Verdict

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, now part of OpenText, is a favorite in the MSP channel due to its incredibly small and fast agent, which installs in seconds and has a negligible performance impact.

What customers praise

The cloud-based management console is built for multi-tenancy, making it highly efficient for MSPs to manage hundreds of clients from a single dashboard.

What customers criticise

Its reliance on a cloud-based threat database means its offline protection capabilities are not as robust as some competitors that use more advanced local heuristics.

Best for

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their SMB clients who need an extremely fast, lightweight agent that won't slow down endpoints.
