We leveraged Webroot SecureAnywhere as our baseline AntiVirus product, included in the base cost of support of our contract clients. It offered the minimum expected protection per endpoint for catching known threats and alerting PUPs. The product acted as the bare minimum protection for any endpoints which we were expected to support, and sold as a minor improvement over the built-in AV product.
  • Dashboard/Single-pane-of-glass
  • Many integrations/relationships with other products we use (Managed Service Provider)
  • Additional features in one place such as web filtering
  • Unified dashboard/management (still has some actions tied to their old front-end)
  • Aggressively improve and market EDR
  • Further improve additional features, namely phish and security training
Webroot's main fault is not specific to itself. Rather, traditional AV as a whole is falling out of vogue as Microsoft continues to improve it's built-in/included security features, both at the endpoint and in SaaS products. Third-party vendors like Webroot have an uphill battle to fight in order to stay relevant. Zero-trust is the main buzzword today and likely a bare-minimum addition to the offering in order to maintain relevancy.

We have been using Webroot for approximately 2 years now with very few issues and a few problems caught and resolved before they were a hindrance to our business. It is our primary antivirus, and is very easy to use and intuitive to run.
  • Anti malware, detects and quarantines anti malware using the latest heuristics
  • Anti virus is very light and the web based database keeps the interface clean and light at the end points with a robust back bone to identify threats
  • The live scan and central user interface is a great addition to the software and very integral to identifying issues early on.
  • I have not seen any issues to date
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.

We are currently using Webroot SecureAnywhere for Business across 19 company locations. At the time, we were needing to address the footprint of the installation size, as well as manageability from a central location (preferably without the need to elect a server to install back-end software). For this scenario, Webroot met all demands with the smallest installation package in the industry, as well as cloud-based centralized management. While comparing Webroot with competitors, my findings were better overall detection with less false-positives.
  • Deployment in seconds with small installation file.
  • Fast scanning of computers utilizing minimum resources.
  • Centralized cloud-based management.
  • Fast scanning with great detection.
  • No "push" technology from management to client. Client checks in for policy updates in intervals.
  • Additional offerings such as education and phishing campaigns are far too expensive, and (in our experience) have technical issues.
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 Rocks out Loud!

We use Webroot company wide for both static location users and mobile users.
  • Webroot has an incredibly fast install & scan
  • I average 30 seconds to install & the initial scan averages 2 minutes.
  • Updates are tiny, usually only a few
  • I'm not sure of anything that NEEDS to be improved, maybe make it free!
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.

Webroot is used on every Windows and Mac computer we have it our company. This includes not only employee computers, but also all Windows servers we use. Previous to Webroot we used a basic anti virus scanner which did nothing to prevent malware. We started using Webroot in hopes of reducing helpdesk tickets that were due to malware getting on users computers and it we have had hardly any incidents of malware since then, 5 years ago.
  • It is very lightweight. You dont even know it is running, yet it is always protecting the endpoint.
  • It has protected us from various threats, including ransomware - even when wannacry was hitting companies everywhere.
  • They have a good console with multiple provisioning options, so we were able to push it to everyone when we first started using it, and then include it as part of our deployment process going forward.
  • It would be nice if there was a notification when Webroot blocked something. Power users may need to legitimately edit things like their hosts file, but they dont know Webroot is preventing them from doing so. They could easily temporarily disable it to do what they need to do if they were aware. Same thing goes for files that get quarantined without notice, it leaves the user wondering why their legitimate file keeps disappearing.
  • While the web based console is nice and easy to use, it could use a little better reporting.
  • If an administrator disabled a feature (like the firewall, for example) then the Webroot GUI should not alert the end user about whenever they open it. The software should be aware it is being administratively controlled.
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.

It is used across the whole network. It is pushed out to all users by the domain controller. It is what we use to protect all of our machines and computers.
  • Great protection.
  • Easy to deploy.
  • Easy to manage by all users. If they have a blocked email, each user can log into a portal and find out why, and let it through based on their understanding of the nature of the email.
  • If there is no network connection to the cloud infrastructure, there will be no protection (drawback if there is no "layer 1" connection).
  • Heuristics can only combat some viruses, so it probably needs more methods to combat different viruses.
  • There are some instances where the server fails to push out (the server's fault), leaving a small fraction of users unprotected when they are set up for the first time.
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.

We use Webroot across the entire organization as an antivirus solution and web filtering solution to prevent users from accessing questionable sites and content.
  • Low resource usage
  • Quick implementation of changes and updates
  • Central Monitoring and Reporting
  • Desktop Web Proxy service could use more bandwidth. Despite making exceptions via the Browser Bypass list, sites still load slightly slower than they would if there were no filtering software in place.
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.
