"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources.""It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well.""The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward.""They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing.""Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection.""It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses.""Speed""Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

Cons
"The product could always be more secure.""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.""The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed.""Sometimes the program is too complex.""Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly.""During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved.""Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Cons →

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot.""I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive.""The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked.""We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers.""Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support.""They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks.""Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention.""It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

  • "We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

  • "The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
