Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good.""Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install.""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.""Protects me from internet vulnerability.""The most valuable feature is the quick installation.""We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers.""The dashboard is good."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Pros →

"The scalability works well.""Smart Protection is great for monitoring traffic, particularly email, and protecting the endpoints. Both are valuable.""As a Japanese company, it doesn't have any restrictions on usage in our country.""The solution integrates well with other Trend Micro products.""Trend Micro Smart Protection includes compliance features where you can establish rules against endpoint vulnerabilities and attack parameters. It offers Smart Detection, Smart Update, and sandboxing to detect and analyze suspicious files, providing a smart approach to zero-day threat detection. Trend Micro Smart Protection offers rapid response to zero-day threats with a strong team backing up the discovery process. Virtual patching is a crucial feature, effectively closing vulnerable ports and access points. Regarding web reputation services, aggregating data from multiple sources, including Trend Micro, Proofpoint, and others, helps inform threat prevention efforts and automate responses.""Product-wise, it is amazing. It includes DLP, vulnerability management, and application whitelisting features. These features are very good and add value in selling this solution to our customers. These features make the key selling point. I recently did a comparison with the FireEye firewall for a customer. They were basically going to replace Trend Micro with their EDR. Because of these features, I could convince the customer that Trend Micro is better than FireEye.""The AI is excellent.""The tool offers centralized security management. The tool's deployment is flexible."

Cons
"Sometimes the program is too complex.""The solution can improve the security modules.""During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved.""I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium.""The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed.""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 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."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Cons →

"I want the tool to provide the solutions integrated within it to have regular updates. Currently, the solutions integrated with Smart Protection get updates from the cloud. I want to minimize the download from the cloud.""Trend Micro Smart Protection needs to improve its compliance features to cover more domains, such as BCIDSS rules. Enhancements in this area would enable quicker and more comprehensive compliance reporting.""There is room for improvement to make it better for customers.""The only notable concern is the level of support in the particular region of Sri Lanka. Following events in the past two years, the quality of technical support has regrettably declined.""The only drawback to this solution is that it needs different products for different types of clients, and it would be better to have a single agent for all of the products.""Some functionalities within the DLP can be improved.""The solution’s technical support is not very good and could be improved.""The solution's device control options are not too beneficial."

    Overview

    The more connected you are and the more your personal information is out there, the more security you need. Do you watch videos or shop on your tablet? Use your smartphone to pay bills or check your balances? Your personal information is in multiple places. Keep it private across all of them. Norton Security Premium provides one easy solution to protect your computers, smartphones and tablets, even on multiple operating systems: Windows, Mac, Android and iOS — and Windows 10. Plus, only Norton shows you if that Android app you’re about to download will impact your battery life, has potential privacy risks or contains malware, before you even install it from Google Play.

    Traditional security solutions can’t keep up with your users. Turning to multiple point products to address the myriad of challenges only increases complexity and may leave gaps in your security. Plus, you need a flexible solution that can grow and change with you as you migrate from on-premises to the cloud. To effectively counter today’s evolving threat landscape, you need integrated security that consolidates your view across all layers of protection and all deployment models.
    Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Complete is a connected suite of security capabilities that protects
    your users no matter where they go or what they do. This modern security delivers the best protection at multiple layers: endpoint, application, and network, using the broadest range of threat protection techniques available. Plus, you can evolve your protection along with your business using flexible on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployment models that fit your IT environment today and tomorrow. In addition, you can manage users across multiple threat vectors from a single “pane of glass,” giving you complete visibility of the security of your environment.
