Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"The performance is good."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"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)."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"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."
"Low performance requirements."
"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."
 

Cons

"The local technical support could be better."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the 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."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"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."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"This product is costly."
"The price of this product is good."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"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."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"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."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"The pricing is high."
