SAP IoT Application Enablement vs. Symantec Critical System Protection

IoT Application Enablement is particularly useful when developing SAP UI5 applications that consume and use IoT data. There are many such examples in a number of business areas such as logistics, inventory management, process management, asset management, and others. IoT data is a key source of fuel for the intelligent enterprise.

Symantec Critical System Protection (CSP) is very well suited for environments that do not change such as point of sale systems and critical servers. This product is spectacular at protecting end of life operating systems when supporting legacy software prevents upgrades. When security updates are no longer available, CSP will prevent exploits and other malware from taking advantage. This product is not well suited for systems that require a lot of changes. For one, it does not notify when a change has been blocked by CSP, causing some server administrators to waste many hours chasing a phantom technical problem when turning off CSP could have solved it right away. Also, profiling takes time so systems that constantly change would need hundreds of exceptions made.

• Thing modeling is a particularly useful aspect of IoT Application Enablement.
• IoT Application Enablement supports a large number of IoT communication standards and protocols.
• It is quite easy to expose the Thing and IoT data as OData or other RESTful services

• Data Center Security 6.0 and higher allows you to easily build out policies to deploy to monitor/block what is required/needed.
• The agent that is installed on the hosts has a small footprint in terms of CPU and memory usage.
• The ability to customize it anyway you need to as well as utilize out of the box policies to monitor critical OS functionality.

• I believe SAP is currently combining IoT Application Enablement into SAP Leonardo IoT. It will be worth seeing what extra features are available then.

• Tuning takes a very long time
• Turning the product on or off can take time
• When an action is prevented by CSP, there is no pop up or notification, making this a burden for server administrators

While it is a good product, I feel like with SAP Leonardo IoT there will be a lack of support for this specific product. If it becomes part of the whole then this will be a much higher rating as their support is excellent. I'm just cautious while they combine several products into one. I have not used SAP Leonardo IoT yet.

They respond quickly and efficiently without the need to reiterate the actual issue. Their backline support is amazing and always there for us when it is needed. They explain the troubleshooting steps taken and what they did to help us resolve the issue just incase it creeps up again we have the information to correct it ourselves.

We evaluated Bit 9 and you have more flexibility with the rule set and do not rely on the cloud to tell you what is approved and not approved. You build out the policies the way you need them to be and who better knows the environment that the people that work it daily.

• Being able to incorporate IoT data directly into web applications is quite valuable, both to our customers and to our business as well.
• IoT data has helped us take advantage of other intelligent technologies such as machine learning.
• Many of our clients are looking to integrate their devices into their workflows, and this technology is part of that solution.
