“Solid product but customer relationship needs improvement”

3.0
Nov 17, 2021
During our production evaluation on Symantec ProxySG, it was the best amongst the products that we tested. However during our migration it is where Broadcom has took over and It was downhill from there. All the experienced technical and sales team have left the company and it was impossible to get help and at the end we need to pay for profession services to get us over the line.

Functionality of proxySG is very solid and with the installation that we have luckily one box has hardware issue and being in Singapore (Symantec hub) we were able to get an replacement very quickly. ProxySG integrate wells with other vendor products that we deploy and their open architecture makes future integrations possible The interface of the tools looks old fashion by does the job well.
