Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."
"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"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."
"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 feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
 

Cons

"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."
"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."
"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."
"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."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"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."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"It is relatively cheap."
