"Best tool to clean and optimize the operating system"
5/5
What do you like best about Norton Small Business?

I've been using Norton for several years now, and it really is amazing. It has protected my pc and my mobile devices in an exceptional way, which harmful or potentially dangerous file, quarantines it and removes it if it represents an imminent risk to my devices. Its license is cross-platform, which is a very useful feature, since I can have it on any device. Every time Norton finds a file, you will receive a notification and this allows you to decide what to do with this file that is harmful to your device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Norton Small Business?

I have no complaints about Norton. I've been using it for years and will continue to do so. Its price, availability and accessibility perfectly fit all my needs and demands Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making the server network secure"
4/5
What do you like best about Norton Small Business?

Good panel to control the antivirus settings for our clients installed on the server. The network is secure and allows also to set restrictions for clients. We can block ip's and websites. The keyword blocker is also a good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Norton Small Business?

Unfortunately it is necessaryto install the setup on every single client desktop. It would be more secure if we can just install it directly on the server and it would be installed automatically on every device connected with the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Norton for good online security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Norton Small Business?

I'm so happy and fully satisfied with Norton. I've tried AVG and Avast before but Norton gives the best performance.

Pros: I've been using Norton for my PC and Mac for several years now and it has protected both very well. It's very easy to use and customize (i.e. adding some programs to Exception List or Firewall). It detects which programs are a threat and quarantines them immediately. You'll get a notification once that happens and you can make adjustments if needed (if it was detected incorrectly). Their licensing is also cross platform which is a big factor for me. The license can be used on both computers and mobile.

Cons: Nothing to dislike from this software. I've been using it for years and I will never look for anything else. Price and quality of service is perfect for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Norton 360 Review And Feedback"

Great security feature and wall for my computers at home and also at my employer. Norton Secure VPN helps me block hackers from seeing what I do online or on my WiFi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Norton Small Business?

I dislike the subscription price for the Norton 360 software and think the price is too much for a consumer looking to use the software on their personal computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incompetent Organization did not back up their service failed in their SLA."
0/5
What do you like best about Norton Small Business?

Nothing is to like. Indian service desk, makes statements that they do not follow through on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Norton Small Business?

Indian service desk, makes statements that they do not follow through on. Condescending attitude, when asked to speak to a manager they refused. I clicked on a Symantec email, that was a pharming attack. When I called them, they denied responsibility, and refused to support me. Eventually, they said somebody was in my network and I needed to call Cisco. How would a network equipment supplier help me for a network intrusion? I had to sterilize my digital identity, due to their inept support. DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SYMANTEC or NORTON. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great software to guarantee you PC or Mac is safe"
5/5
What do you like best about Norton Small Business?

I like the Quick Scan feature and Account management that Norton provides to their clients. Its pretty easy to remove and add devices to your license. You can quickly check all your current device and plans online.

Their Customer Support is pretty good. I've been able to solve issues regarding to billing and installation with them. They also improved a lot now days, their software runs faster and consumes less resources in Windows 10 than in Windows 7. You won't get this from Kaspersky which its a pain in when talking about PC resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Norton Small Business?

I dislike that Norton will show you all your trial versions as in the Current product. I couldn't find a way to clear them out after they expired.

They suggest you to install addons in all your browsers when you open them. Its annoying (you can turn if off, but you have to do it for every browser) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Constant updates and not being able to follow what each update offers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
