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.

Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies

There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security 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

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"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 main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."

"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."

"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."

"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."

"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."

"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."

"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."

"The product has a robust reporting feature"

Cons

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"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."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."

"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."

"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."

"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."

"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."

"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."

"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."

"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"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."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"It is relatively cheap."

"The pricing is high."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."

"Pricing is fair."

"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."

"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."

"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."

"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."

"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
