    For a stand-alone business this should do the trick, but if using across multiple clients (multi-tenancy not an option). Default settings within the program will cause performance issues if not tweaked, meaning someone with networking experience may be necessary. Not ideal for MSP's unless they only have a few clients, as the manageability must be done within "the walls" of each company.

    Good if you like privacy and not having your data mined for advertizing and AI training.

    Cons
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • Cost could be an issue. They could perform a free trial at the beginning for people to check.
    • It would be good if you can do an online free check of your computer.
    • While the updates are good sometimes your computer is attacked by a virus they did not expect.

    • Exporting email (which I like to do for archiving) is awkward and slow.
    • Proton Mail Bridge (which allows access from other email readers like Outlook) sometimes has synchronization issues. Lately these just resolve themselves.

    I did renew it before because support is great and cost is great. I believe that Norton has a very long experience in what they do and they are doing a great job with all the updates they provide and the work they are doing. Moreover Norton is going in the right direction for sure.

    Usability

    User interface is excellent. The green tickmark in the tray ensuring everything is undercontrol is so satisfying. I have turned on Auto updates so, I am not bothered about unnecessary download updates popup

    Mostly intuitive and easy to use. A bit harder if you stick with two passwords (one for the account and one for the encryption).

    User-friendly interface (it's not just AV and users who were interacting with the product), performance, resource usage (most of the computers were not very fresh and that factor was very critical), efficiency, it shouldn't be just sitting on a PC - it should protect it, what was perfectly done with that product.

    Proton had a wider offering of products like vpn and drive. I ended up paying for a yearly subscription, I liked it so much.

    Return on Investment
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • Poor performance against Spyware and other threats despite claiming to act against them (recognizes very few and eliminates less) It is limited to viruses.
    • Regular blocking of incoming scripts (in front of other antivirus)
    • Little or almost no compatibility with the Windows XP Firewall, but they are involved.
