June 20, 2019

Pros

keeps your old computer clean and secure, especially if you are still using internet explorer

### "Endpoint Review"

4.0

Works well, has been keeping viruses off our machines in our environment for many years. East to install, we use both managed and unmanaged versions. We recently downloaded version 14 and it seems more intrusive than it has ever been before, getting pop ups to allow on everything.

The application and device control are very useful tools that limit attacks from removable devices.

I like its ability to be deployed over the network, thus saving time and effort.

February 16, 2015

4.5

Pros

You can control your security by giving only certain users the ability to use removable devices.

Cons

This would have to be the high memory used by the program. You need at least 4 gigs of ram to properly run it.

### "Software worth buying"

September 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have used norton antivirus sofware by symantec and was quite happy with the antivirus, it kept my laptop safe from malware and viruses from the internet as well as external devices.

Cons

It was expensive compared to some other antivirus in the market, but it also works better so its a trade-off. If your devices are more susceptible to viruses go for it.

### "Stay away"

January 16, 2019

1.0

Pros

There are no pros - Symantec is a total waste of money, resources, and I'm amazed they're still around. Might be good for grandma/grandpa who have no idea how to use a computer

Cons

Works great if you want a system hog to gobble away your CPU cycles, memory, etc. I can't wait for windows to include this for free.
