Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere)

As previously mentioned, Webroot is struggling to compete. Specifically, it is struggling to show value when similar products are catching more and offer more complete packages for remediation as well. We have discontinued the use of Webroot in favor of offering more advanced protection tools by default to our contracted clients.

Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) was cheaper. That was the main reason. Webroot also integrated with our RMM solution, which was a plus. Malwarebytes did not integrate with our RMM solution.

Webroot SecureAnywhere is so much easier to use than the other products we've used or tested. The small footprint of Webroot makes up for any enhanced features that a competitor might have. We chose Webroot SecureAnywhere because of the competitive cost, ease of management, and increase in the speed of the machine being protected.

Both of the aforementioned products were heavy on the learning curve as far as configuration and deployment. Both had a rather nonintuitive interface to centrally manage your protected devices. They both did a good job, but with unnecessary effort to achieve the same result as Webroot delivers with a simplified solution.

We used Vipre before and it is a very heavy user interface had lots of malware and such that it was not catching. We switched to Webroot and have had no issues at all with virus or malware attacks getting through without detection.

When first introduced to Webroot Anywhere four years ago, the consulting firm we were using recommended it with very high marks. At that time we went with their first choice and I am so glad that we did. I brought it into my new organization. I am a convert and I haven't looked back.

I believe Webroot is a much better product than Symantec Endpoint Protection and Trend Micro Endpoint Security. I believe it does a much better job of preventing security threats, has a better price point and ROI while being easier to administer. Overall, I believe Webroot is the best endpoint product on the market today.

Webroot SecureAnywhere is superior to Symantec, Kaspersky, McAfee, AVG, and others, in our experience. It's more reliable, has less negative performance impact, and is easier to administer.

Webroot was the easiest to deploy, remove, and manage compared to all other products tested.

Webroot has an incredibly fast install & scan. I'm impressed with the cloud management console and cloud based updates. Managing users is fairly simple as is keeping up with license usage. Also, your mobile workers will get updates quickly, unlike some other anti-virus suites I have used.

I like Webroot much better it's fast, resource light and reliable.

Excels in its job and surpasses [for us and our clients] all other competitors.

It works best of all of these for us. The others all interfered with our other computer programs updates.

I honestly have not put in enough research and time for alternative products to compare against Webroot. I don't think my opinion would be worth stating since I don't have a good comparison of apples to apples against other products.What continues to keep me interested in Webroot is just not the product - but the technology behind the product that makes Webroot a leading industry standard.

I am not a McAfee lover and have not been for a long while. I have on occasion had to support computers with it. In fact a business we provide support for now uses it. There are more incidents of malware infection and more complaints of computer performance for those using different McAffee protection products than those using Webroot. I would recommend Webroot.

While we consider alternatives from time to time when putting together our budget, we haven't felt the need to thoroughly test a competitor since webroot has been working well for us and we are comfortable with the pricing.

Symantec.cloud, Sophos, McAfee (which was terrible, and we had to replace McAfee with Symantec.cloud at another company). However, the difference between Symantec.cloud and Webroot is primarily with notifications and installations of definition updates. There was a lot more intervention with Symantec, especially when it came to uninstalling Symantec clients - which was a hell in and of itself. I've also used Trend Micro, MalwareBytes and other AV tools over the years. You just don't notice Webroot when it is running and doing its job.

I have evaluated numerous other security products including Norton, McAfee, Kapersky, and Panda. Nothing comes close to Webroot in terms of system performance impact. It is almost like nothing is even installed - it is that low-resource intensive. Same thing with scanning times. Webroot identifies threats quickly and accurately with quick cleanup as well. Lastly, software and virus definition updates happen reguarly with little system performance impact.

As an Antivirus solution it is the best I have used. No issues with admin console communication, ease of deployment and super quick scans.

I have not had the opportunity to try out other AV or web filtering products in my production environment, however through personal use of numerous other AV products over the years I can attest that Webroot is a product that will bug you the least in terms of notifications, pop-ups, etc.
The Web Filtering Software (DWP) does a solid job of allowing us to easily manage which sites our users are allowed to access, and even provides the ability to coach users on their use of non-work related sites such as Facebook.

We had it before. Trend-Micro's scanning appliance for the VM-ware environment may be a better alternative for VM's
