Webroot Business Endpoint is a winner in all aspects
We implemented Webroot Business Endpoint Protection in 2015 to our end-user residential clients, small businesses, and internal use in our office and test environment. Our expectations of the level of protection were far surpassed and continually keep top spot in our eyes for internet security. The type of protection, the ability to monitor endpoints, and the small footprint are what make it the best. Keep up the good work Webroot...1150 endpoints protected!
- Leaves a small footprint.
- Easy deployment.
- REMOVAL OF ENDPOINT, UNINSTALL, REMOVAL TOOL.
- Customizable Alert notifications.
It is used as our primary endpoint protection for all of the computers we manage for our SLA customers.
- It's easy to deploy.
- It's very quick to install.
- It's easy to uninstall.
- You can make many different configurations to fit different customers.
- You can make global exceptions for common programs that all your customers may use.
- 2FA is absolutely atrocious.
- Bad actors have recently used webroot as a means to execute scripts. It has since been patched, but it didn't leave me with a great feeling.
- On Mac computers, it seems to always throw false positives.

For MSPs, Webroot is the clear choice
We use it to provide protection not only for ourselves, but for all our MSP clients.
- Detecting infections
- Resolving them without user or administrator interaction
- I do not like that the web console has you "deactivate" but not delete. It's cosmetic, but it's annoying.
- There is an ongoing issue where the license key for one organization gets confused with endpoints with another, and it will never rectify itself.

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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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
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!
We use Webroot SecureAnywhere for our entire onsite office and all of our remote users. Installation was simple and it handles our internet security needs wonderfully. The BEST part is that the program is very light on system resources.
- As I said before the program is very light on system resources so more of your machine's power is available to do your work.
- You don't have to waste time downloading new antivirus definitions.
- The control panel could use some improvements as it can be confusing at times

Webroot - Best Anti-Virus for Businesses
It is being used on workstations across our entire organization. It was used more in depth at my previous employer(MSP) and is where I interacted with it the most. We were able to silently install on computers that were missing Webroot which could automatically license and poll to the cloud. This was great in the fact that we didn't have to big the end user, we just had to wait for it to show in the cloud admin console. As an admin you have complete control and can even go as far as to not allow the end user to open and see the Webroot client interface. Since we had an overview of all Webroot clients from the cloud, we were able to proactively see viruses or threats before they caused major harm on the computer. As for the servers you were able to turn off certain features if you felt it would interfere with the performance or programs running on them. There are some helpful tools that you can use if the client is on a workstation. For example you can send a command to reboot the computer with no interaction. It runs mostly on it's own and is my favorite Antivirus to use.
- It is very light weight and does not tax the computers resources
- Has a quick scan and does not take forevere when scanning
- It's central management on the web makes it easy to use and gives tons of control for Admins
- Sometimes when programs are being blocked it can be time consuming to unblock
- There are steps on removing webroot from a computer if it is locked down by policy and removing will take knwoing how.
- Never really have had too many issues with Webroot honestly

Best security system for your network? Maybe.
Webroot is being used by our entire organization. We have deployed it on all of our systems and couldn't be happier. There have been instances that we are 100% aware of where Webroot has saved our company. The ease of use, automatic updates, and agility are its best features.
- Implementation - super easy and seamless.
- Security - constant monitoring and automatic updates.
- Low memory use - the application takes almost no memory running in the background and does not distract from any other activities.
- In my opinion, it's a perfect system. I have no complaints - truly.

Webroot is definitely worth the money for security!!!
It's currently being used across the entire organization. It definitely addresses our need for cybersecurity on many fronts. Between covering us against malware and ransomware; to keep us abreast of hacker attempts using the DNS protection, it's definitely been an asset that our company has been utilizing for the last 4 years.
- The minimal amount of resources used to both install and run the program in the background for our end users is very efficient.
- The amount of time in between when an infection is found on a user's computer and when we in the IT department are notified is very fast and enables us to react to these issues in a very timely fashion.
- Having all of the virus and malware definitions in the cloud proactively checking for not just files but behaviors of how files act is a very cool feature to have as well.
- I don't like how from the admin console, I am not able to scan an individual file on an end user's computer. I can only do either a full system scan or a scan of a user's folder. It would be nice if it could get a little more granular.
Webroot was used to help filter search results and other online activity to promote internet safety and prevent malicious issues from improper online security. Webroot was used on all company computers and monitored by our external IT department.
- Webroot checks all search result links and delivers warnings or approvals to users. This means Webroot is thorough and assists to keep users familiar with any potential problem sites.
- Webroot is easily activated as a Chrome or browser extension to ensure ease of access.
- Webroot monitors activity and will send updates to the IT department to keep them privy of any potential problems.
- Webroot seems a heavy step in the way of keeping Apple computers safe. There are potential security issues when working with Macs, but as always, careful internet use should result in no problems. I do recognize that most people are unfortunately unaware of how to avoid malicious threats online, but careful training can avoid needing many features provided by something like Webroot.
- Webroot extensions on internet browsers would slow down searches on Google and other sites by about 50% or more. It's fairly negligible, as you can learn patience with the software, but it does add time to your work. When you are doing a lot of searching online, I don't think it's outrageous to say Webroot makes things annoying and frustrating. Especially when accessing sites Webroot believes to be harmful when they are totally fine to access.
- The biggest issue with Webroot is its interaction with video editing software. We had a few instances where its backend processes would interact with some of our third-party plugins, resulting in non-functioning applications and other issues. This is a very specific issue, which I realize, but it was a huge detriment to the team.

Webroot, all others are fighting for second place.
We use it exclusively for our clients and our machines. It is very lightweight and not resource intensive. The management console makes it simple to apply sitewide policies or just for specific users. False positives do occur but are rare.
- Does not impact Machine performance.
- Easy administration and deployment.
- Very effective.
- Impacts on some larger clients during initial deployment as far as making custom applications not give false positives.
- Admin Portal could be more intuitive.
- Decommissioning could be a bit simpler.
It is used across the whole company for anti-virus/etc services.
- Not too heavy on system
- Protects well
- Never had a virus or hacking issue
- Easy to implement
- Mobile security needs work, especially with Apple products.

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 - Doing us right for 5 years and counting
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.

Webroot is Your Roadrunner to Other Antiviruses' Coyotes
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 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.
Webroot is being used as the primary antivirus solution across the organization on all user PCs and servers.
- Zero day threat protection
- Very low resource use even when scanning
- Ease to deploy and manage
- No complaints
