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 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

"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"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."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
 

Cons

"The dashboard can be improved."
"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."
"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."
"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."
"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"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 did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The license is yearly."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"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."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"The pricing is high."
"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."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is probably on the cheaper side, so I would rate their pricing a one or a two out of ten.
