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.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Low performance requirements."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The independent modules are very good."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The compatibility with a variety of laptops is our biggest advantage."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"This product is costly."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
