Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete was recommended by a software engineer. It has been the most effective antivirus for internet security that I have ever used. My computer looked as if it had been hacked one day, so I shut down the internet and ran a Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete scan. It identified a virus and isolated it. I then contacted my IT group to run a separate scan to verify the virus was isolated and that no other virus was hiding. They confirmed the virus was isolated and had not had time to cause any damage. My IT guys said that they recommend Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete. Downtime for me is a loss of income. Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete is one of the best ROIs when your production time is money. Highly recommend this product!

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
- Local application with cloud configuration helps keep endpoints up to date more rapidly
- Content filtration/web blocking feature set
- Multi-tenancy
- Offered a 'feel good' line item on our contracts
- Opened the conversation for other security conversations and products
- Block known threats by URL or IP quickly across all clients
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.
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.
- The admin interface is nice as it tells you what endpoints have what versions of Webroot installed by showing you a circle graph.
- Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) integrates with our RMM solution, which makes it easier to deploy.
- The simplicity of setting up policies is nice and important.
- It has had a mostly positive impact as we have not had any breaches.
- The only negative impact has been when Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) changed something on their end that caused one of our business applications to not be usable by end-users. That cost our business a fair amount as it took 4 days before it could be used again.
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.
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
- Small footprint
- Easy of management
- Global console to view all devices
- We've had fewer virus infections
- We've been able to make workstations last longer because of the smaller footprint
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.
Yes
We had previously been using AVG CloudCare when Avast them took over. That product was decent, but it was slow and the management console was also very slow. The cost was also a bit high, so we wanted something better and/or cheaper, and Webroot fit that perfectly.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
The biggest factor was management. We needed something that was easy to manage in terms of time spent dealing with the management console itself and dealing with any alerts that it generated.
I'm not sure I'd change anything about the evaluation and selection process. Maybe I would include some other lesser-known products to test, but I'm not sure I would have chosen a product that wasn't already a popular product.
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
- Browsing security
- Scheduled scans and auto quarantine
- Live/Realtime Admin notifications
- Instant notifications allow us to take action immediately
- Policies for groups of machines makes deployment simple and fast
- Browser plugins are very helpful for our users
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.
