    Users feel safer knowing that even if someone gets the password, but they can't access the accounts without the code on phone, and sometimes if no networks also with dynamically changing pin it also helps to sign in to the account without issues. Push notification also would be a great design so users can easily access it.

    • The UI is intuitive and simple to use and navigate. When generating a secure token to be used for VPN access, all the navigation is clear and intuitive. There is no confusion when our users use Symantec VIP.
    • Every generated token expires after 30-60 seconds, thus providing an extra layer of security and reducing any risk of someone re-using a token or pin to gain unauthorized access into our system.
    • The app is super responsive and has no lag and little to no latency. Everything loads quickly and is super speedy.
    • Our department can opt for a 6 digit code which we can use while logging in on different sites and SSO access can be easily set up and achieved with this tool.

    • when setting a token to a phone call, the phone calls often take a minute + to call the user.
    • When Symantec's VIP app is removed or reinstalled on a phone, the credential ID will change, and that dictates a call to the helpdesk to allow the user access.
    • Temporary security codes while handy, must be set to expire immediately to stay secure.

    The app makes it pretty straightforward to add accounts by scanning QR codes or entering setup keys manually. Even if you’re not super tech-savvy, the initial setup is usually smooth. Once set up, I can quickly open the app and get the 2FA codes I need without any delays or complications. The codes refresh automatically and are easy to copy over.

    Free and simple to use, no extra gadgets needed.


    Quick codes generate instantly, and I don’t need a signal or internet.


    Secure enough, much safer than SMS, and I’m in control since the codes live only on my device.


    Supports tons of accounts I can manage my bank, work tools, social media, and more all in one place.


    Overall, it felt like the best mix of convenience, security, and cost. Plus, it just works no fuss, no extra gear, just me and my phone.

    The Symantec VIP solution has a more easy implementation process, which makes implementation faster. The Prove Of Concept of the solution presents the best results compared with Duo. The final price charged was cheaper. Consultants that participate in the process get show to us in a more clear manner all scenarios where we can use the Symantec VIP.
