Extensive parental controls available on some plans Cloud backups for your most sensitive data High-quality safe browser Cons
Identity theft protection features are only for US-based users Higher resource usage than most competitors Reaching human customer support is difficult Slow VPN

Norton started as an antivirus company in 1982 and has since grown to offer full cybersecurity suites with tools, including a password manager, safe browser, cloud backups for your most important data and privacy monitoring. US-based users can also access LifeLock plans, which provide identity theft protection and insurance. I tested most of these tools and found them generally intuitive and effective, with the parental controls making Norton especially great for families.
