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.

Helps us block ports, like TCP and UDP, and we don't need to use Active Directory GPOs to block anything
One suggestion I have for both regular and mobile would be to collect all the information about installed software, such as versions, and give that information to the manager to help with software management. That would be a huge advantage for everyone who administers these tools. For example, EDR gives me some applications with a version linked to a CVE or a MITRE attack. That's really interesting, But we don't know about other software that is installed and that means we need to install and use other software on the workstation to collect that information. If Symantec could do that, it would help managers improve their security, as they would know all the software installed on each device. Because Symantec is already installed on a workstation, it would not be difficult for the agent to collect information about the software installed. It wouldn't need to do anything other than collect and share the information. That would be a huge advantage for the administrator. The more information we have about a device, the more secure we can make it. For example, there are types of software that can open a port that an attacker can use. If we know that such software is installed, we could just act before something happens. If Symantec could collect that software information, it would be amazing.

Cons

"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."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The product could always be more secure."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"The solution can improve the security modules."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] cons
"The support needs to be better. When we upgrade, we can run into issues, and it's hard to get the help we require."
"The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old."
"Sometimes tech support is a bit slow to find a solution."
"The artificial intelligence of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security could be better."
"Every time an OS comes out, I have to upgrade the Symantec product. They don't know how to patch it. If they would produce a patch instead of uninstalling or installing over the current version and rebooting I'd be a lot happier with the product."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
"The device can be outdated. More enhancement of network and discovery would help already great features."
