Customer Reviews of Norton Personal Firewall 2005 - Single User
Poorly documented, extremely unstable, impractical. I'll try and stay fairly objective about this. It will be difficult. I installed this on a brand spanking new Win2K SP4 machine. Here is what I've experienced. <
> <
>1. Poor to no support documentation for this product, either included or on their web site. <
> <
>2. Default security policy is not adequate. I've installed server apps that the wizard interface said were reccomended safe, which I know darned well aren't. ( therefore requiring rule customization for the apps to work correctly) <
> <
>3. Adding even basic firewall rules crashes this product, HARD. <
> <
>4. Does not play well with others, when it does crash, it can 't be shut down or restarted with the task manager, causing a REQUIRED reboot. <
> <
>5. I have crashed IE and had this product crash queitly without any alert, leaving my box exposed on the network. <
> <
>6. No ability to configure perpetual logging. You are limited to 2 megs of their binary log format, so essentially all someone has to do to blast your logs off your box is DOS your for about a minute. <
> <
>(You can take snapshots of the logs, but that still positions you to loose data, particularly in a DOS situation.) <
> <
>7. Firewall rule base is not exportable, which means multiple hosts have to be indevidually configured. This fact alone makes it impractical in a small office environment. <
> <
>8. The interface is badly obfuscated. No less than six clicks just to get to the rule base. <
> <
>9. Their "Check my security" port scanner is bogus. Their port scanner only checks the lower 1024 ports, and depends on some sort of agent (which a good security policy would block anyway) to do the rest of the evaluation. So essentially you get a false "good" evaluation. <
> <
>I'm in the IT business, and I explicitly DO NOT recommend this product to my customers. I will check amazon.com before purchasing anything from these folks again. <
> <
>The only thing this product seems to do well is schill their 900 tech support phone number. But after all the time this product has wasted, I feel like they owe _me_ money.
What a waste of time and money
I don't recomend this product
<
>after installing you need to activate it
<
>this sounds easy enuff but is a hassle, after a few installs
<
>Norton makes you call their tech suport to get activation numbers
<
>and when I called, their server was down or something
<
>so after push this push that wait on hold etc was told would have to call back again,
<
>if you don't activate it then will work for just 15 days,
<
>its a shame to pay for something that you can't use unless you have lots of time to waste
Disaster
After installing Firewall 2005 I could not access the internet. Punching through menu after menu on the tech. assistance line I came up with an option that directly addressed my problem, so I guess I'm not the only one. Two service calls later, trying to struggle through language difficulties with tech. reps. from India, I was sent an e-mail which assured me would cure all my problems. An hour and a half later the problem still wasn't cured.
