Worst company I've come across in 25 years in IT Symantec was never a really customer friendly company however now that Broadcom has bought Symantec they managed to make it even worse. It's so bad I don't even know where to start. It's obvious they have no clue what technical support is. Their KB's just loop you around and really don't have any use. No in depth resolutions for anything. Their support desk is only sales focused and very rude. It's amazing that after working in IT for 25 years there's still a "customer support" that can frustrate me to this level. The worst I've come across ever.

support is awful even before broadcom support is awful even before broadcom. opened a ticket two weeks ago. don't see any traction in ticketing system after 2 days. went on chat, was told since new license period haven't begin, can't dl the new keys. waited two days after license period started, check ticketing system, still no traction. tried calling, but was on hold. gave up. came back today, still no update. called and was told the ticket got transfer & got lost in the shuffle. but did get answer finally.

Excellent customer service… UPDATE on Aug 17, 2018: A few days after letting Norton know about the following review, Ms. Sarah O'Flaherty reached out to me and resolved this matter to my satisfaction so I am upgrading this review to five-star and also changing the review title. Sarah is an asset to Norton and Symantec and as long as people like her are there, customer service isn't yet dead - way to go Sarah and Norton. Original review on August 13, 2018: Unacceptable and bad customer service and experience. I saw an upgrade offer and tried to get it online but couldn't so emailed Norton Customer Service and after they first denying it saying its not available for my billing address, finally agreed to give me that rate. I confirmed correct billing address and credit card details for them and that was a few weeks ago. Since then, no news, only radio silence. After waiting couple weeks, I then sent an email regarding this to their CEO Greg Clark and now it's a week and no news from him, not even a courtesy reply saying they have received my email. Compared to them, all other companies I have dealt with at least have the sense, the courtesy, to acknowledge that they have received my email. I give them ZERO stars.

Symantec Messaging Gateway (version 10.6.4-3) We had a Symantec Messaging Gateway (version 10.6.4-3). Broadcom without any notification, then stop to provide the anti-spam update, we just renew the license for 5 months, still have 7 months to go. When the beginning, I did not know what was happening, then I asked for help, their support told me that our version had already been ended of life as of 12/2019. They ignored me my questions, just told me to install the latest version 10.7.3 (not upgrade, our version had already been told a year ago that our current version cannot be upgraded because of the old CPU). Will stop to renew the service when the license expired, just leave the SMG to be a simple SMTP server or buy a new server with another Secure Email Gateway.

Absolutely disgusting service Absolutely disgusting service, Broadcom have now taken over Symantec and the service is the worst I have ever seen. God help you if you get a virus as THIER IS NO SUPPORT NOW. The telephone number will make you wait for 1 hour and then when I spoke to a rude customer service agent and asked for his manager, he just put the phone downon me. COMPANY HAS LOST THE PLOT! Will have to look for another antivirus company for my 1000 licenses required. A 10-year-old customer LOST!
