   1. Symantec Management Center

      Symantec Management Center unifies management and reporting across Symantec products, under a
      single operating environment and single pane of glass.
      Central policy tools allow you to deploy effective web access security and governance across your entire
      organization.

      Management Center simplifies, by providing inventory and health monitoring for the spectrum of our
      ProxySG, SSL Visibility Appliance, Content Analysis, Malware Analysis, and PacketShaper products.
      Currently, Management Center is most powerful for ProxySG, adding object-level RBAC, scripting, and job
      scheduling. It also integrates with Reporter, for performance reporting that helps you see volume of
      malware blocks, understand risky users, and prioritize investigations and remediation—enabling you to
      operate a more effective advanced threat defense.

      Management Center brings together all of the various technologies, hardware platforms, and operating
      systems used by Symantec solutions under a single architecture, and it integrates configuration, policy,
      monitoring, and reporting across Symantec applications.

      Management Center also connects your security configuration to Symantec’s Global Intelligence Network,
      which integrates information from our customers, products, and Symantec Labs to block 99.9%+ of known
      and emerging threats.

      Reporter

      Reporter provides visibility into your ProxySG installation, with detailed reporting on video and web
      application usage.

      Reporter quickly processes robust log data from ProxySG appliances as well as conveyed data from
      WebFilter and CA appliances, and creates intuitive reports for security specialists, department managers,
      HR managers and network administrators.

      The customizable Reporter dashboard offers detailed views of user activity, web usage patterns,
      application access summaries, video usage, blocked sites, sites accessed by category, time of day, length
      of time and more.

      You can also evaluate security risks and block network infiltration through IM and P2P applications.
      Reporter also offers the ability to anonymize any data field in any report and has support for international
      user names, URLs, and domain names. More than 50 users or administrators can use Reporter
      simultaneously, each with his or her own customizable dashboard that provides a unique view that is
      important or valuable to their own specific role
