Overall Satisfaction with Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere)

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.

I cannot think of where Webroot is less appropriate. For example, I have it deployed in a company with more than 100 endpoints from Servers, production/line PCs, Office workstations, and mobile laptops. I have it deployed at a different company with 25 endpoints. I also have it deployed personally at home for 10. I also have family and friends with 3 to 5 endpoints. So it really is easy to use, deploy, and manage for everyone in all kinds of environments.
