Sometime the bandwidth of my network is low but it work quite efficiently and able to finish my work. It [gets] connected within seconds and sometime it also does not need password to fill-up, it automatically detects the password and connect within seconds. [Speedify VPN is] quite an expensive tool but overall good.

I think Symantec ATP is more of a medium or large-scale product where a company has a lot of endpoints. It is burdensome for smaller companies with limited IT support to try and get the product up and running. In addition I feel the new own, Broadcomm, is also trying to angle their product more to the large customer base. A medium or large scale customer in the need of end-to-end protection for their network really cannot go wrong with the product once configured correctly.

Pros
  • Security-wise they use the standard 256-bit military-grade encryption.
  • It has a built-in kill switch - used to kill a connection entirely when the connection drop or disappears.
  • Performance-wise it is super duper fast and has 200 plus servers available across 30 countries.

  • It was easy to install on machines in an active directory environment, and maintain/update whenever we needed without having to physically go to clients.
  • The interface was pretty well locked down for clients, which was good in order to stop accidental meddling.
  • Symantec has good online resources for current threats, including messages or warning signs and what to do/where to find them on a machine in case SATP cannot deal with it on its own.

  • Supplier support - Really dire. Technical support off shore was passable, but account management was non existent. Really reflects on Symantec poorly given our spend per annum with them.
  • Cost per annum. At the upper end of protection systems. With little or no account support this was poor value.
  • Proactive communications with customer

Symantec Advanced Threat Protection has done a sufficient job at identifying true positives. However, the UI could be improved and the amount of false positives is a little too frequent for my liking

No, besides to review documentation prior to beginning. That is what helped lead to a smooth implementation

Alternatives Considered
Most VPNs required four main features are 1) Ease of use, 2) Security, 3) Performance and 4) Value. The speedify, fulfils all features as compared with others out there. Specifically, It has a lot more security, is faster allows you to stream and torrent and all the things that really make VPNs worth their weight in gold

Proofpoint Advanced Threat Protection is a software with a high potential to detect and respond quickly to threats that target email, however Symantec Advanced Threat Protection provides a more complete protection that protects the entire network or devices and endpoints that are managed on a daily basis and has incredible ease of use. While Proofpoint Advanced Threat Protection is not a software that is very easy to use, it requires high maintenance and its protection is based on attacks that enter through email; this is why Symantec Advanced Threat Protection was finally chosen.

Return on Investment
  • More secured and faster allowing you to stream and torrent
  • Users can not find any live chat options if any queries, but provide email support and quick reply.
  • Not having a logging policy, impacts negatively when it's consideration regarding clients.

  • We haven't ever suffered from a serious security compromise, and I owe that to our Symantec AV.
  • Once installed and set up, it's difficult to pull it out of the environment and try something else, so it has a way of keeping itself stable.
  • Some customers have a hard time paying the price because they don't "see" it do anything, and wonder what they are paying for.
