"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The solution has good performance."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"SonicWall SMA has the most valuable feature of proprietary security technologies like Capture ATP."
"What I like best about SonicWall SMA is the relationship between its features and its price, because the solution is both affordable and functional."
"The management and the dashboard are the solution's most valuable features."
"The solution is reliable and has good overall performance."
"I like the load balancing capability."
"I am very satisfied with the technical support."
"This solution has many options for remote desktop and access."
"Blocklisting and allowlisting are the most beneficial features for network security."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"The solution could integrate better with other platforms."
"The product itself is very good, but Dell needs to work on product visibility in their advertising."
"Enhancing live tracking capabilities could improve the product, particularly in monitoring user activity and request statuses in real-time on the web interface."
"User interface could be improved."
"SonicWall's reporting isn't good. Reports should be part of a data plan. The login mechanism should be improved. It would be helpful if the client could use an agent to log in. An agent-server model would improve the performance of the RDB, which consumes a lot of bandwidth."
"The problem is that when combined with what the client already has, there are two different logins and two different management systems, and these should be consolidated into a single interface."
"The only thing that they could try to improve is the support for enterprise customers. Normally enterprises and SMBs can create a ticket, but for enterprises, SonicWall SMA needs to provide a global view, and this is what's currently missing. It's not even a question of timing. It's a question of the global vision because currently, it's lacking. They concentrate on the topic, but not on the means and not on the global picture. In most cases, there's something wrong with the integration of SonicWall SMA with other products, so that could also be improved."
"The solution has 2FA, it will generate a token and send it to an email, but multifactor authentication is not available. I would suggest that there should be MFA integration and provided with the appliance."
