Comments and Reviews
Very difficult to manage especially with multiple sites using the webconsole, it supports policy's but policy's are not possible to roll out to multiple sites, not possible to give control to certain settings to the user, takes a lot of work to setup. Webinterface/webconsole is extremely slow and clunky and does not support multiple tabs or browser windows at the same time. Security is abysmal and strange with a mandatory "Security Question" you can use to reset the password and a annoying "Personal Security Code" you have to use as a second factor every time you login, no standards like TOTP, HOTP or security tokens like YubiKey or RSA.
The endpoint protection software itself works pretty good, does not take a lot of resources and is easy to use.
I am using Webroot since a very long time. Switched for weeks to other services and always went back.
Pros
Cons
Webroot SecureAnywhere gives you an edge where it matters, and doesn't replace Windows' built-in mechanisms, just as it should be.
