Good customers support and offers good inventory management
It maintains our security posture I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention. It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues. I have experience with this solution.  I have contacted the support team. They are good…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Speed"
"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."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
 

Cons

"One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."
"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
"The deployment process could be clarified, specifically around the ability to push the security application to clients from the central servers, as we faced issues with this."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is below average."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"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."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
