The software tends to do a good job of basic protection but is not the best for larger clients and is not as powerful as some others offered on the market today. The support is not the best either, have had a hard time getting assistance in the past trying to resolve issues.

• Identifies ransomware
• Low resource usage
• Self remediation

• It is very light weight and does not tax the computers resources
• Has a quick scan and does not take forevere when scanning
• It's central management on the web makes it easy to use and gives tons of control for Admins

• The prompts for one time logins are rather lengthy and it takes around five minutes to go through all of the authentication required. I believe this could be improved upon.

• There are several configuration options for both end-point and DNS protection. Would like a more simple way to understand and validate settings.
• Support is heavily video or FAQ based although you can submit a Support Ticket. Would like more availability to an actual support engineer.
• Overtime you can forget how to change setting - a refresher course would be nice, especially as new features are added to the solution.

It has proven successful so far in our environment for controlling malware/virus outbreaks.

Like I said before, sometimes I can't find what I need to change a setting.

Support has been reliable up to this point. A request can easily be generated via the console and support responding in a reasonable time. We have not had any major issues other than the basic agents not communicating with the console and the like.

I had some difficulties with remote users. I ended up needing to open a remote tech support session and finish the process. Other than a few speed bumps, I was impressed with the engineering of the install. Because of time differences, I was done installing in two days. The cost, per license, could be less.

I found that Check Point identified more Ransomware attacks than Kaspersky.

We found other products to be able to detect malware and malicious URL's better than Webroot Endpoint Protection. Thus, we moved away from Webroot Endpoint Protection. Also, over the years, there were at least 2 big mistakes by Webroot, where our business applications were flagged as malicious as a false positive. Webroot did a public apology, but those mistakes were highly disruptive.

• It has enabled us to maintain privacy which has enhanced our highly rated brand standard. While basically it is a team member specific, behind the scenes program that protects systems from being used by unauthorized individuals, it contributes to the overall integrity of the organization which results in increased market share and return on investment for shareholders.

• The licenses are pretty expensive but less costly than an actual malware infestation.
• We have tremendous peace of mind knowing that our machines and communications are secure.
• Our IT consultants are a little more involved in day-to-day management than they were before deploying Webroot Endpoint Protection, which means an increase in cost, but again this is a fair price to pay for protection against Internet threats.
