Overall Satisfaction with Symantec VIP Access Manager

Symantec VIP is a great tool to facilitate multi-factor authentication to our remote users. The main purpose for this software has been to to authenticate users when trying to connect to the internal network when working remotely.
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) facilitates the means to allow users to have a seamless experience.
  • Two-factor authentication enhances the security for authenticating users when connecting to the company's VPN.
  • Mobile UI and accessibility are some of the great benefits of this product. The app is easy to use.
  • Reliability on the app. Most users dislike having the authentication app on their cell phone because if they don't have their cellular device on-hand then they're unable to authenticate.
  • Perhaps a bio-metric enhancement in the near future would take this application to the next level.
  • Allowed to facilitate remote access capability to employees making them more efficient.
  • Has allowed to meet our technical objectives by providing 2FA to enhance security, ultimately protecting the institution.
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.
Great vendor support, along with a great product solution.

It's a great tool, easy to deploy and implement. A dedicated radius server is preferred depending on the size of your organization. For an institution of 10-20 remote users a shared application server is fine. Otherwise, a dedicated server is preferred to handle the login requests and connections.
