Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere)

Webroot is very well suited for being resource-efficient on Windows machines. It is seamless to the end-users as it runs reliably. Even when we set off a remote scan/clean of a machine, the user never realizes this and is not affected by that procedure. On the other hand, it should not be solely relied on in the ever-increasing threat landscape. Add at least another solution. One solution cannot catch everything, unfortunately.

We have not had to use Webroot support much over the years. The one or two times we did we were referred to online documentation and in a somewhat condescending manner in one case and in another case, the support person did not demonstrate much knowledge of their product and referred us to the user community for support.

For a small to medium sized business this is a great piece of software to have and is easy to understand and use. I cannot speak for scalability to larger businesses. I believe the price point for smaller businesses might be a factor.

Webroot is a great tool for SMBs that are looking for a product that is easy to deploy and maintain. The lightweight agent doesn't contain any bloatware and that makes for quicker scanning capabilities. I would think anyone looking for a stable, easy to use antivirus program should consider Webroot and at least download a trial and try it.

I think the product is well suited for any business of any size and/or type.

Webroot SecureAnywhere is well suited for small and medium networks, where Windows Server is the predominant back office operating system, and Windows is the predominant desktop OS.

I would recommend Webroot for any business that needs to manage endpoints. For small workgroups within single locations, an OS provided AV such as Windows Defender may suffice.

Webroot packs everything you want from an anti-virus package into a ridiculously small & fast package. Use it in a corporate or small business setting with equal results, it the best 'last line of defense' available.

I think it is appropriate for all computers and I can't think of a reason that I wouldn't use it.

The backend management portal is well-suited to larger and geographically dispersed installations. Organizations where specific LoB software dictates older low-powered hardware it works well with (within reason). We've also seen great results with virtual environments.

Webroot can be great if you have many employees using computers. Sensitive business information can be accessed by malicious threats online if your employees are not trained to avoid these problems. In this case, I think it's important to have software to protect you.
If working with a smaller team (and not doing any sort of video production or other intensive software/applications) I can't see a need for anything like Webroot. Learning how to use the internet safely and protecting your file storage are things to be done on the cheap and with smarts.

We find it works for all of our needs.

Webroot is well suited for anybody looking for a strong AV product. In our particular experience - we have had great success in using the product from an MSP standpoint. It functions and allows us to create what we need knowing that we are deploying strong protection to our endpoints. I would say it is more on the technical side of AV products and could see where some people might find it as "overkill". Personally, I would rather be more protected than not in 2018. :)

People with older and slower systems benefit greatly from using Webroot.

People that do home transcriptions with software that is clunky and hard to work with have an easier time setting up any exceptions and special needs to allow Webroot and their special software to behave together.

People that are more highly active on the Internet clicking every link they see and doing a lot of downloading from questionable sites may benefit more from a different protection system.

Being a cloud based endpoint protection, it is great for companies who have a very mobile workforce, and are looking to be able to control their software using a cloud based console, instead of relying on the user to connect to their domain. Companies that are using an endpoint protection solution that may be consuming a large amount of system resources would also benefit from using Webroot since it is so lightweight.

Webroot is not a CPU hog, so it doesn't slow down the performance of our end-users' machines. Updates don't interfere, also, and there is no "walking on eggshells" when it comes to matriculating those updates. There is no need for such gentle handling. The same goes for definition updates also. Even when the risk of infecting a machine when the network is not connected, or when a USB drive is inserted while offline - those incidents are the times we tell our end-users to be careful when they do NOT have an internet connection.

The beauty of Webroot is its simplicity of use while providing great levels of protection. Additionally, Webroot can run concurrently with other security solutions (although we all know this is never advised) but the software really does play well with other solutions making transitions off of other products to this one easy to implement in almost any environment.

The only time Webroot will not fit is when there is a need for control over the endpoint, like updates or applications.

There's nothing actually bad about Webroot and how it handles itself. However, in organizations where computers are frequently recycled and put back into production it can become a chore to maintain an accurate list of active endpoints, and endpoints which have been removed as the web portal cannot track when an endpoint is removed vs. has simply been offline for some time.

It works pretty well with all things. It is a little over reactive to in house software.
