More MetaDefender Pros →

"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product.""We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers.""The most valuable feature is the quick installation.""The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good.""With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product.""Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface.""The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection.""Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."

Cons
"The documentation is not well written, and I often need to talk with support."

More MetaDefender Cons →

"The solution can improve the security modules.""Sometimes the program is too complex.""The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem.""It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""Security Premium's cost could be lower.""The product could always be more secure.""I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium.""Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
