Bang for your buck security product for small businesses
Webroot DNS protection secures the web traffic of a PC to add a further layer to the defence in depth approach. We found it difficult to sell more expensive products to our cheapest customers, and this was a good solution to that. We sometimes use Webroot's AV solution, which made it a comfortable upsell.
- Easy to install with the AV client
- managed from a web page
- good choice of URL categories for blocking
- No discount for using both the AV and the DNS filtering
- Redirection is pretty slow
- As Webroot is a company that caters to the SMB and customers looking for a cheap solution, the threat protection is not that great compared to some of its competitors
- Managed from the same GUI as the AV client
- Bypass is a bit better designed than some competitors
- Logging is found in the Web GUI and is fairly intuitive
- MSP dashboard is a nice bonus
- Much reduced time spent on malware issues at small business customers
- Slightly increased revenue as this fills a space that didn't used to exist in our stack
- Customers satisfaction went up due to the added ability to block certain content quickly and easily
It's pretty similar when you compare it to the DNS filters of other AV vendors. They're all additional offerings to the core solution of an AV. I would say if you're on Trend Micro and you're thinking of moving to Webroot, it's really a sideways step, but it's certainly a big improvement to have this product over nothing at all. It's pretty cheap, easy to manage, and definitely offers value for money due to the big leap in security this will give your business.
