Not many capabilities to customize the password manager. --- ### Next level DNS protection - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bart H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Drew Webroot Community Team Replied March 2018 --- ### My experiences with using Webroot on my devices - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Steve M. - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Webroot protects me from malicious apps as it blocks them before they can infect any of my devices. It makes sure that the websites you are browsing and downloads are secure. I forgot to say that is has a lost device feature that helps you find a device that has been lost or stolen. Its probably nit the best anti virus out there but I like it and it is easy to use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This software allows you to use it up to 4 or 5 different devices under one membership I have it installed on my Desktop, cell, tablet, and Lab top. No matter which device it is on I dont ever have a problem with it slowing up any device or causing it to hesitate when the program is running in back ground or scanning for viruses. I love this software and it is very user friendly it does what it is supposed to, and protects all my devices in my opinion. #### Cons It is a cloud based network so connection problems could affect its performance. I dont have that problem to often but I have noticed it once or twice. What would really make it better is if they had live support and help instead of just email and telephone support, it would be more convenient , and when I have any questions or issues they would be taken care of alot quicker and easier. #### Vendor response That's great to hear! We are always thrilled to hear how much our customers like Webroot! Replied April 2018 --- ### I would recommend Webroot to everyone - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: rahshee w. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Webroot is a good anti virus and you could use it on all your devices #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Honestly, I dont have alot of experience with other anti viruses but I feel this one does deserve a good review. I have been using it for almost a year now and I have hardly noticed in running on my PC because I have not had any issues with it causing my PC to run sluggish or slow up so far. I also have not had no viruses detected since I been using it so i truly believe it does what an antivirus is supposed to do. I found out that when I bought my license I could also use the same membership on up to 5 different devices so I put it on my brothers PC and our cell phones as well. so basically I feel confident that our devices are covered by a well made virus program. When you do a scan and it does find a file you can look at the details and than decide what you want the program to do with it. #### Cons I really dont think I have any cons to say about this program. It could have more features installed that would automatically optimize, defrag and clear duplicate files on your PC when it is running a scan. If you do a deep scan instead of a quick scan it takes way longer for it to finish. --- ### Easy to use. No need to keep installing updates, it will automatically update. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sally W. - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I was a huge Norton fan until I purchased a new computer from Best Buy. They recommended this program and included a free trial. I was highly skeptical, but they convinced me to give it a try. I love the fact that it doesn't install a lot of files on your computer and uses very little space. It has not changed the speed of my computer either. I am very happy with this program and it is working perfectly. I love the piece of mind you get by using Webroot to protect your computer. #### Cons You have to be careful when you renew this program. They will send you a renewal price, but it will not be the lowest price you can find. If you purchase off eBay, make sure you confirm the activation date. I purchased one and there were only 7 months left on the 1 year subscription. Best Buy will activate on the date of purchase even if it has not been activated. #### Vendor response Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, Sally! We look forward to continuing to protect you for the foreseeable future. Warm Regards, Josh P.

Security #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like that it keeps not only my laptop but other devices safe from viruses and hackers. I like that it scans my laptop on its own. #### Cons I would like to see more updates on the status of my computer and in depth information regarding that. #### Vendor response Thanks for sharing your feedback with us! We'd love hear more feedback in regards to the types of updates you'd like to see: SocialCare@Webroot.com Warm Regards, Josh P. Digital Care Coordinator Replied October 2017 --- ### Best virus protection software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Virus protection #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This software won't take up a lot of bandwidth but will do a comprehensive job of protecting your system from external threats as well as scan for existing threats. It has a very low-key presence and very minimal popups. You won't be notified when the software is updating, it will happen automatically. In the 3 years we have been using this software we have never had a crash due to it's software, nor any issues with viruses. #### Cons There is a minimal yearly fee for this service. Oddly, renewing the service is cheaper when you purchase a brand new license as opposed to automatically renewing. --- ### So fast and unobtrusive that it has become a must for me. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Andrew M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use Webroot to protect 2 computer and 3 mobile devices. Being cloud based it has a tiny footprint on computer memory and resources. It scans at lightning speed compared to alternatives I have used in the past. This speed is important, since other software has often hindered my high usage programs i use for sound recording and editing. I don;t even notice Webroot is there, but when I check, it does what it says wonderfully. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The best part of this is that it does not slow down your PC or cause any lag at all. It works so much faster - many times - than other options I have tried. Customer service has been responsive in a reasonable time. #### Cons The only issue I have had is icons disappearing and having to reinstall to correct this. There is a help article on their site about it. Minor, but annoying when it happened. --- ### Why I like Webroot - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use my computer all of the time in my work efforts so any interuption cost time and money. Webroot has allowed me to go trouble free since installation. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to install. Apparently it is working because for the last 6 months I have had no computer issues. Prior to that was having issues every other week or so. #### Cons I found the cost to be not unreasonable high, but always want a lower price. Still would buy it again at the current cost. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 55 Reviews Load More Reviews ## OpenText Core DNS Protection Popular Comparisons [NordVPN vs OpenText Core DNS Protection](https://www.softwareadvice.com/security/nord-vpn-profile/vs/secureanywhere-dns-protection/)[SentinelOne vs OpenText Core DNS Protection](https://www.softwareadvice.com/network-security/secureanywhere-dns-protection-profile/vs/sentinelone/)[ESET Endpoint Security vs OpenText Core DNS Protection](https://www.softwareadvice.com/security/eset-endpoint-security-profile/vs/secureanywhere-dns-protection/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/network-security/secureanywhere-dns-protection-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
