    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.

    In situations where business continuity needs are high, ShadowProtect backups provide the ability to keep operations running with very minimal downtime, even in situations like crypto-locked data. If a backup server is set up in an environment to resume a live server from backup, this is even more helpful. In situations where clients don't care as much about quickly recovering their data, they can go without a solution like this.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • 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.

    • The replication offsite can have issues over time. It takes manual involvement to keep it working right.
    • SPX remote management isn't easy out of the box.

    Usability
    OpenText
    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.

    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.

    We don’t need support often, but when we do, the support has been strong. Sometimes it is hard to determine how to access support for the exact issue we are having. There are a decent forum and online ticketing system. Support for the cloud center seems to be provided only by phone, though.

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    OpenText
    • The DNS filtering allows for a very granular configuration of endpoints
    • The cost to benefit ratio is good. It is not a real EDR player yet, but the development looks promising
    • Its best feature is integration with our MSP software, providing actionable tickets.

    • We have been with Shadowprotect for 5 years and are now only moving off of them due to limited functionality and Shadowprotect doubling our billing.
    • The product now requires a lot more babysitting so I have one person just stuck managing backups, which is not a fulfilling job and hard to keep someone in that seat.
    • While Shadowprotect has been fantastic for years, it is time for us to move on to something that makes financial sense and requires less labour.
    • Storagecraft Cloud is fairly expensive compared to competitors.
