    Password reset is where they perform well. The product is very economical compared to other SSO vendors But even with this price, there is a lot of improvement that is needed. The management is poised to make changes but the engineers at Cross Identity need to take their job more seriously in my opinion.

    Symantec VIP is best suited in environments where you need two factor authentication. As explained before, Symantec VIP is super easy to use and manage for our users across our entire organization. If you have your users using a virtual private network, Symantec VIP is the way to go; no doubt about it!

    Pros

    Broadcom
    • 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.

    Cons

    • 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.

    Our experience with Cross Identity has not been very good, particularly recently, we are in the middle of many issues, outages etc. The management has given us all kind of assurances but we are still waiting for the results to start show.

    Support is not appropriate. I mean the product support ad managed services both. It would be great if they can introduce a more coherent project governance structure. Advise to management, please encourage your engineers to take their job little more seriously. The product is full of bugs and have not been tested thoroughly.

    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.

    • It was as easy to implement and manage as promised, so that definitely saved us time and frustration.
    • It allowed us to improve on our existing PHI and PII security measures.
    • Allowing secure access from remote locations, especially smart phones, was a huge plus.
