Comodo Antivirus vs. Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere)

[Comodo Antivirus] is good for
personal and professional use. It has the capability to detect viruses and
malware and remove them within no time. Its scanning speed is far better than
many other antivirus software. Its pricing is not so good so if one can afford
such a high rate anti-virus tool then I think one should go for it because it
is worth it.

Webroot can be great if you have many employees using computers. Sensitive business information can be accessed by malicious threats online if your employees are not trained to avoid these problems. In this case, I think it's important to have software to protect you. If working with a smaller team (and not doing any sort of video production or other intensive software/applications) I can't see a need for anything like Webroot. Learning how to use the internet safely and protecting your file storage are things to be done on the cheap and with smarts.

• It works swiftly.
• It keeps the history of the threats and detects them immediately.
• Highly efficient against malware.

• It is very lightweight. You dont even know it is running, yet it is always protecting the endpoint.
• It has protected us from various threats, including ransomware - even when wannacry was hitting companies everywhere.
• They have a good console with multiple provisioning options, so we were able to push it to everyone when we first started using it, and then include it as part of our deployment process going forward.

Incentivized

• The interface is a little bit difficult which really needs to be improved.
• The lazy support team can affect it badly.
• The installation process is too slow.
• Searching for some features is difficult at times.

Incentivized

• If there is no network connection to the cloud infrastructure, there will be no protection (drawback if there is no "layer 1" connection).
• Heuristics can only combat some viruses, so it probably needs more methods to combat different viruses.
• There are some instances where the server fails to push out (the server's fault), leaving a small fraction of users unprotected when they are set up for the first time.

We just renewed for our second year without even shopping around. We are very happy with it.

It's easy to renew with Webroot, their support is very attentive and highly available. However if you do choose to change products, they even provide means of removing the software from your endpoints via the admin portal which is very convenient.

I have interacted with them several times, and I'm not giving them a 10 because they never blew my mind how good they were, but they certainly met my high expectations and helped us resolve all issues we had. We paid for support to help us set it up, and I think that was a good choice. There's a very steep learning curve at first with the initial configuration. We feel confident in being able to change everything now that we have been using it, but initially it was all a very new thing to us since we never had used a centrally managed Antivirus and Firewall program before.

We have not had to use Webroot support much over the years. The one or two times we did we were referred to online documentation and in a somewhat condescending manner in one case and in another case, the support person did not demonstrate much knowledge of their product and referred us to the user community for support.

When we were using Avast, at first we thought its working well but soon we witnessed three malware and then we realized to find the best of all malware protection which leads to getting the Comodo Antivirus. Comodo [Antivirus] is fast, secure, and efficient. and this was all we needed and doing well for us.

I honestly have not put in enough research and time for alternative products to compare against Webroot. I don't think my opinion would be worth stating since I don't have a good comparison of apples to apples against other products.What continues to keep me interested in Webroot is just not the product - but the technology behind the product that makes Webroot a leading industry standard.

Ease of implementation across various devices is easy and efficient regardless of scale. Whether it is 5 devices or 500 the product continually proves its the best in its class.

• We are relaxed in our concern for data protection.
• It has proved itself as a beneficial tool.
• It assisted us in protecting our systems.

Incentivized

• It has had a mostly positive impact as we have not had any breaches.
• The only negative impact has been when Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) changed something on their end that caused one of our business applications to not be usable by end-users. That cost our business a fair amount as it took 4 days before it could be used again.
