Webroot is a cloud-based endpoint security solution that helps small to large enterprises perform antivirus scans and prevent cyber threats across networks. It comes with an admin console, which enables users to configure system settings, grant access permissions, view data charts and generate reports on potential malware threats.
Webroot allows businesses to sort data in tabular formats and change the order of data points in columns as ascending/descending.

Best of the best, but you pay for it
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.
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.

Keeping my clients safe and secured
Overall very good experience and i completely recommend it to anyone looking for Endpoint protection solution. Managing small groups, large number of clients.....creating groups for devices .....keeping them safe and secured and follow their status. cost is very competitive
Pros
Easy installation, work in silence and doesn't affect device performance, easy to manage customers and categorize them as groups plus manage each one computers. creating different policies and choose which one to apply on each customer. can run scans and other commands from admin. It is working great against infections and risks so our customers and computers are staying safe and secured.
Cons
In some cases it has a problem keep running on Mac OS and say not seen or not online for sometime. Dashboard in admin home page can be improved and show more info about online computers, infected ones or need attentions. reporting can be improved.
Reasons for Choosing Webroot
It was part of other tools offered to us and cost was very good, features and software core impressed us when testing it.
Reasons for Switching to Webroot
Webrrot combined with other tools fulfilled our needs and what we are looking for to offer to our clients

Speed, but with sacrifices.
I've used Webroot Endpoint Protection for a little over two years. I've found every aspect of the product to be excellent except (and this is a big except) actual detection of threats, and client speed on OS X systems. Webroot allowed several common worms through at my client's location, and did not detect them on a standard Windows 7 installation, even on repeated scans, after I was able to confirm that the infected downloads and compromised .dll files were within the scope of protection. Needless to say, this did not inspire confidence. I wound up using a Kaspersky live stick to remove the infections, and installing a realtime threat detection system using Suricata and ClamAV to meet the data security needs of our clients and ensure we were meeting the obligations of our contracts.
Pros
Very easy to use and deploy, administrative console allows excellent granular controls of client privileges, scope of protection, and endpoint groups. Integrates with Windows server products for deployment (though I use Samba instead, so this was not an option), and provides a centralized point for administrator notification and action when compromised/infected systems are detected. Client seems relatively fast and works on multiple platforms, though see below re. OS X.
Cons
In my experience, Webroot, though the exposed end is fast and well-designed, does not reliably block or detect common threats. This is obviously a Big Deal in a product billed as enterprise-grade antivirus/antimalware. One employee at the affected client's office was able to download three separate third-party software installers containing malware payloads on a Saturday, install them, and work for a full weekend before I arrived back on Monday to complaints that her machine was being "slow and weird". I discovered that Webroot, though fully deployed and set to monitor downloads, warn on browsing, and scan the affected directories, simply had not alerted on anything. At that point, it doesn't matter how beautiful the interface may be: antimalware software which lets common malware through is essentially useless. Also, while there is an OS X client, it's buggy and slow. It causes problems with network browsing and network virtualization with both VirtualBox and VMware Fusion, and it results, for some reason, in systemwide UI slowdowns, which suggest to me that there may be some elemental problems with the codebase: use of deprecated APIs, memory leaks, etc.—not usable.

Webroot found the virus & kept my computer protected well !!
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.
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 Webroot
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.

Simple, light weight, and effective antivirus
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.
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 Webroot
Had a better console for managing multiple customers, outbreaks, and remediation.
Reasons for Switching to Webroot
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.
