"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."

"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."

"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"I have yet to find the benefits of the latest upgraded version."
"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."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"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."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"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."
"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."
