Er...what? Did someone say something...?

ETA I'm sorry OP, I know it was a serious posting but I just couldn't resist a reference to Anon type things...

On a more serious note, I actually remember when this was pretty much the only piece of software that could do all it could do in just one product. I never came across it too much at work as it was expensive but it was a product that some surprisingly (due to its license cost) small companies were using here. It was good software but like many of Norton/Symantec products, they never really updated it. I guess they saw it wasn't worth their investment anymore.
