Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"The failure rate is very low."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"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."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Auto-Remediation"
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"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)."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"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."
 

Cons

"Malware protection for Kaspersky should be revolutionized, where they no longer work with signatures, but with more advanced ways of detecting malware, such as Cylance or Traps from Palo Alto."
"If someone has the older version of the solution, and wants to install a newer version, they must remove all of the previous applications. Otherwise, there will be issues with the solution."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"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."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"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."
"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."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"We have approximately 700 licenses for this solution and we pay annually."
"I don't remember exactly what the licenses cost, but it's not too expensive. It's affordable, especially when you are dealing with on-prem. However, I don't know about the new prices because we are in the process of buying support."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"The solution requires a license and there are different license packages depending on the number of users you need."
"The pricing is high."
"It is relatively cheap."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"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."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
