We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It does not take many resources during scanning.""The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good.""Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install.""We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers.""The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good.""The most valuable feature is the quick installation.""Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable.""The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate.""Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers.""The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful.""It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product.""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.""I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support.""The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

Cons
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved.""It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""The solution can improve the security modules.""The product could always be more secure.""Security Premium's cost could be lower.""Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly.""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.""The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Cons →

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it.""We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out.""Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine.""I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously.""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.""Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN.""It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information.""It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

  • "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."
