Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 28, 2025

OpenText Core Endpoint Protection and Deep Instinct Prevention Platform are both major players in the cybersecurity industry, competing in the endpoint protection category. Deep Instinct seems to have the upper hand due to its advanced deep learning capabilities and high detection accuracy with low false positives, edging past its competitor in detection efficacy.

Features: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection provides a cloud-based management system that is easy to use and boasts a lightweight architecture, maintaining optimal performance on endpoints. Its integration capabilities and competitive pricing make it attractive for managed service providers. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is known for its innovative deep learning capabilities offering high-level malware detection and prevention, ease of deployment, and an accurate threat detection rate with negligible false positives.

Room for Improvement: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection could benefit from an intuitive setup process and enhanced customization options. There is a user demand for improved threat detection and reporting features, as well as better ransomware protection. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform requires more comprehensive reporting functionalities and improved multi-tenant features. Additionally, there is a call for enhanced Linux support and more traditional security features to decrease reliance on multiple platforms.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection offers flexibility by supporting diverse environments, including on-premises, hybrid, and cloud deployments. However, customers report inconsistent experiences with technical support, particularly noting delayed responses. Deep Instinct is praised for its efficient deployment process but criticized for limited support documentation and needing stronger technical assistance. While both products provide various deployment options, users find challenges in accessing satisfactory technical support.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection is perceived as cost-effective with flexible licensing that appeals to businesses of different sizes. However, ROI results vary according to user feedback. Although some view Deep Instinct Prevention Platform as expensive, its straightforward pricing model is appreciated for its significant value, reflecting in low administrative overhead and positive ROI feedback compared to its advanced features.

Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team

A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has given us a more structured approach for detecting and preventing threats. It has machine learning-based detection and prevention. Their engines, in even older versions, are able to pick these viruses and malware. They have posted a lot of use cases online for detecting different viruses and malware that have been out for many years."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to detect and eradicate ransomware using non-signature-based methods."

"Its false positives are very low, because the behavior analysis engine double checks them."

"It has the lowest false-positive ratio that I have come across. I have only had one which was a legitimate file that I had to whitelist. It was for one of the applications I was trying to install and integrate. But the false positive ratio is very low."

"Deep Instinct’s prevention-first approach to stopping unknown ransomware and malware is the reason why we purchased the product. The pre-execution versus post-execution is a big piece for us where it is able to stop something before it even hits the box or desktop. That was one of the big reasons why we went with Deep Instinct."

"The product offers integration capabilities and is also easy to use."

"The most valuable features are the static/dynamic analyses. Deep Instinct's predictive model has very high accuracy and provides threat information for unknown malware, such as malware classification, static analysis information, and sandbox information."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pros

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"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."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

Cons

"It would be nice if there were options where, if I have to do SIEM integration, I could do so from the UI: Just pick and choose what SIEM solutions the customers use and have options to have out-of-the-box connection facility."

"I would like to see improvement in the user interface so that the user has more control. For example, it would be good if a user could change their grouping if they want to be part of another group. Or if I want to right-click and scan a specific file that I just imported, that would be helpful. Sometimes you just want to do an extra scan to make sure you're safe."

"The Management Console is not localized."

"I would like a little more training for the admins."

"If the client is working remotely and doesn't have a VPN then the deployment is difficult to do."

"The interface on the endpoint could be a little more descriptive and more valuable. It doesn't always tell you the data you need to see. Improvement there would be very helpful."

"Reporting on incidents needs improvement."

"They have a manual, but it is not excessive."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform cons

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I include the false positive rate and the detection rate in the comparison, Deep Instinct is worth its price."

"Its pricing is too high, but that is not because of the product. It is expensive because of the cost of the console. You need a console to control the whole thing, but the console is expensive. You have to split this cost among all possible users. Normally, to be able to make it economically attractive, you need at least 1,000 agents, PCs, or users. If you have a customer with 300 to 500 agents, PCs, or users, it becomes too pricey."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive but we are satisfied with DI's performance."

"Their pricing is very competitive. It is good, fair, and a lot cheaper than what we were doing with Cylance."

"Pricing and licensing are very straightforward. It's two SKUs, one is for the console and the other is for the client."

"There is a need for customers of the product to pay towards the licensing costs of the tool."

"We are a nonprofit. The MSP had provides pretty decent nonprofit rates for us. This was one of the key factors that made us choose Deep Instinct over its competitors who were significantly more expensive."

"One thing about their licensing program that I like is that just one covers the server as well as on the endpoint as well as mobile devices. There is no complexity in calculating how many SKUs I need for mobile, for laptop, for desktop, and for servers. It's very simple and that makes it much easier to budget."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pricing and cost advice

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"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."

"The pricing is high."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
