Hello Spiceworks
A couple weeks back, there was a thread on reddit in r/sysadmin taking Symantec to task for several different things. The OP related a story of an interaction with a sales rep that was…suboptimal to say the least. Over the following 24 hours, there were 150 posts touching on various topics, but mostly
- Platform support
- Backup Exec appliance
- Physical & virtual backups
- Marketing drives engineering
- Support
- Licensing
- Customer satisfaction
After seeing this thread, I reached out to a few friends inside Symantec to see if they would be interested in speaking with the redditors who posted. We talked a bit and thought it would be better to invite more folks. So this afternoon at 1.00 PM EDT we are going to do a Google+ Hangout. The cast of characters includes2 VPs & 2 Directors that are going to be on this hangout to address the topics of this thread and also answer incoming questions live.
Pablo Stern - Sr Vice President Information Mgt Systems
Blake McConnell - Vice President Product Mgt IMS
Jagdish Pavan - Director Enterprise Support Svcs
Piero DePaoli - Sr Director, Global Product Marketing
We are going to be taking questions via this thread, #SYMChangout on Twitter and the comments section of the G+/YouTube pages. If we don’t get to your question during the 1 hour broadcast, we will do our best to get to it afterwards.
Come talk to some of the Sr Leadership team at Symantec. We’d like to hear what’s on your mind.
This is legit. Not a marketing ploy to try to sell you anything, but a straight up conversation with senior leadership on what’s going on with Symantec.
