Bleak future for traditional AntiVirus products
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
This product provides threat prevention and detection as well as prevents users from navigating to malicious websites. We use this product on all servers and end-user machines.
- Management interface
- Deployment of solution
- Integration with different RMM solutions, such as Continuum and Ninja
- I wish that you could delete inactive endpoints when you wanted to. I find myself having to filter out inactive endpoints when searching endpoints.
- I think Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) could improve its malware detection better. Malwarebytes seems to have better detection.
- Over the years, Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) has made a couple of big mistakes, such as changing something on their end that then accidentally caused one of our business applications to be flagged as malware, which prevented our users from using it.
- The user friendliness and install on Macs could be more seamless.
We install Webroot SecureAnywhere on all devices, such as servers and workstations. Webroot SecureAnywhere helps products the devices from viruses and malicious activity.
- It has a very small footprint
- It scans fairly quickly
- It's very unobtrusive
- Alerting from the console is lacking some useful options
Webroot Antivirus is very lightweight with very little impact on local resources. the browser plugin is very useful and almost never interrupts browsing unless it deems a site dangerous. Generally, it just warns you in the search results about what rating each site has. This has allowed us a sense of security for our users both in-office and mobile as it is managed from a central online console we can reach from anywhere.
- Blocks and quarantines known malicious attacks
- Constantly updated definitions
- Central console management and full customization
- Reseller renewals are easy, renewals purchased yourself are not seamless
- Upgrading certain hardware on a machine often duplicates the machine in the console
- Having multiple companies can be confusing if all were not set up through the same reseller

It's easy for your antivirus to be agile if it is lightweight!
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is used across our entire organization. We use it on a mix of PCs, Servers, and Macs. It is one of the security tools we use in our organization. It protects our machines from viruses and malware. It has proven reliable, easy to install and administer and does not consume as much memory as other products.
- Admin console.
- Lightweight client.
- Deployment.
- Monitoring statuses.
- Conducting remote scans/cleaning.
- Has a tendency to randomly duplicate machine names.
- Once added, machines cannot be deleted, even if they are deactivated and never had a virus incident.
- Policy management could be improved, it's not intuitive enough how to create/edit them.

Webroot Review
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
Used throughout the entire organization as one of our one and only antivirus package, Webroot is a lightweight, and easy to install throughout your organization. A single pane of glass allows IT to quickly see any issues that may arise and complete remediation steps within moments. After initial installation, it automatically runs your first scan and you are up and running in minutes.
- Fast deployment, lightweight and is always up-to-date with virus definitions deploying in the background.
- Online management portal allows the administrator to manage the console from anywhere there is a web connection.
- Handy browser plugin alerting the end user if a site is trustworthy.
- The new administrator portal is a bit cumbersome and takes some getting used to.

Webroot is a great product
Webroot SecureAnywhere is being used throughout my organization and with client's, as I manage their security at this time. It addresses the problem of network and machine security.
- Price point is great for businesses of all sizes
- Administration interface for deploying and managing clients is easy to use
- Does a great job of detecting threats and stopping security issues
- Reporting features of the application and portal could be better
- Bettering tiering of the pricing structure as it could be better for partners and clients

Webroot SecureAnywhere: yes, it is, both!
We use Webroot SecureAnywhere as a security solution for our Managed Service customers. It addresses the need for antivirus, anti-malware, and other threat prevention, such as protection against ransomware, encryption viruses, rootkits, Trojans, worms, bots, email and macro infections, and more.
- Centralized management makes it easy to administer multiple customer systems from one location.
- The dependable protection can be relied upon to catch and stop most threats.
- Minimal resource impact means protected endpoints continue to enjoy their full performance capability.
- Installation challenges compelled us to compile our own deployment scripting system.

Webroot - Small but mighty!
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.

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!
In addition to using Webroot SecureAnywhere in our organization, it is a linchpin of our SECURUS© Network Security offering. We recommend all clients use this product as their endpoint "first line of defense". We have found it to be extremely flexible, usable across many platforms, and has very few negative interactions with other OS and application software installs.
- Very comprehensive model for catching new and previously uncategorized malware and for a low "false positive" count.
- Extremely lightweight agent allows us to place this product on many more machines than other antivirus/antimalware softwares.
- Backend management of all agent functions and installs keeps the oversight of security issues with us or the in-house IT department, where it belongs.
- Better reporting on rejected malware attempts. Currently, the only reporting is for items that actually made it past the initial screening by Webroot SecureAnywhere.

Honest - IT oriented review
We use Webroot as part of a two-piece branded product that we call 'Security Packages'. Webroot is the AV portion of our security packages that get deployed to all of our endpoints that are using our core managed services. We also use Webroot internally for our organization as AV protection. Webroot helps us address the ever-growing threat landscape with our clients to ensure they are protected.
- Webroot provides a very easy to use web interface with GSM. From a single dashboard we can control all of our endpoints that are currently using Webroot services. This is extremely helpful for central management for my engineers.
- Webroot's new (2.0) plugin for Automate (formerly LabTech) provides us with integration into our RMM platform that allows for a large majority of the daily operational tasks to be completed without ever having to move to a different application and/or the web dashboard. The integration is key for engineers to make changes on the fly and quickly. They have done a good job with the 2.0 plugin after coming from the 1st iteration.
- Webroot interface on the machines is a simple and easy UI to follow and understand. Seeing what the product is doing and how it is configured is very straightforward and doesn't require much hunting with the local interface on machines.
- Webroot could do a better job of working on their integration partnerships with companies like LabTech (now known as Automate). Many times we make it through 2 or 3 levels of support before one of the parties says "oh well you need to talk to LabTech about this" or vice versa. That can be frustrating for partners when trying to understand and resolve issues between the two applications.
- Cryptolocker/ransomware is a hot topic and I will say that Webroot has provided us with adequate protection when we first started using in 2014. I understand the complexities and challenges AV companies face with new threats being created everyday. I do want to point out that there have been instances where Webroot has not been able to stop one of those types of attacks. After talking with support - it was clear that they had no good answer as to why that particular threat was not stopped and quarantined.
- Support for the enterprise side of Webroot can be daunting at times. Response times are hit or miss depending on the severity of the issue. Sometimes you get a great support engineer who will go above and beyond - sometimes I ask myself how this person is even employed with the lack of communication skills or actual interest in helping resolve partner issues.

Webroot pulls all the virus roots out!
We utilize Webroot on both employee and my own personal equipment. It addresses all of the things I am looking for in a security product in terms of reliability, ease of use, and low impact on system performance while maintaining a very active role in providing live security feedback. The antivirus picks up threats actively and has minimal false identifications. The website monitoring is a great tool that helps protect our non-technological users from unknown threats and the updates to the software have little bandwidth impact.
- My number one reason I enjoy using Webroot is that it is the least resource intensive security solution I have used on the market while providing the most accurate protection against current threats.
- Website monitoring provides great protection to users who are unsure of what are "safe" websites allowing our I.T. team to worry less about possible infections on our systems.
- Webroot updates itself in the background with very little impact on system performance and its fast scans allow us to identify threats quickly with minimal impact on downtime.
- Scheduling scans is somewhat counter-intuitive as the user interface could be a little more detailed so you can really fine-tune the settings.
