Ivanti Connect Secure vs. Norton 360

If you can control the rollout of the client the Pulse Connect Secure is user-friendly. We often have a federation of endpoints that we do not control and those endpoints invariably cause pain during major upgrade cycles. It’s also not obvious that some of the default choices (like what type of VPN to use) actually degrades the service.

For a stand-alone business this should do the trick, but if using across multiple clients (multi-tenancy not an option). Default settings within the program will cause performance issues if not tweaked, meaning someone with networking experience may be necessary. Not ideal for MSP's unless they only have a few clients, as the manageability must be done within "the walls" of each company.

• Simple to deploy
• Provides flexibility
• Supports dynamic access management

• Norton works quite quickly and is efficient enough to detect threats
• It is very easy and simple to install and is without any complications and irrelevant inquiries.
• Norton is available at a very reasonable price in the market and is not heavy on pocket.

• Noisy SIEM integration.
• Major upgrades are tough to implement.

Incentivized

• It uses a lot of RAM which can cause issues in other areas of computer use.
• If you chose to un-install it can be difficult to get rid of all traces of the program.
• The initial configuring can be challenging for the average user as the manuals are overwhelming. Better tutorials would be helpful.

I did renew it before because support is great and cost is great. I believe that Norton has a very long experience in what they do and they are doing a great job with all the updates they provide and the work they are doing. Moreover Norton is going in the right direction for sure.

User interface is excellent. The green tickmark in the tray ensuring everything is undercontrol is so satisfying. I have turned on Auto updates so, I am not bothered about unnecessary download updates popup

At Adecco, first and foremost, we have Pulse SDP easy to use for our employees. This is a critical factor for us because employees are spending much less time calling into support than engaged in high payoff activities. However, when I have called in for support, Pulse SDP has been responsive and effective.

Would like a manual or online version that is simple to understand and explains in detail what choices we have and why to make these choices.

We found Pulse SDP to be a superior choice to AppGate SDP because we found Pulse SDP to have greater flexibility and provide an all in one solution. Because Pulse SDP delivers a wide range of functions and tools, the tool provided a much greater return on investment in our analysis process.

User-friendly interface (it's not just AV and users who were interacting with the product), performance, resource usage (most of the computers were not very fresh and that factor was very critical), efficiency, it shouldn't be just sitting on a PC - it should protect it, what was perfectly done with that product.

Incentivized

• The deployment was very quick.
• It improved security by using compliance checks.
• Access to resources by external parties was improved.

Incentivized

• Poor performance against Spyware and other threats despite claiming to act against them (recognizes very few and eliminates less) It is limited to viruses.
• Regular blocking of incoming scripts (in front of other antivirus)
• Little or almost no compatibility with the Windows XP Firewall, but they are involved.
