Before selling VERITAS ; Symantec was the only company that provided complete security solution in the world with vast portfolio of products in CIAM (Confidentiality - Integrity - Avalability - Management) and we all know security is CIAM and without any of these four there is no security ,now symantec is just like any other security company , its like sophos or mcafee even these companies are trying to enter in Availability and management section of Security.
i think symantec forgot that what is security, dear symantec if you want to focus on security you must have Availability and management solution.
