I’d say it’s one of the most feature-rich options for those looking for a little extra. Its Dark Web Monitoring, which scans the dark web for any compromised data of yours, is also a great alternative to full identity protection software, which Norton also sells, but separately!įirst, I have to say: Yes, Norton is a little clunkier at first and costs a bit more later, but you get what you pay for feature-wise. This was an amazing way for me to forgo the Dropboxes of the world and reorient my secure file storage in Norton’s super-safe ecosystem. Remote Cloud Storage is a game-changer, offering up to 50GB of encrypted, remote cloud storage in their Deluxe plan. All are helpful and valuable additional features, but in my experience, Norton differences? 🔒įor largely the same plan and price, you’re getting exclusive Dark Web Monitoring, and Cloud Storage features with Norton versus Vulnerability Assessment and File Shredder from Bitdefender. Bitdefender is noticeably lighter on its toes, both during bootup and scanning. Bitdefender performance: 🖥️īitdefender’s app boots up 2.5 times faster than Norton on average.Ģ.5 times! Maybe not be that dramatic of a difference if you have a new machine, but for anyone with older hardware prone to slowdowns when multiple apps are open, there’s a chance Norton could slow your machine down while in use. This is useful for more advanced users or those who want to check a specific virus without doing a full scan.
Comparing them, Norton has fewer scanning options on the surface but does allow more customization, meaning you can scan for specific types of threats. and ultimately produce fewer false positives than Norton.Īgain, looking at my virus scan results, both do an excellent job. Bitdefender, however, has a slight edge by incorporating machine learning into their detection, meaning they have a greater chance of catching zero-day threats. Norton and Bitdefender rely on extensive threat databases to identify malware, producing excellent results. Now, starting at the top with malware protection: first off, as a customer, you are going to get amazing protection with either. Why do you ask?īecause they both claim to offer the same level of protection and supplemental features, by and large, they’re almost identical packages…or so I thought… I’ll compare the Norton 360 Deluxe plan, their second most expensive, to Bitdefender’s most expensive Total Security plan.
