Good Product at Good Pricing, But Not the Best In My Opinion
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
This product provides threat prevention and detection as well as prevents users from navigating to malicious websites. We use this product on all servers and end-user machines.
Pros
- Management interface
- Deployment of solution
- Integration with different RMM solutions, such as Continuum and Ninja
Cons
- I wish that you could delete inactive endpoints when you wanted to. I find myself having to filter out inactive endpoints when searching endpoints.
- I think Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) could improve its malware detection better. Malwarebytes seems to have better detection.
- Over the years, Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) has made a couple of big mistakes, such as changing something on their end that then accidentally caused one of our business applications to be flagged as malware, which prevented our users from using it.
- The user friendliness and install on Macs could be more seamless.
Most Important Features
- The admin interface is nice as it tells you what endpoints have what versions of Webroot installed by showing you a circle graph.
- Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) integrates with our RMM solution, which makes it easier to deploy.
- The simplicity of setting up policies is nice and important.
Return on Investment
- 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.

Webroot- A lightweight footprint that stomps malware
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Webroot Antivirus is very lightweight with very little impact on local resources. the browser plugin is very useful and almost never interrupts browsing unless it deems a site dangerous. Generally, it just warns you in the search results about what rating each site has. This has allowed us a sense of security for our users both in-office and mobile as it is managed from a central online console we can reach from anywhere.
Pros
- Blocks and quarantines known malicious attacks
- Constantly updated definitions
- Central console management and full customization
Cons
- Reseller renewals are easy, renewals purchased yourself are not seamless
- Upgrading certain hardware on a machine often duplicates the machine in the console
- Having multiple companies can be confusing if all were not set up through the same reseller
Most Important Features
- Browsing security
- Scheduled scans and auto quarantine
- Live/Realtime Admin notifications
Return on Investment
- Instant notifications allow us to take action immediately
- Policies for groups of machines makes deployment simple and fast
- Browser plugins are very helpful for our users

Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete, Highly Recommended by Remote Worker
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete was recommended by a software engineer. It has been the most effective antivirus for internet security that I have ever used. My computer looked as if it had been hacked one day, so I shut down the internet and ran a Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete scan. It identified a virus and isolated it. I then contacted my IT group to run a separate scan to verify the virus was isolated and that no other virus was hiding. They confirmed the virus was isolated and had not had time to cause any damage. My IT guys said that they recommend Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete. Downtime for me is a loss of income. Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete is one of the best ROIs when your production time is money. Highly recommend this product!
Pros
- Frontline protection against viruses.
- Scheduled scans.
- Ability to scan at my discretion as well as scheduled scans.
- Informative reports.
Cons

Bleak future for traditional AntiVirus products

- Many integrations/relationships with other products we use (Managed Service Provider)
- Additional features in one place such as web filtering
Cons
- Unified dashboard/management (still has some actions tied to their old front-end)
- Aggressively improve and market EDR
- Further improve additional features, namely phish and security training
Most Important Features
- Local application with cloud configuration helps keep endpoints up to date more rapidly
- Content filtration/web blocking feature set
- Multi-tenancy
Return on Investment
- Offered a 'feel good' line item on our contracts
