Considered Both Products	Symantec VIP RS Raphael Soares CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Chose Symantec VIP 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Symantec VIP Symantec VIP has far fewer glitches than programs such as McAffee. Our company has tried other programs with failure, but now that we've switched to Symantec, our workplace confidence and efficiency has gone up. With ease of set-up and security of 2-factor authentication and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Symantec VIP Duo is good but Symantec VIP really takes the cake. Both Symantec VIP and Duo Security are used as a two factor application but Symantec VIP also allows you to use physical tokens. Some of our users prefer those over their phones and we can easily leverage Symantec VIP for that. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose Symantec VIP Symantec VIP was the preferred vendor duo to the flexibility and reliability. It was a very simple implementation and ultimately the best choice for our institution. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose Symantec VIP Symantec VIP is too easy to use for our company. IT sets it up for us and we simply have to request for them to add new devices each time. It is an app and the numbers refresh fairly quickly. Overall, it is a painless integration and simple enough that all the employees can use … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose Symantec VIP We liked the pricing and support structure of Symantec VIP when compared to Azure Active Directory. When stacked up against Duo Security, the name recognition was also about the same (as it was between Symantec and Microsoft). We liked the speed of the mobile implementation … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Symantec VIP When it comes to Symantec's value offering, it's on par with its competitors with the exception of not offering offline tokens. Other competing products offer offline tokens so this is definitely something they should think about adding. The interface is better than some of its … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Symantec VIP Symantec VIP compares really well to other alternatives but there is no offline token key. This is a features the competitors are starting to offer which makes a difference in the event the user has forgotten their token or there is an issue with the online verification. Incentivized Helpful? David Reese Endpoint Support Technician Chose Symantec VIP VIP access manager is a whole lot more flexible than RSA: with the ability to attach to land lines or sms text messaging, it was definitely the right move. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Former Employee Chose Symantec VIP It is a trusted company and the product is easy to use and highly secure. Easy to implement across a large organization.

User Testimonials
	Symantec VIP
Likelihood to Recommend	Broadcom 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! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Broadcom 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. Incentivized David Reese Endpoint Support Technician Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Broadcom 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.

Return on Investment	Broadcom 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.
