Overview
Introduction
This report provides a summary of the capabilities of the leading enterprise
security vendors based on a quantitative assessment of their market impact and
end user sentiment, as well as the technology features that they offer.
Datamonitor also provides guidance for enterprises looking to deploy
enterprise security solutions.
Scope
- Provides an overview of the most important trends affecting the enterprise
security market and influencing its competitive dynamics.
- Delivers an overall comparison of enterprise security vendors in terms of
their technology, user sentiment and market impact.
- Presents a detailed view of each vendor' s enterprise security offering and
capabilities, as well as advice on the suitability of these offerings.
- The report covers the following vendors: CA, Check Point, Cisco, HP, IBM,
Juniper, McAfee, Microsoft, Novell, RSA, Symantec and VeriSign.
Report Highlights
Symantec' s broad security portfolio covers all major areas of enterprise
security with the exception of I&AM. Symantec' s move towards IT systems
management, through the Veritas merger and the Altiris acquisition, places it
in a unique position to take advantage of the coming convergence between
security and systems management.
Although McAfee and Symantec have the broadest coverage of all vendors, they
are notably absent from the I&AM area, where they chose not to offer any
solutions at all. In I&AM, the dominant vendors are infrastructure vendors,
namely Novell, CA, HP and IBM.
Datamonitor considers IBM to be the leading systems management vendor and one
of the most influential infrastructure and application development vendors.
This position allows IBM to heavily influence many aspects of the security
market and the standards that govern this market.
