Webroot Endpoint Protection vs. WebTitan DNS Filter

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.

It is well suited for any org with the need to control the web access of their users. It has succeeded in all of our deployment scenarios such as in a school, or many non profit organizations. We do not have a need for it on our own machines.

• 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

• Activity monitoring.
• In terms of cost it is affordable.
• Direct synchronization with Boundless Automation, this integration helps improve the management of networks at scale to increase efficiency, speed up operations and more.
• It can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection.
• It is intuitive and easy to use.

• 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.

• A mobile roaming client would be good
• Reports for clients are sometimes fairly basic, some users prefer more in depth reports

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.

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.

Cost and umbrella had an issue with us as we had a hard time trying to make it work and never did figure out why it would not work. The reporting was lacking from what we could tell but again we could not get the trial working. So it was more cursory

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.

Incentivized

• WebTitan DNS Filter helps keep our employees focused on the job at hand.
• The cloud service eliminates having to trade in/up obsolete hardware every 3-5 years.
• Initial setup and configuration is straight forward and not terribly complicated.
