A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Integrates well with our existing SIEM tool and helps in identifying suspicious activities
The solution's integration with our existing security infrastructure is good. Whenever we have any alert in VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, we can easily that alert in our SIEM tool and check logs from the SIEM tool itself. VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is just a secondary security tool for us, and we are just monitoring the alerts from it. The solution's behavioral analytics feature helps in identifying suspicious activities pretty well. Whenever we have even a small thing, we get an alert. The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Performance-wise, the solution is doing great in terms of connecting to the host directly. Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours. A malware scan is something that we do only on Carbon Black for the old endpoint devices and servers. It used to take sometimes three days to perform. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Speed"
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"The offline networking is the most important feature. Some of our users are engineers that work offsite, and they can still be on the solution, which is also great."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"​Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks.​"
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy."
 

Cons

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
"At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Work on a price tier plan."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Price-wise, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly-priced solution. Regarding the licensing cost of the solution, one needs to opt for an annual subscription."
"Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
