We've had some issues with stability where there was downtime for a few hours. Usually, over the last three years, there's rarely been downtime. It could be better. However, it is okay.
I'd rate the stability eight out of ten.
View full review »The tool is very stable. I rate the stability a seven out of ten. It's an on-premise application that runs on a virtual machine. It has dependencies on the hypervisor host that we're running it on. If it's not configured, the application can be influenced by it. Sometimes, there is a service stop error while the service is still running. Sometimes, the service just stops. Some policies do not act the way that we intend them to respond.

Stability is good and they offer both cloud-based and on-premise solutions.
View full review »We did not face any downtime, but updates take too much time. The product required a GUP server. We installed a GUP server in each location. Every system was updated from that location’s server so that the network traffic was reduced. We implemented this solution due to the slowness we faced in Symantec.

The stability is good. It's not buggy or glitchy. It works well. The performance is good.
I haven't messed with it in six years, and prior to that, there were not really any issues. It was a pretty good product, and they kept up with security patches. I noticed that we have a product that looks for vulnerabilities. If it's alarming, Symantec will come back and say, "No, we're good, we don't have that code in our product." They seem to have been pretty good with that.

I've noticed lately that the solution can be buggy.
I have observed a few updates that have bugs. Right now, the solution is not updated due to some bugs that are coming from the updates. Currently, the company will not pay for the box from the software. That's why virtual appliances are not updating.

We have used it for many years, and I never faced any issues. Even if it crashes, let's say the VM itself rebooted or something, then it does Linux basic things and it comes back online.
