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

"The performance is fine."
"The solution has good performance."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
 

Cons

"The updates must be less frequent."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"The tool's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fairly acceptable."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"The tool has a yearly licensing."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"During procurement, we discovered that acquiring licenses in packages or bundles, such as the one for 20 users, was more cost-effective than individual licenses."
"On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the most expensive and one is the cheapest, I rate the price as nine."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"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."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"It is relatively cheap."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
