Pros
"It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft.""It is easy to use.""Cloud-based service and management.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""The VPN we are using is good and working quite well.""In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.""Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment."

Cons
"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them.""Geofencing needs improvement."

"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS.""I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve.""Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."

    Overview

    Symantec VIP Access Manager is the next generation control platform that integrates Single Sign-On (SSO) with strong authentication, access control, and user management. It offers users and administrators control, convenience, and compliance for public and private cloud- based applications. Symantec VIP Access Manager solves cloud security problems using identity and/or context-based access control across multiple cloud applications. In the cloud, where a traditional enterprise perimeter doesn't exist, this solution fills the gap. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, administrators can define policies that utilize the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to enforce security and compliance for applications without getting in the way of productivity. Symantec VIP Access Manager can also protect and consolidate access management for on-premise web applications. It also simplifies compliance auditing for cloud applications by consolidating logs across all applications it protects.

    Venafi automates protection for machine identities, which all organizations rely on to keep communications between machines secure and private. Venafi generates the machine identity intelligence necessary to automatically safeguard the flow of information to trusted machines and prevent communication with untrusted ones - all at machine speed and scale.
