Symantec VIP is the "Old Guard" of MFA—and that is its greatest strength. It is a rock-solid, enterprise-grade identity shield that excels in highly regulated environments where security failure is not an option. While it lacks the "flashy" interface of newer competitors, its deep hardware integrations and proven reliability make it a top choice for Fortune 500 companies and financial institutions. If you need a solution that "just works" at a massive scale and passes every audit, Symantec VIP is the standard.
Pros & Cons
- Simple to use and displays a very useful menu in a little square.
- Easiest way to achieve authentication through external devices
- Unique partnerships with Intel provide a deeper layer of security than standard software-only MFA.
- If you lose your device, the process to unlink the old device and then registering a new device can be tricky
- Process for enrolment is long and confusing that should be easy and user can setup initial things quickly
