Pros
I like how reliable it is. I've never had any bugs, glitches or hiccups with the functionality of the app. Also, the VIP access app seems to be very secure.
Cons
I wish that you could refresh the access code. There is nothing more frustrating to me in the morning when I am trying to log in than not being able to populate a new access code if you screw the first one up.

Symantec allows me to minimize worry
Reviewed on 2018/12/12
Pros
Once installed, I don't think too much about it - until I get a pop-up or email that triggers the software to warn me about potentially unsafe emails or websites
Cons
Nothing much - I've been using this software for about 3 years and have no complaints.

Reviewed on 2019/04/07

Since we implemented this software, I've had virtually all of my spam emails quarantined! Easy to use and helps keep inboxes clutter free!

Rarely I will have a false positive email caught and quarantined, but it's easy to release.

Simple to use to protect you from threats while browsing the Internet. Tranquility on the information highway
Pros
The biggest advantage is that it is very easy to use protecting the data, your virus scanner email is efficient and protects against users not allowed and their emails spam, spyware and malware. The support is excellent, responding briefly to any problem that arises.
Cons
Its great disadvantage is the price, but it is the opportunity cost of protecting the equipment worth it.

Very Secure
Reviewed on 2019/03/30
Pros
It does a very good job filtering emails that are secure compared to not. It does a good job at recognizing vendor notifications which can sometimes look like spam without blocking them.
Cons
It is a pretty heavy load on the computer. It will slow you down.

GREAT !! A true value for money product. Must buy.
Pros
I have been using Symantec for over 2 years now and i am quite happy with the overall experience as it has always been a mid layer between me and my online activities with respect to the online banking, personal data protection, user firewall. The threat control feature is one of its kind, and it really very helpful as it automatically filters the malware, viruses and other online threats which could be harmful to any of the devices, as PS's, Laptops, Mobiles or tablets. They have come up with the state of the art features such as threat cloud, Sonar, which is also a unique feature which determines suspicious activities and prevents them too. Application lock is also an added feature. But please make sure that your purchasing the licensed copy and keep on updating it online.
Cons
As long as a end user concern, i dont think that there are any loop holes or any drawbacks in this product at it knows it's role very well and stands on the responsibilities so that we can surf, transit and do all of our online activities without worries.

High End Email Security
Reviewed on 2018/10/18
Helpful customer support!
Helpful customer support!
Pros
With Email Security.cloud, you can be sure that every email is protected. The possibility to determine fraud emails is a great feature of Email Security. Unwanted emails are then placed in Quarantine where you can sort out data, remove or repair them. It also has an anti-virus and anti-spam feature, which is a great addition if losing your emails is a worry for you. I have personally used this for years. It is an “install and go” type of program which means it does its job after you install it and can be left in the background to run.
Cons
It has misdiagnosed a few emails into Quarantine. This happened once or twice.

I like that it works "in the background" - I don't have to open it, I don't have to tell it to do its job, it just does it. Our company had a ransomware issue before getting this product and not once sense.
Cons
No product is perfect, but I really don't have any complaints.

The service is really good but best used for professionals who may need to sort through a lot of time-sensitive and important mail.
Pros
Very easy to use and does an impeccable job at getting rid of the mail you typically don't want to see.
Cons
Scanning can be quite slow and if you're not careful you might miss out on newsletters or promo emails that somehow always end up in your spam.

Corporate Security
Reviewed on 2019/06/14
Pros
At my prior employer we handled thousands of companies' personal health information on their employees. This type of data is highly sought after by hackers, so we had to make sure we were always hyper aware of digital security. We chose Symantec as the best protection for our clients' data.
Cons
At times there would be issues with VPN connections over hot spots or public WiFi. A minor, but common occurrence.

Seems to do the trick
Reviewed on 2018/02/06
Pros
I received a free version of this software when I purchased my computer. So far I haven't had any attacks of spam that have gotten through. Being a freelance designer I get sent many files from many different computers and am asked to visit many sites. I feel its important to stay protected.
Cons
Once you move passed the free trial to get all of the good features it can get a bit costly; however, against the cost of having to repair an entire computer it's fairly negligible.
