This solution could be improved with risk-based authentication. I think that this product has everything that most customers are looking for, but modern technology has people looking for security tools with risk-based authentication, which they have a separate tool for. If they could integrate this, it would improve Symantec Advanced Authentication. They have to look at what's newly trending and how things are moving forward, and then adapt and adopt those features. Symantec's technical support should also be improved, in terms of response time.

Advanced Authentication talks about the Device ID. But how the device ID is captured, I want to know more about that.

We have seen quite a few issues with bugginess. It is indeed pretty buggy and we have had to install some fixes.
