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.

• 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.

Webroot Endpoint Protection has been great for us, as its simple, cloud-based management console allows us to quickly deploy easily monitor all of our endpoints. However, it could improve by offering more customizable reporting options for deeper insights into security events and the interface could also use some updating, as it feels a bit dated.

Incentivized

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.

The netskope next gen swg win the evaluation process in the follow features: - Better Deploy process - Don't depend of a VPN connection - Native SSL Decryption - WebUI of easy and quickly understanding - Device compliance evaluation - Flexible Scenarios of Deployment - A private network what connect more efficiently to the most used SaaS Services

Webroot is good in a way that it is an all encompassing solution one stop shop for protecting endpoints but it needs to be managed and licensed. Some users do not need constant protection or need to have it on their machines in where the combination of Field Effect and Malwarebytes is more effective.

Incentivized

• Complete Control of Web access regardless the location of user
• Deep Application control ( Eg. Allow access just the company tenant of a SaaS App)
• No Restrictions about the device type ( Eg. Windows, MAC and mobiles)

Incentivized

• 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.
