Webroot is the root of our web defense.
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Webroot across the entire organization as an antivirus solution and web filtering solution to prevent users from accessing questionable sites and content.
Pros
- Low resource usage
- Quick implementation of changes and updates
- Central Monitoring and Reporting
Cons
- Desktop Web Proxy service could use more bandwidth. Despite making exceptions via the Browser Bypass list, sites still load slightly slower than they would if there were no filtering software in place.
Likelihood to Recommend
There's nothing actually bad about Webroot and how it handles itself. However, in organizations where computers are frequently recycled and put back into production it can become a chore to maintain an accurate list of active endpoints, and endpoints which have been removed as the web portal cannot track when an endpoint is removed vs. has simply been offline for some time.
