The initial setup phase is very easy and user-friendly
The tool is installed on my laptop, and it works fine. I am not using the tool as a SOAR security product. I use the tool for my personal system and not for the server The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email. The tool's price is an area of concern…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance is fine."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The solution has good performance."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email."
"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."
"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."
 

Cons

"The updates must be less frequent."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."
"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-effective."
"During procurement, we discovered that acquiring licenses in packages or bundles, such as the one for 20 users, was more cost-effective than individual licenses."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"The tool has a yearly licensing."
"The price is fairly acceptable."
"On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the most expensive and one is the cheapest, I rate the price as nine."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
