    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!

    If your systems are using standard authentication models then it is well suited. OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0 etc are all supported.

    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.

    • Overall, the product works well but does take time and effort to implement in highly complex environments. However, I do not believe this is unique to WS02.

    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.

    • WSO2 works well when you need specific user sign-up information and allows you to then tailor the access, for example, to the job role or area of discipline. We use this to tailor the learning offered to a user upon initial login.
