Redmond Magazine recently announced the winners of its 2013 Reader’s Choice “Best of the Best” Awards and Symantec came out on top, winning the highest number of awards for a single company this year. Symantec was honored with 27 awards – 7 gold, 10 silver and 10 bronze – with great representation across our diverse portfolio of products.
Redmond Magazine’s 2013 Reader’s Choice Awards seeks to give the customers’ view of which non-Microsoft tools they prefer to configure, optimize, secure, manage and host Microsoft’s core products including Windows, SharePoint, System Server, Exchange, Active Directory and SQL Server. Surveys were sent out to thousands of readers, with responses collected and then examined by a team of experts for accuracy (vendors were not eligible to vote).
