"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"The firewall, IPS and device control are useful at protecting the environment."
"Its response time is the most valuable. It is very quick."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to manage antivirus security. There is an admin console that helps you make policies and do deployment of the clients, to make them reachable and to deploy updates."
"It is good for detecting signature-based viruses, and it is user friendly."
"Stability-wise, it is very good and we have had no trouble."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"I have found the central control console the most valuable feature."
"We never expect downtime. There is also great ease of use for my admins."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"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."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"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 should support the next-generation IPS. Currently, it supports only IPS."
"Symantec Endpoint Security can improve management because it is difficult to do. It is not a straightforward tool to use. Additionally, the dashboards and reports could be better. It is difficult to understand what exactly is your current status."
"The stability was not the best. There were times when antivirus updates broke it. It wasn't necessarily self-updating - at least, not in terms of the virus signatures. It updated in terms of the executable files. Therefore, when Windows updates would come out, they often couldn't be installed, or the computer would hang due to the fact that the updates weren't compatible with the antivirus."
"We are not satisfied with this solution. It needs a lot of improvements. It doesn't detect the most recent malware and unknown threats. With most of the users working from home these days, there is also a need for some extra security layer. That's why we are thinking of going for a better solution that will take care of all of our endpoints and work from home situation. Symantec also has to work on EDI technology. Vendors like Palo Alto and Cisco are coming with their own intelligence and cloud infrastructure in which unknown threats are regularly watched and monitored, and they are reported to the admin."
"The enterprise edition does not report attacks on external devices."
"We must have complete dissolution with advance care protection but we are finding out that we need more Symantec technical specialists. We have identified a need to hire at least one more technical specialist familiar with Symantec to improve our solutions capabilities."
"Difficult to set up on older systems."
"The whitelisting feature does not work as expected."
