The top-of-the-line package is Avast Ultimate<\/strong>, which as the company refers to it, is one-suite-covers-all. If you need something to protect all your devices in a single convenient suite, this is what you need. Costing $119.99\/year, this suite offers advanced features like a SecureLine VPN, top cleanup tools, and 100 percent malware protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVerdict:<\/strong> Even though Avast offers a free plan, Norton offers more value for money. The plans offered by Avast aren\u2019t as feature-packed as the ones offered by Norton and that\u2019s enough to give Norton the win here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. Customer Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDuring your journey through the world of antivirus, you may encounter rough patches sometimes. When that happens, to whom do you run? Clearly, to your antivirus provider. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to check the quality of support offered by the company whose product you are looking to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norton<\/strong> offers probably the best support in the business. There are many support channels, which alone is incredible. Some of the support channels include online forums, 24\/7 live chat, and 24\/7 phone support, not to mention that you can also get in touch with the developers via Twitter. However, it\u2019s worth noting that they aren\u2019t particularly active on Twitter, but they will still respond to your messages \u2013 it may just take some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you prefer over-the-phone support, you only need to wait for about three minutes, which is short. But if you don\u2019t feel like using all of the above support channels, you can consult the company\u2019s knowledgebase, which is replete with helpful articles that contain solutions to your problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avast<\/strong> only provides support through online forums and automated online forms. The categories ask for a description of the user\u2019s problem, after which the user is led to a click-through questionnaire, with the hope that they will find a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhile Avast offers remote phone support, only the Premium version customers get to enjoy this. Besides, finding the phone number on their website is not easy. If you only want to make inquiries about their products, you can call this number for free. Subscribing to their phone support costs about $79.99 to $199.99\/yearly, which we believe is too expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verdict:<\/strong> Norton wins this category by a massive distance, thanks to the huge gap in its quality of support compared to its rival\u2019s. Apart from not offering enough support channels, Avast also charges its customers for phone support, which is absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nChoosing between Norton and Avast is always a complicated affair as both solutions have been two of the biggest players in the game for many years. In this guide, we have compared them, using facts you will find hard to ignore. Out of the six categories we used for comparison, Norton won three, Avast won one, with two ending in a draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, Norton is the better choice as it doesn\u2019t only offer reliable malware protection, but also offers more value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
