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

"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"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."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The solution has good performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email."
"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."
"The performance is fine."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
 

Cons

"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The updates must be less frequent."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"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."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool has a yearly licensing."
"On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the most expensive and one is the cheapest, I rate the price as nine."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"The price is fairly acceptable."
"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."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"It is relatively cheap."
"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."
"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."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
