Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Norton Secure VPN when I am sourcing certain pieces of information and need to do so quietly. I typically use the VPN to protect from unwanted solicitations and to avoid being a victim of spyware attacts while using my laptop and phones to shop and/or browse. I also like the fact that the software works fast. I can find servers from a variety of locations around the world if needed. The cost isnt bad either considering its less than $200 a year, which I consider to be a good value for the level of protection I recieve and there are several features available with the software which I haven't even learned to use yet but I'm sure may come in handy at some point.

Pros

  • Tracker and Malware blocking
  • Multiple Device Plans
  • No logging, tracking, or saving browser histories

Cons

  • There are no clear instructions on how to use Wireguard
  • Weak P2P support
  • The network is quite small

Most Important Features

  • No browser history
  • Available in over 29 countries.
  • Easy to use

Return on Investment

  • I have recorded no hard numbers
  • Business impact is notably privacy which is a positive
  • Return on investment is negligable

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I became aware of Norton Secure VPN when it became available as a part of our Norton Security subscription. The seamless integration with our systems that already use the software made it a no-brainer, rather than purchasing additional VPN software. I have used several others, and the Norton product is intuitive and always works as expected. You simply turn it on with the click of a button, and you can easily click again to select a region from a drop-down menu.
