"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."

"Not ideal for advanced threat protection."
"Symantec appliances need improvement. The whole appliance environment is a robust system and it needs a massive amount of storage space.
