Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 28, 2025

OpenText Core Endpoint Protection and Deep Instinct Prevention Platform are both major players in the cybersecurity industry, competing in the endpoint protection category. Deep Instinct seems to have the upper hand due to its advanced deep learning capabilities and high detection accuracy with low false positives, edging past its competitor in detection efficacy.

Features: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection provides a cloud-based management system that is easy to use and boasts a lightweight architecture, maintaining optimal performance on endpoints. Its integration capabilities and competitive pricing make it attractive for managed service providers. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is known for its innovative deep learning capabilities offering high-level malware detection and prevention, ease of deployment, and an accurate threat detection rate with negligible false positives.

Room for Improvement: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection could benefit from an intuitive setup process and enhanced customization options. There is a user demand for improved threat detection and reporting features, as well as better ransomware protection. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform requires more comprehensive reporting functionalities and improved multi-tenant features. Additionally, there is a call for enhanced Linux support and more traditional security features to decrease reliance on multiple platforms.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection offers flexibility by supporting diverse environments, including on-premises, hybrid, and cloud deployments. However, customers report inconsistent experiences with technical support, particularly noting delayed responses. Deep Instinct is praised for its efficient deployment process but criticized for limited support documentation and needing stronger technical assistance. While both products provide various deployment options, users find challenges in accessing satisfactory technical support.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection is perceived as cost-effective with flexible licensing that appeals to businesses of different sizes. However, ROI results vary according to user feedback. Although some view Deep Instinct Prevention Platform as expensive, its straightforward pricing model is appreciated for its significant value, reflecting in low administrative overhead and positive ROI feedback compared to its advanced features.

Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team

A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the static/dynamic analyses. Deep Instinct's predictive model has very high accuracy and provides threat information for unknown malware, such as malware classification, static analysis information, and sandbox information."

"Deep Instinct’s prevention-first approach to stopping unknown ransomware and malware is the reason why we purchased the product. The pre-execution versus post-execution is a big piece for us where it is able to stop something before it even hits the box or desktop. That was one of the big reasons why we went with Deep Instinct."

"Deep Instinct's detection rate is close to 100 percent."

"I like the dashboard. It looks very simple."

"The most important thing is that it is for prevention. It prevents attacks of any type of malware. Normally, what we've seen in other products is that they are not for prevention. They isolate a possible threat that they don't understand or know about, and then they check it with our database to see if it needs any correction or elimination. This means that the threat is already inside a customer's base, whereas Deep Instinct prevents a threat from getting in. Prevention is basically done by an agent in each installation, PCU, or product. An agent has its own intelligence to be able to detect if it should stop a threat or not. It has been taught. It is like a brain that has been taught to react according to any possible threat. Deep Instinct is very light. It doesn't take too much CPU attention or memory. It doesn't slow down the performance. You don't really realize any change in the performance, which makes it very different from other solutions. They are usually heavy for the users."

"It has a very low false-positive ratio. That is important because it means we're not wasting time... We're able to run that entire 20,000-endpoint base with just a handful of engineers."

"No valuable quote available from the provided review sections."

"Instead of having features like rollback and after-event actionable stuff, the whole premise and the context of the solution is to actually prevent these malicious attacks from happening to begin with.... The ability to prevent threats is the most appealing aspect. It absolutely, 100 percent helps with real-time prevention of unknown malware. That's the strength of the product."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pros

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

"Speed"

"Auto-Remediation"

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"It would be nice if there were options where, if I have to do SIEM integration, I could do so from the UI: Just pick and choose what SIEM solutions the customers use and have options to have out-of-the-box connection facility."

"Due to the nature of deep learning, it’s sometimes difficult to determine why the AI model has blocked a specific file, although this has improved over time."

"I think it's probably the administration, especially the administration platform, which could be improved in the solution. It's clunky and hard to navigate, especially for inexperienced technicians."

"Reporting on incidents needs improvement."

"I am looking forward to them adding Linux in Q1 or Q2 of 2019, as this is often requested by my partners and customers. Currently, Deep Instinct only has Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS."

"Some features are too resource intensive."

"I would love to see a really exceptional, outstanding level of reporting. I know that's like asking for a unicorn to leap out of the sky with any of these products... When everything works, clients began to wonder: "Everything's fine. Why do we need you?" That's where the reporting capabilities would allow us to really demonstrate: "Hey, here's what's actually going on, Mr. Customer.""

"They have a manual, but it is not excessive."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform cons

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"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."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"Reporting system could be improved."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I include the false positive rate and the detection rate in the comparison, Deep Instinct is worth its price."

"There are no additional costs on the price, and our company has a support contract, which bundles in those services anyway."

"We are a nonprofit. The MSP had provides pretty decent nonprofit rates for us. This was one of the key factors that made us choose Deep Instinct over its competitors who were significantly more expensive."

"In comparison to the other products out there, it's exceptionally competitively priced. When you consider the lower administrative overhead that it facilitates, it's an absolute value."

"Its pricing is too high, but that is not because of the product. It is expensive because of the cost of the console. You need a console to control the whole thing, but the console is expensive. You have to split this cost among all possible users. Normally, to be able to make it economically attractive, you need at least 1,000 agents, PCs, or users. If you have a customer with 300 to 500 agents, PCs, or users, it becomes too pricey."

"Pricing and licensing are very straightforward. It's two SKUs, one is for the console and the other is for the client."

"Their pricing is very competitive. It is good, fair, and a lot cheaper than what we were doing with Cylance."

"One thing about their licensing program that I like is that just one covers the server as well as on the endpoint as well as mobile devices. There is no complexity in calculating how many SKUs I need for mobile, for laptop, for desktop, and for servers. It's very simple and that makes it much easier to budget."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pricing and cost advice

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"It is relatively cheap."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
