Has consistently delivered double-layer protection and simplified policy application while needing mobile compatibility and better MacOS support
A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems. This requires a hard restart after installation to resolve the issue. Installation on Mac OS can be challenging, requiring multiple attempts due to version compatibility requirements. We must ensure the SonicWall Capture Client version is stable for Mac OS. The RAM usage is higher compared to SentinelOne, utilizing approximately 150 megabytes of memory. This is a common concern from customers, and reducing RAM consumption would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"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."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"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 is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"SonicWall Capture Client provides dual protection through two multi-engines: SonicWall Capture Client sandboxing and SentinelOne agent, with features like content blocking, real-time 24/7 protection without signature updates, and advanced machine learning that eliminates concerns about manual updates, making it more protective and easier to deploy."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."
"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."
"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."
 

Cons

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"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."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"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."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
"The implementation is not easy."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems."
"They should improve their user interface."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The pricing is high."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"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 evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"The product is very expensive."
