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

"No valuable quote available from the provided review sections."

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

"I really like the behavioral analysis feature, because it looks at all the different things, like arbitrary shellcode and reflective DLL. It looks at a lot of things that threat actors use as threat vectors to get into the environment."

"Deep Instinct's detection rate is close to 100 percent."

"It has a very low false-positive ratio. That is important because it means we're not wasting time... We're able to run that entire 20,000-endpoint base with just a handful of engineers."

"When we were looking at Carbon Black and Sophos, the prevention pieces weren't as strong when compared to DI, which is why we decided to go with DI... I would rather have a product that does the prevention up front and saves me the effort of having to wipe someone's workstation."

"Deep Instinct complements the solutions we already have. You don't need to rip and replace any antivirus or endpoint that you have. It's easy to use and it's easy to have it side-by-side with other solutions. That makes it really easy to have an additional level of protection, rather than to hassle with doing solution migration."

"Deep Instinct Prevention Platform stops all malware, including zero-days in 20 milliseconds, and I have never managed to get anything past it, which means I do not have to get out of bed whenever something happens at the client because we know anything bad has been stopped."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pros

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

"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."

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

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"Low performance requirements."

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

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The main area for improvement in Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is Arm support, which is not implemented yet."

"The Management Console is not localized."

"Its support for Linux and Unix operating systems can be improved. Currently, they cover macOS and Windows, but they don't cover Linux and some of the Unix products. Pricing is also an issue. Its pricing is not as aggressive as it could be, and its price makes it difficult to sell. Customers feel that they can get an antivirus for a lower price, even though it is not a similar product. It is technically different. Their SLAs can be better. They have to give you 24/7 support, but their SLAs are not very good. They should be better documented, and the offerings should also be a little bit better. What happens is that the SLAs end up in the hands of the intermediary, seller, or the local partner of Deep Instinct in a country. The customers want very fast SLAs in a very short time, but Deep Instinct doesn't give them at the same speed. Having said that, SLAs are important when you have a lot of issues, but this product doesn't have too many issues, so it is not a big concern. However, for a customer who doesn't know the product, it could be a concern."

"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."

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

"Reporting on incidents needs improvement."

"Due to the nature of deep learning, it’s sometimes difficult to determine why the AI model has blocked a specific file, although this has improved over time."

"If the tool was able to provide fine-tuning capabilities from the product's end depending on the environment of its user, then it would be a good improvement in the solution."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform cons

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

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

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no additional costs on the price, and our company has a support contract, which bundles in those services anyway."

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

"In comparison to the other products out there, it's exceptionally competitively priced. When you consider the lower administrative overhead that it facilitates, it's an absolute value."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

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

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

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

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

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