    It is one of the good platforms for security researchers to submit bugs and other vulnerabilities, it however, has some challenges, in terms of un-verified and duplicate submissions.

    Whenever you have computers that aren't easily accessible or you have a big site to cover (or multi location), Symantec Client Management Suite (CMS) is really great to manage all your computers, if it's for installation, software, licenses or even status. Setting up all you need from CMS can take some time, especially when you're in a multi-location site. We had to ask the Symantec engineers to help us a couple of times and set things up because even if we followed the documentation, it wasn't an easy task. But at least, the Symantec engineers are people that know what they do and they're really efficient at it.

    • Patch Management: We are able to easily deploy patches to all our workstations and accurately report on compliance.
    • Software Delivery: We do a lot of software deployments to our end users and with CMS we can quickly create policies or tasks to perform these deliveries and get quick results on our success or failures.
    • Inventory: Ease of use to get reports of what workstations have what software installed, patch levels, or hardware specifications.

    Cons
    HackerOne
    • A lot of duplicate bugs get reported, although it does offer automatic suggestion of previously reported bugs that may be duplicates, it is far from perfect.
    • Anyone can report bugs, a lot of them are not verified before submission. This sometimes leads to a lot of time spent in verifying if the bug is really actionable.
    • Each submission has to be treated with equal potential, a lot of time, some time gets invested in vulnerabilities that aren't as important as some others.

    • More transparency with the roadmap would be a welcome change. New and upcoming features are usually a surprise until a major Symantec Event takes place but little is heard about those features before and even after, in some cases, leading up to a release.
    • Documentation for some items is poor. Especially around the Workflow product. It was intended that the documentation for the elements in a workflow would be crowd-sourced, which is a good idea, but in order for that to happen, more people need to be using it and taking the time to draw up the documents.
    • Cost. Its always a big topic, especially in higher-ed, but Symantec could do more to lower its costs for some product lines in order to gain more acceptance and support. If that was done and more institutions could get their student workers to use the product, once they leave college and go into the "real-world" there is a possibility that they would start recommending Symantec products because of their use in College.

    Support at Symantec isn't that great. Client Management Suite isn't even listed on the Support Portal when trying to open a ticket. Your best bet for support is actually the user groups that Symantec hosts. The members of the groups are usually very responsive. With Broadcom buying Symantec, I've seen a huge jump in personnel leaving Symantec, so I'm assuming the support is just going to get worse. Recently for a simple question, I reached out to 5 people just to find out 4 of the 5 had left the company.

    These were very close and we liked HackerOne better. For a time we did have both and we felt the need to consolidate the information into one platform and end of life our internal offering. Overall we've been fairly happy with HackerOne.

    Although there are other tools that can be utilized I don't believe those tools are as robust as Symantec Management Platform. The Symantec Management Platform was chosen because of the value it returns internally and for our customers. You can pull just about any data element from an endpoint and provide detailed reports or great graphs for the C-Level

    Return on Investment
    HackerOne
    • Bugs that can't be tracked internally are submitted by external researchers, which is an important factor for security vulnerabilities.
    • Even if the bugs reported are duplicates, there still is provision to award reputation points, that keep the researchers engaged.
    • It also requires a lot of verification and validation, as a lot of the submissions are unverified to begin with.

    • SMP allows us to centrally manage all of our endpoints with little to no end user interaction.
    • With the new P2P downloading our bandwidth constraints have been almost completely removed.
    • Cloud Enabled Management (CEM) allows our remote users to receive the same updates as in-network devices without the need for a VPN connection.
