McAfee Total Protection (discontinued) vs. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile

I think McAfee is great to have whether it's for work or for personal use. While it has some drawbacks, I like the peace of mind of feeling safe when I'm browsing the web/email, especially when my computer has sensitive/confidential information, knowing that McAfee will immediately detect any threats. The UI is extremely easy to navigate, which makes it easy for users regardless of how tech-savvy they are.

Although
it is extremely rare, performance issues can arise when we protect data because
of the rising volume of traffic on our system. The constant version updates
annoy me a lot. It's difficult to upgrade the clients frequently if you have a
larger number of clients.

I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer. Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably. In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.

Even programmers who build complex code do not experience any
negative effects from this lightweight agent, which cannot be readily destroyed
or removed so that devices are always being watched. Additionally, it offers
deception technologies that other suppliers frequently do not in comparable
solutions. It has the capacity to proactively quarantine potentially infected
devices.
