Tools like computer management utility platforms make it easy to gather information about a computer and tinker. Doing tech support like that and tinkering with computers in an attempt to fix them was how I discovered my passion for technology. While computer management utility platforms like this aren’t widely used in corporate IT (though some of the underlying Windows data is) I find programs like this invaluable for amateur tech support.įortunately or unfortunately, depending on the perspective, I and many others in IT are the de facto tech support for our friends and family. Detailed Review of Norton Utilities Ultimate.What I Don’t Like: No free option when competitors provide similarly performing complete products for free. Combined with its many features, this is a great choice for a computer utility platform. What I Like: Great UI design makes Norton Utilities Ultimate a breeze to use. If you don’t, then I’d recommend going with any of the full-featured free computer management utility platform options available. Overall, I think this is a solid choice for someone who’s decided that they need to optimize their computers and pull many utility tools into one dashboard if you also need support. While I disliked the product for what it was, I think it has the best UI I’ve seen in a program like it. It also benefits from the same Norton User Interface, or UI, design choices that Norton 360 features. In my opinion, while Norton Utilities Ultimate isn’t as full-featured as CCleaner and Glary Utilities, it’s very close. Conversely, Norton Utilities Ultimate can be installed on up to 10 computers for a per-computer cost of around $4, instead of the $15 offered by CCleaner and Glary Utilities. Unlike CCleaner and Glary Utilities, there is no free version.

It’s of the same ilk as CCleaner and Glary Utilities. Norton Utilities Ultimate is a computer cleaner and optimizer.
