Symantec Validation and ID Protection Service (VIP) is presented as a
user-friendly, cloud-based strong authentication
service that enables enterprises to secure access to networks
and applications without impacting productivity. Also included with VIP Enterprise two-factor authentication is Symantec VIP Access Manager, a single access point to protect cloud and on-premise web apps via Single Sign-On (SSO).
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.
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 …
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
