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.

Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies

There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."

"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 main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

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

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"Auto-Remediation"

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."

"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."

"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."

"The independent modules are very good."

"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."

"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."

"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."

"It's a stable solution with good performance."

Cons

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

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"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."

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

"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."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."

"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."

"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."

"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."

"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."

"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."

"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."

"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is high."

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

"The solution is very cost-effective."

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

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

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

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"It is based on an annual subscription."

"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."

"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."

"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Pricing is fair."

"The price of this product is good."

"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."

"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
