CloudfloorDNS vs. Webroot DNS Protection

CloudfloorDNS is a great product, particularly if you want a reliable DNS service without breaking the bank. They support all the standard record types (A, CNAME, NS, MX, etc.) Very easy to use. They also have a way to roll back changes in case something unexpected happens. I would say if you have a small IT department and need DNS to just be a utility that you never have to think about, this is a good product for you.

Webroot is very easy to setup and configure, while offering some fantastic best of breed protection. It can do a lot and offer enough to a business quick enough to justify its cost very quickly and effectively. The DNS protection on offer is very well suited and will grow alongside the organisation.

Incentivized

• Policies by IP, Groups, and even by device.

• I think they meet all of our needs, so not much to say here; we switched from a very well known provider to save money and have been very happy with the service

Incentivized

• No discount for using both the AV and the DNS filtering
• Redirection is pretty slow
• As Webroot is a company that caters to the SMB and customers looking for a cheap solution, the threat protection is not that great compared to some of its competitors

They have all the same features and customer service without the price tag. We used Dyn as our DNS provider for over a decade. We continued after the acquisition by Oracle, but decided to save a few bucks.

It's pretty similar when you compare it to the DNS filters of other AV vendors. They're all additional offerings to the core solution of an AV. I would say if you're on Trend Micro and you're thinking of moving to Webroot, it's really a sideways step, but it's certainly a big improvement to have this product over nothing at all. It's pretty cheap, easy to manage, and definitely offers value for money due to the big leap in security this will give your business

• It takes one more thing of our list of things to manage; once it's working, we can focus on more important things
• I have received calls letting me know that we might be experiencing a DDoS attack; they had already remediated the threat by throttling the traffic from that source back so it did not overwhelm resources. Had that not been sufficient, they were already ready to spin up additional virtual servers to offload some overhead and make sure that we were not impacted by the situation. They continued monitoring until things were back to normal and followed up with a call to discuss. Very good service.

• It is a centralized platform, easy to use, completely affordable. It provides a completely positive return on investment by providing a higher level of security and better performance for our organization.
