### "Walls of Jericho!!! "

November 16, 2021

5.0

The work that I do requires security of the highest order. With the internet full of all these cyber hackers, one can never be too safe. Norton helped put my mind at ease, and I've never looked elsewhere.

Pros

\* Quick and very effective, the best for any system. \* I found it to be very easy to install, and the system requirements were not that high. Any computer both new and old can use it. \* The pricing is very low given the experience and what you would be getting in return. It is a sure bargain.

Cons

\* With a good security software, comes the burden and having it do its thorough work. Scanning the entire computer proved to be the biggest con for me, it took forever to finish. \* The interface was a bit hard to adjust to at face, after a while, I understood it. It might not as be simple for other beginners.

### "Adds a great deal of protection to your computer or laptop, for a fair price."

July 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software is able to identify and intervene almost all threats to your digital security with impressive speed.

Cons

It's protection is so good, that it identify some needed things as threats, since they leave a gap in your digital safety. For exemple, some anti-hack softwares needed to play some videogames are identified as threats since they have access to your personal data in order to check for hacking activities. As such, to play those games, you have to whitelist the program manually.

### "Norton is way too heavy for the job"

May 31, 2022

3.0

Pros

Norton has a good threat coverage (at least it claims it has).

Cons

Norton is very heavy, even for the newest machines available. It takes a while to respond to threats and diagnosis takes a while.

### "A great option"

October 28, 2019

5.0

My experience with Norton was a good one. In the end, I decided to let my subscription lapse in favor of my Operating System's free option (Windows Defender) and that has been a great move for me. But, that's a decision that I would not have been willing to make had I not tried Norton.

Pros

Norton Security provides a great option for anyone looking for security and antivirus options. It's easy to install and not expensive. Several OS providers do offer free / included options these days so I recommend that you check that first, but if you do not have this option, Norton/Symantic is a good option.

Cons

It does add some bloat to your devices ... meaning it takes up a good bit of storage/memory space. But, if that is not a concern, it's a good option

### "Solid internet security product"

July 21, 2019

4.0

Pros

Norton Security is very effective at detecting and blocking viruses, malware and phishing sites. It has a dashboard that looks really nice and is easy to understand and use. There's frequent updates to provide protection against the latest threats. It performs quick scans silently in the background without having any impact on performance. I like how it scans downloaded files for any that could be infected. It also has a very nice cloud storage option that is very useful.

Cons

There aren't really that manage negatives. One I can point out is how difficult it is to uninstall it completely. Another is that the iOS version still isn't as robust as those of other platforms.

### "Great security suite for full protection on the internet"

September 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

Overall a great security software to prevent a plethora of issues form happening on ones computer. One of the things I most like is you can buy a group package for not too much more then a few single licenses. This allows you to install it on many computers. To me this is a great feature, I can install on my desktop and laptops and still manage them all from the same location.

Cons

I did have one issues on a computer where norton twice wiped out a critical file that the computer required to boot up. At first I thought it was a fluke but after re-install the same thing happened. Only had it happen on one computer but still troubling it happened, false positive'sare never good.

### "A wonderful experience with Norton Antivirus "

July 8, 2022

5.0

Our organization have always had issues with malware, scams and phishing, until Norton Antivirus. Now, we're confidently working, with the assurance that all forms of Malware is being tackled with!

Pros

Its super tough firewall and overall performance, as well as the phishing protection behavior of the software makes me love and recommend it for any growing organization.

Cons

I hardly find anything not likeable about the software, but the fact that it's a little expensive may serve as one reason, especially for individuals who have little money to afford an excellent Antivirus.

### "Good overall protection - Not great for admins (Norton Anti-Virus Small Business)"

March 18, 2022

4.0

Overall, the price is right and Norton does what's its' designed to do. It will work best for a smaller team where you can have the team involved in security management.

Pros

The Norton Antivirus for small business offers a lot of value. It's reasonably priced in my experience for a small business level anti-virus and gets the job done.

Cons

Not much visibility for the IT admins. Unfortunately, Norton Anti-Virus for small business doesn't offer nearly enough insight into the status of the product on the team's computer to the IT admin. There are no rules that can be set (to say prevent it from being exited). The only information you get is if the computer is online or something is wrong but you're not told what's wrong. It asks the end user to open it to see the error message. In my opinion, it would be far more efficient for the IT team to have insight and visibility into the problem and resolve it.

### "Norton provides a good basic security suite; their VPN is horrible, though."

July 16, 2020

5.0

Good basic security suite for WIN computers.. built-in firewall, port monitoring, anti-virus. Their VPN is horrible, though.

Pros

Easy to use software for use as a security suite.. anti-virus, firewall, etc. Norton is essentially the standard that other security software is referred to..

Cons

Norton's VPN is horrible.. it slows down your internet connection to a crawl. Also, their VPN has to by turned on manually every time you reboot. It doesn't stay on.. I stopped using their VPN due to the internet speed issue, but still use Norton for their other features.

May 29, 2018

5.0

Easily protect your devices from online threats. Spywares, Virus, adware, hackers and etc.

Pros

Very reliable and serious company. It is awesome the capability of Symantec to keep improving their software year over year. Tha main problem used to be the memory usage but they solved this flawless with a very smooth, soft and beatiful software. The user interface is great and can be easily used by everyone with just a few minutes to understand what each tool can do.

Cons

The only cons about this software is about the value, It is expensive but if you need a great, reliable, ease to use and constantly updated software to protect your device could not be so expensive compared to the value of it.
