"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."

"The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture... we would have to migrate all the infrastructure to be managed by the cloud to deploy this feature, so we have not deployed it."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
