Likelihood to Recommend NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec)
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.
Read full review I'm not sure about pricing but I have heard from larger companies that it was not very accessible because of their size. We are a small company and we also utilize a SIEM which helped offset costs right off the bat. I think it makes 100% sense for IT departments that don't have enough staff to monitor their environment in depth.

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. Read full review SentinelOne provides excellent protection against known and unknown attacks to our endpoints. The recovery option provides a fast, first line of defense against ransomware and other system damaging attacks. SentinelOne requires minimal administrative support making it a very cost effective and efficient solution. Read full review Cons NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec)
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. Read full review Possibly for compatibility with legacy Windows OS's and non Windows OS's. Some settings are greyed out and unable to change but I believe this is to protect you from making a bad configuration change. Could do better with reporting at the base level subscription.

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.

Read full review Usability NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec)
Well organised interface.
Read full review Compared to all the other major players, SentinelOne is truly hands off. One installed, the tool is able to manage all the major threats on my endpoints without intervention. The biggest thing the IT Dept has to do now is just clear the incidents after SentinelOne has dealt with them. Every other tool I have used requires significantly more effort to maintain.
Read full review Support Rating NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec)
Security software with very good features that works in the background.
Price suitable for companies of any size and easy to install and use.
Read full review Their support is good and quick to respond. The one issue we faced was when a non-protection issue arose there was a lot of dancing around trying to figure things out. This was frustrating as it took significantly longer to figure out issues. Lots of repetitive log gathers, screen caps, uninstalls that never seemed to resolve issues. Eventually, the product would be updated and the issue seemed to be resolved, but seemed to be the only solution.

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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec)
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.
Read full review Webroot is a great product but did not provide the versatility that we really were desiring. It allowed to us to centrally manage, but required policy-based management, and not the endpoint detail we wanted. SentinelOne's central management provides a variety of options for us to deploy and manage.
Read full review Return on Investment NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec)
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. Read full review SentinelOne has already proved its value by stopping attacks that would have gone otherwise unnoticed until much later in their infection process. The Vigilance team has provided quick response to threats that were not easily contained via the automated response SentinelOne's agents provide. This has given us a significant piece of mind.
