Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used norton antivirus plus and norton 360 till 2022. Norton antivirus provided the best in class Antivirus software but norton 360 was better not just featurewise but also the performance. I liked antimalware protection, network security etc.

Pros

Antivirus
Antimalware
Internet Security
Firewall

Cons

Performance in comparison with McAfee
High memory consumption during scan

Likelihood to Recommend

I have always used Norton for personal use although I had used Symantec Endpoint protection in one of previous company but I was not admin. So, I can speak of personal software, particularly Norton 360 as it provides full suit of protection of both desktop and network. It is also bit less expensive compared to McAfee for 3 year protection

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Norton adds a great value in relation to protecting our computers in the organizations from any sort of attack on our files. It provides a safer environment when browsing the internet and in downloading all files. It also performs a lot of updates almost daily which adds a great value.

Pros

Updates - regular.
Quarantine of files and it shows you what are the files.
It gives early warnings about any suspicious websites before opening.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

We receive external data a lot from clients that we need to download and they come stored on external flashes or on hard drives therefore Norton helps us a lot in catching all the attacks with no delay otherwise we could have lost all the data we have on our computers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Overall Norton is an incredibly useful and trustable antivirus in the market and has a history in desktop and web security. I like to recommend it to anyone who works from home with a personal laptop, it helps you save your files from threats. I actually have been victimization it for two years and I don't have any regret to date for my desktop file protection and anti-malware engine mechanically updates itself for contemporary threats and quarantines them in contrast to different alternatives. It even has a VPN with unlimited information that helped Pine Tree State and my team to check several of our internet apps that supported country timelines.

Pros

Norton is a completely clean-to-apply software program that gives many capabilities and options.
Antivirus is included, and your protection is always up-to-date.

Cons

Some pop-ups may be stressful with inside the lengthy run.
Sometimes it can be confusing because there are a few different programs that are used for different things.

Likelihood to Recommend

From what I've been capable of testing, Norton is absolutely the fine antivirus and the most efficient. It's quite straightforward: scans are best a click-away and are reasonably speedy in terms of time. And even as Norton is a chunk expensive, it makes up for it with its excessive-quality. Also, extraordinary purchaser support!

When my company contracted the services of this technological program, the first impressions were quite good. The integration did not have difficulties in our terminals, being the same almost perfect. It has a visualization that makes it a very simple tool for all types of users, whether professional or domestic, that make its use very useful.

Pros

Advanced protection against web attacks that take advantage of software vulnerabilities. Stops threats that traditional antivirus techniques do not recognize. Filter unwanted e-mails through professionally robust antispam protection

It is one of the most effective antivirus when blocking and removing viruses
It helps protect and monitor the home network. Automatically protects the PC when it connects to public wireless networks.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

<div>The operating system can work with Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or higher with the latest updates, patches and service packs installed or I have also used it with a Mac that works with OSX 10.11 Regarding disk space, you need at least 2 GB of free hard disk space (additional space is needed for temporary and quarantined files).</div><div>

Cybersecurity for the Endpoints

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

January 17, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

There was a time when having Apple products made one a lower risk cyber target. Nowadays, everything and everyone's a cyber target. And the level of sophistication of cyber attacks keeps growing, seemingly undeterred.

However, phishing attacks are still the #1 cause of a cybersecurity breach, which means we all need to deploy "layers." We needed to best ensure our endpoint security was covered, which means mobile. So we researched the ocean of mobile cybersecurity products.

Pros

Easy to install, automated and timely cyber updates
Strong mobile cybersecurity without impacting speed
Interoperability with our other layers of cybersecurity products

Cons

Easy to use without impacting speed of performance using the mobile version, but I would recommend faster updates when a new virus has been discovered.

Likelihood to Recommend

Every company needs multiple layers of cybersecurity. While we use other cybersecurity products for internal use, and by design that alone is great cybersecurity, we do prefer Norton for the mobile endpoint. It's both easy to use and doesn't impact mobile performance.

Norton was acquired long ago by Symantec, so interoperability with our other products is never a problem since it's their core business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My team was switched over to Norton last year. Prior to that we had been using an alternate anti virus software. Initially, we went with a pilot batch for testing the stability and the response from the users. The feedback we got was mostly positive. My team liked that it didn't slow their system down or hamper their productivity. It also let them open email attachments and browse with a little more confidence. We often receive documents from clients or users that are sent as an attachment so email security was a high concern for us. Norton has done admirably with that. No false positives that I am aware of, and it flagged off a couple of files that were suspicious.

Pros

Fast scans that run quietly in the background without disrupting the productivity of the users.
Really good at detecting phishing and other suspicious emails.
Not resource intensive. Works fine on old laptops.
Works well without needing input from our users who are often not tech savvy.

Cons

Interface could be a little easier to go through.
Initial load time was high for some machines running on Windows 7

Likelihood to Recommend

Really good if you have users running hardware that isn't cutting edge. Also very handy for users with limited or little tech knowledge. The pricing works well for small sized teams. If your organisation doesn't have a stand alone firewall, this one comes with one. Although it might be limited in capability compared to dedicated ones, it will suffice for most daily uses.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used this on my laptop for work. My work involved downloading Resumes and Documents multiple times on a daily basis so of course a security software is an absolute must. The requirement was something that would check and make sure I wasn't getting infected by a malware disguised as a document that was being sent to me. Norton did this job really well. It also comes built in with a really decent firewall which was handy when I am working while travelling and connecting to public Wifi. It kept my PC clean and secure in all the time I used this.

Pros

Can do a really quick scan that doesnt take much time.
Excellent malware protection.
Frequent updates.
Good detection rates.
Simple, clean interface.

Cons

It does impact the system performance. Not by a significant margin but it is noticeable. But its not bad enough to be a deal breaker. And if you have a decently modern PC I think you probably wouldnt even notice.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need a nice clean, no nonsense Anti Virus this one is it. The malware protection is excellent. The detection rates are solid. It scans pretty fast. The firewall is great and simple to set up and use. The browser protection is also really good. If you don't mind the (very) slight impact it can have on older systems when it comes to speed, then I can absolutely recommend it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Norton Internet Security provides our web customers with the reassurance that they are using a secure and trustworthy site. We work with customers nation wide and it can often be a challenge to create trust in situations where we can not speak with people face to face. Norton Security allows customers to feel safe in working with us.

Pros

It is a recognizable security system that helps customers feel safe while using our website.
It offers continuous support on protecting against virus threats.
It has an easy to use interface.

Cons

It uses a lot of RAM which can cause issues in other areas of computer use.
If you chose to un-install it can be difficult to get rid of all traces of the program.
The initial configuring can be challenging for the average user as the manuals are overwhelming. Better tutorials would be helpful.

Likelihood to Recommend

For our internet business, which is in process of growing into a large national presence, Norton Internet Security provides the security system that is recognizable across generations and regions as providing safe, reliable service so that a new customer can feel secure in doing business with us on our website no matter where they're located.
