Symantec Directory Reviews Summary
Author info	Rating	Review Summary
Annalyst Programmer at a energy/utilities company with 5,001-10,000 employees	4.0	We are very happy with this product's enterprise security, reliability, and scalability. It has evolved well over seven years, and our colleagues are pleased with support. We recommend it, though social media integration could be easier.
IT Architect at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees	3.5	I found CA Directory integrates well, and setup was easy. However, configuration is awkward, stability needs work, and its complex design is a major drawback. I recommend it only if you have other CA products.
