In terms of stability, Symantec Data Center Security generally performs well, offering a stable environment. Like any software, occasional bugs may arise, but it is quite stable overall.

The simplicity of the agent's components, mainly reporting back to the management server and sending notifications, minimizes the potential for issues. While it's stable, there's room for improvement in terms of certain functions to enhance overall seamlessness. I would rate it eight out of ten.

It's not stable. You install this particular product to secure your most critical assets of the organization, and if this particular product is not allowing them to work properly as they're intended to, it shuts them down or can corrupt their Kerberos files. Every time we reach out to Broadcom or Symantec, they say, "Please share the kernel K dump of that, the kernel level dump of that particular machine." After checking, every time, they give us the same answer: "You have to upgrade the version of the product." 

If you are using an RHE machine, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1, and you have installed a DCS agent, after applying some patches or if you find that particular server has vulnerabilities, you need to upgrade to another version. However, it might be possible that a particular version of the agent is not compatible with the RHE server. It can eventually bring that server down. That's a major negative aspect of this product.

I'd rate the stability a two out of five in terms of its reliability. For Windows, it works well. However, for non-Windows options, it is not stable.

The product is stable. From a stability side, if something does go wrong then we should be getting reports in some form.
