I continue to use the software at home and recommend to anyone out there to include Webroot in their list of vendors to evaluate. Do not let the technology get to you. Just because the software does something different than what you are used to, try it out before disregarding Webroot as a solution. We found Webroot easy to deploy with a light footprint which more than made up for the additional cost. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Webroot does an amazing job of removing and detecting threats to computers. We also found it very simple to install with a very light footprint on the computer. Users never complained about computer slow downs due to virus scans when we had Webroot deployed. #### Cons We faced two issues with Webroot. Their technology is impressive, but complicated. We never were able to really wrap our heads around how their technology worked compared to other antivirus / antispyware solutions, but it did work, and was quite successful at it. The other concern with Webroot was its price. It is the best software out there we have found for computer protection but it is among the most costly. --- ### Not perfect, but our choice for our domain - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mario G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Setup and implementation across our domain was pretty painless. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Low performance impact, easy to use. A well-known and well-established product. #### Cons Sometimes may be lacking in actual removal or detection. Still, very good in comparison. #### Reasons for choosing OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ Overall, it fit our IT skills in terms of implementing and managing. It's management features are easy to use and robust, and cloud-based. --- ### End Point Protection That Works - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rich W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Networking - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Over all my experience has been Great. It was very easy to Learn. I do not want to Jinx my organization by saying too much. It is also priced right in the wheelhouse for my organization, and my clients.. The Support has improved exponentially over the years! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Super Simple Deployment with the Agent having a very Light footprint on Workstations. It's very easy to manage from the OpenText Console. In my opinion the end Point Protection is second to none. You can Customize by creating different Policies for each Organization you manage. This product in my opinion is the Best Next Gen End Point Protection by far, and I have been a client for 11 years. #### Cons You do get the Occasional False Positive, but they're easily rectified by creating an exception.. No Product is Perfect! --- ### Not the best option in this space now - Unable to fix problem after almost a year - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Steve W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Again, the product worked great for us for many years and ran quite smoothly. Unfortunately, once we ran into issues, their support essentially threw their hands up and said they can't get this updated or fixed unless it's affecting more customers, and by the end, they essentially just wanted us to leave so they didn't have to deal with our issues anymore. I believe the company has grown beyond its means and is now focused on large clients only, and doesn't have the resources, ability or support to assist with smaller companies with dedicated issues anymore #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Webroot worked great for our company for monitoring incoming threats for several years, before everything fell apart. #### Cons Unfortunately, our last year or so with them was fraught with constant issues that Webroot was unable or unwilling to resolve. At one point, they admitted there was an issue with their software causing it, but it was unlikely the code developers would look into fixing this since we were small time and it wasn't a widespread issue. Their support team eventually gave up trying to assist us after many hours of issues and different support individuals (Several who were quite combatative and unhelpful). We moved to WINDOWS DEFENDER FOR BUSINESS and couldn't be happier with the service and ease of use provided #### Reasons for choosing OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ We moved from Webroot to Windows Defender For Business as they were unable to resolve our issues after almost a year of support. --- ### Simple, light weight, and effective antivirus - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rob P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We were a large enough deployment that we had assistance in our initial installation from a Webroot Engineer to setup the different policies for workstations, servers, and remote desktop servers. The understanding of the setting in the policies and having someone guide us to making the right decisions was key to making sure that we were protected and that Webroot did have any performance impact especially on our servers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We use the software daily and find that it is easy to use and do not get any complaints from users about it slowing down their systems. Deployment and licensing is simple and can be done by sending an email with a link, group policy, or manual installation. We get alerts in near real time of any threats found and while we sometimes have to do additional remediation we have not had a serious outbreak. #### Cons We get false positives around generic Trojans that need to be whitelisted. The whitelisting of programs in by the MD5 hash of the files contained in the programs. The method for identifying and whitelisting the MD5 hash of files in the programs is not intuitive and is done by what Webroot sees as unidentified files. Since Webroot does not have the traditional whitelist a folder so it doesn't scan the folder for viruses that other AV systems use we are often having to explain and butt heads with software vendors who blame the AV for issues. Technical support is knowledgeable, but we had issues getting a hold of technical support and response to tickets is often 24 - 48 hours. #### Reasons for choosing OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ Had a better console for managing multiple customers, outbreaks, and remediation. #### Reasons for switching to OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ We did not find Symantec Endpoint Protection to be an effective product at actually preventing viruses. We also felt that even with the amount of EndPoints (400+) that we were not a valuable customer to them. #### Vendor response Thank you for all of the valuable feedback! Replied October 2020 --- ### Excellent Antivirus software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience has been positive, I have no issues with this product and I use it for all of my customer which is almost 100 at this time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Simple interface, easy to use, no update necessary, streaming definition, easy to install, and takes seconds to deploy #### Cons I wish the firewall was more advance and has more customization, I believe they need to work on this. #### Reasons for choosing OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ Bitdefender was a very large install, it was more involved when installing in a business has it needs a device to be a update server, it still requires definitions to be downloaded and it slow down the computer. #### Reasons for switching to OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ Pricing, better product as there is no need to download definitions, lightweight install and able to manage via a web console. #### Vendor response Thank you for the honest feedback! Replied September 2020 --- ### Clear Winner in a Crowded Field of Protection - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Anthony M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall it is very easy to find antivirus protection but when it comes to minimal false negatives and no resource hogging clients this is the clear winner. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Webroot is a thin, non-system resource intensive anti-virus and malware protection suite. We have tried countless renditions of protection but none offer the amount of protection and ease of use as Webroot. We deploy the client from the web panel and each user is managed in groups with group policies set within our management console. All viruses, malware, and other threats are reported and handled by the client and admins are notified of the threat. The good thing is that the deployment talks to our cloud based management whenever internet is accessed. Users can't disable the client either without our administrative overview. #### Cons The only con I can see is we have had a couple clients that appeared twice in the management and with no rhyme or reason. This was fixed by removing both an reinstalling the client on those particular clients. The good news is that it only happened once or twice. #### Reasons for choosing OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ CNET reviews and research #### Reasons for switching to OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ We were looking for the least system hogging protection. --- ### WebRoot review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Don H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Medical Devices - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - 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: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Worked quite well, quiet / behind the scenes. Not a lot of false positives and don't recall ever a case where it didn't catch malware. #### Cons WebRoot was deployed by our IT services provider and they set up all the controls / restrictions so unsure if limits were inherent in the system or imposed by our provider. Still, users had what they needed; i.e., it would scan in the background, take action as needed, and users could trigger a scan if they needed. #### Reasons for switching to OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ It was a better value and, according to our IT services folks, was a more robust system. #### Vendor response Glad to hear you're having a good experience using Webroot! Thanks for leaving us a review. Replied May 2022 --- ### Webroot found the virus & kept my computer protected well !! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carl R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I used many computer security companies but Webroot overall gave me and my friends our monies worth in virus protection alone. Almost everyone I suggested Webroot to bought & installed it, they were quite impressed at how much better their computers & other devices ran so much smoother. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The first initial scan found a virus that another security software couldn't detect. I also like how I and my friends could use this software on multiple devices for free. #### Cons The price escalating about ten dollars or more per year subscription but still a great value. The password protection needs to be more user-friendly. #### Reasons for switching to OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ Because at that time McAfee couldn't locate & destroy a virus on my desktop so I switched to Webroot & it was found very quickly and eliminated. #### Vendor response Appreciate your feedback about our need to make things more user friendly! Replied November 2020 --- ### Great low noise AV - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Robert L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This has been a great product for the lower priced AV out there. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It's very non-intrusive on the desktops. It only lets you know it's working when it finds something. I like the low overhead vs some of the others out there. #### Cons It's not as full featured as others with AI detection. Not sure how zero-day detections are with this vs higher end products #### Reasons for switching to OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ No compatibility issues with any software --- Showing 1 - 10 of 217 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cybersecurity/webroot-profile/reviews/) ## OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​ Popular Comparisons [ManageEngine Endpoint Central vs OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/117339-ManageEngine-Desktop-Central/vs/414862-webroot/)[SentinelOne vs OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​](https://www.softwareadvice.com/container-security/sentinelone-profile/vs/webroot/)[ESET Endpoint Security vs OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​](https://www.softwareadvice.com/security/eset-endpoint-security-profile/vs/webroot/)[Symantec Endpoint Security vs OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​](https://www.softwareadvice.com/encryption/symantec-endpoint-protection-profile/vs/webroot/)[Malwarebytes for Business vs OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​](https://www.softwareadvice.com/security/malwarebytes-for-business-profile/vs/webroot/)[Bitdefender GravityZone vs OpenText Core Endpoint Protection​](https://www.softwareadvice.com/encryption/bitdefender-profile/vs/webroot/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cybersecurity/webroot-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
