Protects against malware, viruses, and ransomware and is easy to handle
I have a full suite of Norton solutions to protect my PCs, including Norton Security Premium. The software is deployed on-premises, and I prefer on-premises deployment over cloud deployment, finance-wise. Professionally, we have some experience with other antivirus solutions, e.g. Sophos and Symantec, but I can't compare them with Norton Security Premium. Norton Security Premium is a solution I would recommend because it's easy to use, though end-users should be given more information about the different functions the software has, through a dashboard showing the functionalities. I was working in IT, so I know a bit about the product, but if you compare it with the knowledge standard end users have, I'm not sure if more than 50% of the end-users know what they are doing. The dashboard is very important, and I can't think of other features I'd like added to Norton Security Premium in the next release. I'm convinced that Symantec and Norton are the leaders, they know what they are doing, they cover all functionalities of spam, virus, and malware protection, etc. I'm rating Norton Security Premium eight out of ten.

Great granularity for policies or applications without needing hash values
The solution is cloud based which makes it easy to use for remote devices or work-at-home situations. The solution supports full trust or signature-based approvals. You can get very granular and band out policies or applications without having to do hash values. You can band through the entire environment by execution of the name or desk IDXE. This can be achieved on the policy side because of the signature, IOC, or naming convention itself. This is very effective for pushing more blockage or removing threats across the board. The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation. This is useful for monitoring several different companies in a workspace or workbook-type format. For example, I report and send out mass emails from a clickable button in an Excel workbook. The APIs all exist for each client. I push out automatic endpoint monitoring and reports every single day at a particular time, with a simple clickable button that serves as a scheduled task for fifty clients.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"The dashboard is good."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."
"Some of the valuable features I have found are the online documentation of the solution is well organized and thorough. I like the simplicity of bypass and the visualization of the active components."
"It has the best live response feature."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly stable solution."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"The EDR and reports were helpful in improving our organization."
 

Cons

"The product could always be more secure."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"The product cannot perform an on-demand scan. They could add this particular feature."
"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."
"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
