Pros

“I was able to document chart notes for patients very securely while outside my work office using Norton Secure VPN; this was what my organization used for VPN option, and I got used to using it.”

Courtney K.

Registered Dietitian

“I like how the Norton Secure VPN was very reliable in maintaining confidential HIPAA information secure, but it is somewhat cumbersome in getting logged in.”

Courtney K.

Registered Dietitian

“It appears to check all the boxes although by no means am I an expert but it works best for myself as it provides best vpn services.”

Khush S.

Intern

Pros

“Connection speeds are solid enough that I do not notice much of a slowdown even when I am running multiple tabs or tools at once.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“What I use it for is mostly side project work and keeping things a little more private when I am handling dealership business on the go, it has done the job well.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“I would just go in knowing you are paying a bit of a premium for that simplicity.”

Daniel S.

Manager

Cons

“Ive installed this software on more than one device on different occasions and it seems to be prone to viruses.”

Sarah L.

Other

“The price is too high and the amount of scammers who use bottom made it hard to know if it was realy a n invoice from Norton or a scammer”

Jennifer R.

Billing dept

“There is a lot of inconsistency in the speeds, the connections or for that matter even the load time which is slow so we need to restart it again.”

Suru S.

BigData Engineer

Cons

“There have also been a few times where a specific server location was slower than expected, so you sometimes have to bounce between a couple servers before finding one that runs smooth.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“While there isn't a free version or trial available, this VPN is slightly pricier compared to others.”

Aleksandra P.

Data and research lead

“The price is honestly the biggest downside.”
