not a hacker, is able to dispense medication. I am not making money off of this system, but it helps protect me, as a provider, and my community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Symantec VIP?

Symantec Access manager is a great multi authentication tool which is a great for connecting internal and external applications, web pages and enterprise application suites. It caters to various industry leading software like Paypal, ebay,One logic, T-mobile, imcu, USAA, Bank of Australia, etc. and various other industries. It offers Push authentication requests which doesn't require to enter anything, just swiping up will complete the request. It also has a QR code for digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. The unique credentials offered are clone proof and unhackable with 256 bit level of encryption. No need to remember two factor authentication codes as application extensions offered will run in the background and do the work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec VIP?

Symantec authentication offered on the mobile device requires you to have the mobile with you all the time to get the authentication accepted, which is annoying sometimes. While it offers exciting and great options of authentication methods to facilitate login, but a bio-metric enhancement or a face authentication method on desktop and mobile will be quite exciting and promising. The cost is also a deal breaker and hence other authentication applications from Google and Microsoft take a lead. The cost of investing the application is not justified and hence needs moderation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Symantec VIP:

It is a versatile and a secure connection tool built by a reputed company handling Anti-virus and Anti-malware software for years. The process of deployment is simple and doesn't require any level of expertise and development. Depending upon the size of the organization, one can easily configure with a Local Network of 100- 500 people. A grater workforce or a global deployment requires an enterprise version which incurs costs and also requires expertise help. It will handle all login / connection requests quite easily with a breeze thus minimizing risks and damage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
