A tool that offers good UI and documentation

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

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."

"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 ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"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."

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

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

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"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."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"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."

Cons

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"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 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."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

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

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"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."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"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 biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"They should improve their user interface."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

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

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

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

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"The product is very expensive."

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"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."
