Gives a good snapshot of what's going on
The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake. While I can go into it and run the scan for the all the information, I must enter each thing individually to see what I need. I can't print or email a report to somebody in a different environment or to any of my clients for the purpose of advising how they must proceed. All I can do is go into and look at it. It would be nice to able to take the report and determine what must be focused on most critically, as opposed to merely being given a tremendous amount of information. This should be addressed. The solution should also do a better job of informing a person of what happened. The son of one of my clients, who has the solution installed in his house, was blocked from playing a certain game. While the solution only informed the person that it was blocked, it did not state what it had blocked. With another client who was in the middle of playing a game in his office, the solution blocked this but provided no telemetry whatsoever. I had to search in an attempt to see what was being blocked. Turning the solution off, however, enabled the game to work perfectly. It was blocking it for some reason, but I had no clue why it was doing so. The solution should be providing reports of everything, not just specific incidents. The solution has many features, but does not inform one of what was actually done, leaving a person in the dark when it comes to things that are not apparent. For specific threats, one need simply login to know what is transpiring. When there was a need to involve support, I would be instructed to download a certain software for gathering information. But, this is not how things should be. Support should be providing the information it possesses of what transpired.

A tool with a great interface that makes deployment and controlling of endpoints easy
I use Webroot Business Endpoint Protection for my company's smaller customers who cannot buy EDRs Webroot Business Endpoint Protection provides a great interface, making deploying and controlling endpoints easy. The most valuable feature of the solution is its web interface for controlling the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."
"The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"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."
 

Cons

"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"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

"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The license is yearly."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"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."
"The pricing is high."
"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."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"It is relatively cheap."
"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."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
