(1-23 of 23)Perfect entry level security for endpoints
- Lightweight and low impact on endpoints
- Tiered policies
- Multi-tenant/ MSP friendly portal
- Extended EDR capabilities
Webroot Endpoint Protection Saves Us Time and Effort
- It blocks/prevents users from clicking through on phishing email.
- It protects the integrity and availability of company data.
- It allows end users to feel more secure as they go about their daily business.
- Unless I just haven't found it, I'd like more automated reporting.
- Email reports on a periodic basis summarizing activities during that period would be nice.
- I would also like remote controls/access to endpoint's protection.
Webroot Endpoint Protection is middle of the pack
- It is easy to deploy, which especially since it was integrated with the RMM solution we were using.
- It was easy to manage/administer.
- The administration interface provided a useful pie chart to show the different endpoint agent versions that were being used across the endpoints.
- It was missing detections. We found a better product that detects more malware.
- Deploying the endpoint agents was easy, but deploying Web Threat Shield was not and users could disable that functionality.
- When you deactivated old endpoints, they were put in an "inactive" category. You could not then delete the "inactive" endpoints. For someone who likes to keep things clean, this was annoying.
- I found the rollout of endpoint agent updates to be rather slow.
Great Protection and Low Overhead
- Stays active without consuming heavy resources like memory and CPU.
- Stays updated without intervention and crashes.
- Stops threats before they enter.
- Management console can be slow to load when using from mobile devices.
- Mobile app would help with management.
- Deployment was challenging for some remote workers.
Webroot does exactly what it says it will without costing a ton of money or system resources
- Runs silently in the background
- Installs/updates silently
- Provides detailed information about any threats found
- It is a little resource intensive, and as a non profit, our computer hardware is not top of the line, so it can cause some slowdown during day to day usage
- The backend management UI could use some work.
Webroot works
- Easy install process
- Automatic updates
- Nice web interface
- Uninstall is not easy
- Install on Mac could be easier
- Support is not the best
Webroot - a Good Choice for SMB with Limited Tech Resources and Budget
Webroot protects about 20 user end-points including desktop and laptop computers. We also implementation DNS protection.
Although somewhat of a challenge to get the system configured (required Webroot assistance) we really have not had any issues with the solution over the past few years. Once Webroot was acquired by OpenText the support has dropped down a notch. A little harder to speak with an real person. Tutorial video and submitting tickets is their preferred method of providing support.
- Protects end-point desktop and laptop devices
- Good reporting of protection status and incidents
- Easy to maintain end-point inventory
- There are several configuration options for both end-point and DNS protection. Would like a more simple way to understand and validate settings.
- Support is heavily video or FAQ based although you can submit a Support Ticket. Would like more availability to an actual support engineer.
- Overtime you can forget how to change setting - a refresher course would be nice, especially as new features are added to the solution.
Webroot great product for protection
- Safe Browsing
- Protecting the system
- easy of management
- Reporting
Protection without burden
- Low to no impact on device performance.
- Installs in less than a minute; install can be scripted and pushed out.
- Centralized management console for all endpoints.
- Removal does not always go smoothly and sometimes requires registry changes.
- Billing does not always match up with console endpoints in active status.
- Support is prompt to respond, but resolution is not always as fast.
Protection you can trust!
We chose Webroot because we were having issues with our previous endpoint solution taking up too many system resources and not catching enough of the threats that were known to the industry. Webroot endpoint does not impact system resources and does a very good job of stopping threats and protecting our endpoint computers. We are very pleased with the performance and the level of support Webroot provides our engineers when necessary.
- Light footprint, using low system resources.
- Effective at catching suspicious.
- Excellent customer and reseller support.
- Include perpetual licenses with the subscriptions and show expiration details.
Webroot Endpoint Protection is as easy as 123
- Web filtering
- Blocking malware
- Firewall protection
- Installation and configuration
- Not so easy to add exclusion or exception.
- Not easy to turn off a managed workstation to install software that it thinks is an issue.
- A bit more user friendly.
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection Review
- It deploys in minutes
- There is a small footprint on the device
- Definitions/updates are deployed automatically
- Low overhead and administration is required
- It can take some time for the agents to contact the console.
Full-featured business-class malware protection
- Screens incoming e-mails for threats
- Blocks potentially dangerous websites
- Removes infected files from downloaded materials
- Can't screen for the newest threats on the web
- Sometimes misses threats in documents
- Overly aggressive at times, blocking legitimate websites by mistake
Webroot Sets the Benchmark for Ease of Installation and Management
- Its footprint is very small. We have not seen performance impacts on the machine, and scans are very fast. The only time there have been issues is when testing for needed exclusions. Once everything is configured, you can't notice it's there unless it alerts for a threat.
- The installation is quick and doesn't require a reboot. This is very useful, as we don't need to worry about rebooting machines before protection is active. It also installs within 5 minutes at the most. That is not an exaggeration, and it's usually even faster than that.
- I would like to see an option for automatic cleanup of duplicate Agents. Occasionally, a machine will show up twice and one of the Agents will show as disconnected. I'm not entirely sure if this is from updates or something weird in Windows. We stay on top of cleaning this up on a regular basis, but for instances where the names are similar enough to detect duplicates, it would be nice to automate this and then have a report sent showing what was cleaned up in case there was a mistake.
Root Out Viruses with Webroot Endpoint Protection
- Webroot Endpoint Protection is easy to deploy. Staff just needs to receive a link to run the installation along with an input key.
- Webroot Endpoint Protection provides a very simple method to monitor all computer status via a web sign-in portal. From this portal, the admin can temporarily disable Webroot in case it's preventing certain programs from being installed.
- We experienced problems with getting Webroot Endpoint Protection to be deployed to protect web browsers. Unfortunately, users when opening a web browser will have to for the first time accept the Webroot extension/add-in protection. If staff chooses to not allow the extension/add-in to run, then there would be no web browser protection.
- Webroot Endpoint Protection seems to take a bit of time to uninstall. The documentation shows a possibility of waiting for up to 24 hours. The uninstallation response time should be immediate when this agent operation/command is selected on the web portal.
Webroot Business Endpoint is a winner in all aspects
- Leaves a small footprint.
- Easy deployment.
- REMOVAL OF ENDPOINT, UNINSTALL, REMOVAL TOOL.
- Customizable Alert notifications.
As far as where it is less appropriate; devices that have closed operating system environments such as chrome books, embedded operating systems, and I don't like the cell phone version.
For MSPs, Webroot is the clear choice
- 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 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.
Best security system for your network? Maybe.
- 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!!!
- 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 - Best Anti-Virus for Businesses
- 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

- Ease of deployment
