Check Point Harmony Endpoint vs. Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere)

Check Point Endpoint Security is well suited for businesses where confidentiality must be maintained in order to mitigate risk and compromise of customer information

Webroot can be great if you have many employees using computers. Sensitive business information can be accessed by malicious threats online if your employees are not trained to avoid these problems. In this case, I think it's important to have software to protect you. If working with a smaller team (and not doing any sort of video production or other intensive software/applications) I can't see a need for anything like Webroot. Learning how to use the internet safely and protecting your file storage are things to be done on the cheap and with smarts.

• Identifies ransomware
• Low resource usage
• Self remediation

• It is very lightweight. You dont even know it is running, yet it is always protecting the endpoint.
• It has protected us from various threats, including ransomware - even when wannacry was hitting companies everywhere.
• They have a good console with multiple provisioning options, so we were able to push it to everyone when we first started using it, and then include it as part of our deployment process going forward.

• Types of devices to control needs to be added like McAfee and GFI Endpoint Security.
• Device whitelisting needs more granular level like by Vendor ID, Serial Number, Device ID etc.
• Device Control and Media Protection on MacOS to be added.

• If there is no network connection to the cloud infrastructure, there will be no protection (drawback if there is no "layer 1" connection).
• Heuristics can only combat some viruses, so it probably needs more methods to combat different viruses.
• There are some instances where the server fails to push out (the server's fault), leaving a small fraction of users unprotected when they are set up for the first time.

It's easy to renew with Webroot, their support is very attentive and highly available. However if you do choose to change products, they even provide means of removing the software from your endpoints via the admin portal which is very convenient.

We have not had to use Webroot support much over the years. The one or two times we did we were referred to online documentation and in a somewhat condescending manner in one case and in another case, the support person did not demonstrate much knowledge of their product and referred us to the user community for support.

Pointsec Policy management is more user friendly and it is excellent solution for Windows machines.

I honestly have not put in enough research and time for alternative products to compare against Webroot. I don't think my opinion would be worth stating since I don't have a good comparison of apples to apples against other products.What continues to keep me interested in Webroot is just not the product - but the technology behind the product that makes Webroot a leading industry standard.

Ease of implementation across various devices is easy and efficient regardless of scale. Whether it is 5 devices or 500 the product continually proves its the best in its class.

• Decreasing vulnerability to attack is the key, it's the game to play and Pointsec plays it very well.
• Key management systems and the various recovery options are very well thought out.
• Full disk encryption vs. file or folder encryption system. With FDE data is encrypted automatically when it's stored on the hard disk making this the best solution.

• It has had a mostly positive impact as we have not had any breaches.
• The only negative impact has been when Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) changed something on their end that caused one of our business applications to not be usable by end-users. That cost our business a fair amount as it took 4 days before it could be used again.
