Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
 

Cons

"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
