"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal.""It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.""The web control and the application control are two good features.""It was successful in preventing malware distribution.""Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos.""If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use.""The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall.""The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."

Cons
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved.""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.""Security Premium's cost could be lower.""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.""It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""Sometimes the program is too complex.""I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium.""The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Cons →

"The support could be improved. The response times are slow.""There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have.""The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset.""In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections.""The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users.""The solution could be more stable.""Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement.""The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."
