Like Facebook and Google, it is hard to name a security company - at least for consumer protection - that has the instant name recognition of Norton and LifeLock. And, many of the monitoring and tracking features of other apps are available in the more basic paid plans, but are only offered with the LifeLock upper tier plans. The IDShield app also offers consultations with crime prevention experts and social media monitoring that some of the identity theft protection apps don’t offer. However, IDShield offers some other features that LifeLock does not include. LifeLock also offers TransUnion Credit Lock, and PayDay Loan Lock at the Advantage plan, and higher tier. LifeLock includes the credit bureau monitoring of those apps, features related to crimes reported in your name, and (at the highest LifeLock plan) 401K protection. That said, many of the features match up with IDShield and IdentityForce, to name just two options. Care and attention went into the interface, which makes you trust that there is a well-established company protecting your personal information. Many of the features available in LifeLock match up with the standard offerings of apps like IdentityForce and IDShield, but they are presented in a familiar interface and with a professional gloss that is hard to ignore.
Norton LifeLock is a full-featured identity theft protection service (Image credit: Norton LifeLock) Features It’s too bad that not many identity theft protection apps include a VPN with the service, and some offer it only as an add-on with a monthly fee, or not at all.
By including Norton Secure VPN at the Select plan level, you can be more confident about typing in all of your credit cards and bank info. Realize also that you really should use a VPN when you are using any identity theft protection app. You can drill down to another area to see your personally identifiable information.
In the privacy section, for example, you can quickly scan through the options and enable features for protecting credit cards and your phone. The LifeLock dashboard presents all of the features and options in a clear and appealing way, but that ubiquitous yellow color is always there reminding you that this is a serious topic. Norton shows its experience with its familiar yellow interface, which I’m sure they have copyrighted somehow, and it forms the initial impression with a color that denotes warning and caution, as though you are in a construction zone or crossing police tape. If you've used Norton Antivirus before, you'll be right at home with Norton LifeLock's user interface (Image credit: Norton LifeLock) Interface
