Security suite has protected individual devices from threats, while installation and network features require improvements

BIG-IP is actually the LTM, Link Load Balancer, which comes with ASM, meaning Application Security Module. It consists of multiple modules, such as ASM, SWG, and a domain DNS manager. ZoneAlarm allows defining trusted and public networks, which helps maintain security in public Wi-Fi environments. It offers comprehensive protection, securing PCs against threats. Users do not experience any system slowdowns while scanning. Harmony Browser protects all your browsing activity and is bundled with Harmony Endpoint and Harmony Connect. It provides a small but effective security layer and sometimes comes packaged with the larger Harmony suite.

Cons

"The solution can improve the security modules."

"The product could always be more secure."

"Security Premium's cost could be lower."

"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."

"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."

"Sometimes the program is too complex."

"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."

"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] cons

"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."

"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."

"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."

"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."

"The support is not always so effective."

"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."

"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."

"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."

More ZoneAlarm cons

"Pricing for this software is competitive."

"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."

"The solution gives the value for the money."

Overview

The more connected you are and the more your personal information is out there, the more security you need. Do you watch videos or shop on your tablet? Use your smartphone to pay bills or check your balances? Your personal information is in multiple places. Keep it private across all of them. Norton Security Premium provides one easy solution to protect your computers, smartphones and tablets, even on multiple operating systems: Windows, Mac, Android and iOS — and Windows 10. Plus, only Norton shows you if that Android app you’re about to download will impact your battery life, has potential privacy risks or contains malware, before you even install it from Google Play.

Broadcom

ZoneAlarm protects you by preventing hackers from remotely accessing and controlling your device, and lets you know which apps have excessive permissions so you can decide whether they threaten your privacy.
