Norton 360 vs. Sophos Virtualization Security

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.

For our small and medium-sized businesses Sophos Virtualization Security has been a perfect fit. I barely recognize it is even in place as an end user, and as a manager my team never complains - it just works and works very well. If you want an easy to use and seamless solution, this is it.

• Norton works quite quickly and is efficient enough to detect threats
• It is very easy and simple to install and is without any complications and irrelevant inquiries.
• Norton is available at a very reasonable price in the market and is not heavy on pocket.

• Antivirus is old hat for Sophos - we haven't had a single breach since its implementation
• Managing and deploying Sophos was very seamless
• Its non-intrusive nature to the end user has been better than any of our prior options.

• 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.

• Instead of automatically installing our previous solution, we had to manually do it, but it may have been that solution that caused the issue.

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.

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

Would like a manual or online version that is simple to understand and explains in detail what choices we have and why to make these choices.

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.

Sophos Virtualization Security has the brand recognition and the customer support that really sold us on the solution. The pricing was also very competetive and Sophos came highly suggested from our vendor and references.

• 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.

• Security is like life insurance - you can spend as much as you want and still not be fully covered... but with Sophos, you don't have to overly spend to feel covered.
