The initial setup phase is very easy and user-friendly
I had tried Kaspersky a long time ago. I think it is available only in India. I don't know for sure. I have used that one for a couple of years, but I didn't like it, and that is the only reason I went back to Norton. Kaspersky was not safeguarding me in all aspects. I had seen some loopholes in the tool, so that is the only reason I went for Norton. The only thing I like about Kaspersky is that it supports the mobile version.

Seamless integration supports small teams with existing skills
The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool. The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The performance is fine."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email."
"The solution has good performance."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"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."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
"I would rate Veritas CloudPoint a ten because it's done everything it says it'll do, and we've really not had many problems with it."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
"The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward."
 

Cons

"The updates must be less frequent."

"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The tool's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
"I don't care for the pricing or capacity license model from Veritas CloudPoint because there are cases where we back up the same data multiple times, yet we still owe from a capacity standpoint based on how much data is managed in our backups."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"The price is fairly acceptable."
"On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the most expensive and one is the cheapest, I rate the price as nine."
