Webroot SecureAnywhere Business Replacement?
-
Webroot was opening applications?!
I' page @Nic but he doesn't work there any longer.
-
@wrx7m from the sounds of it, you're in the same boat as me. Time to replace windows. . .
-
@dustinb3403 - No, it wasn't opening applications. It was grinding to a halt when trying to open applications while the task manager was open or vice versa.

When what was trying to open applications, the user or webroot?
-
@dustinb3403 The user. Let's say you wanted to open Firefox, but had task manager open. As soon as you opened Firefox, the mouse would go into slow motion and would be extremely delayed to the point it would take at least a full 2 minutes to close one or the other and regain control.
-
@wrx7m Alt+F4 didn't work to close either?
-
@dustinb3403 Nope. All keystrokes and mouse input were severely delayed. Ctrl + Alt + Del would take a minute or two to register.

This task Manager behavior is from Webroot?
I see it occasionally; one developer in particular says it is always a problem. -

According to the most recent post in that thread (edit - the most recent post is currently 2 weeks old), a beta release fixes this issue. Being that the thread started in December of 2017, it goes to show how long it takes them to fix things.

What about looking at Intune?

Thanks. I hadn't considered it for this, but was thinking about it for MDM/EMM. I will take a look.
There is the first replacement suggestion. What are others using?

I've actually been considering dumping my AV everywhere and moving to Intune - because Microsoft - hopes that MS does a better job integrating with systems than 3rd parties, plus the other benefits that come with Intune.
Windows 10 has the same engine already installed that Intune uses, you just get reporting now with Intune.
Heck, upgrade to Microsoft 365 and you get Windows Enterprise and the security suite. -
Ouch - I just looked up Intune - $6/u/m It's easily twice as much as more AV products, and in some cases four times.

Ouch. Yeah, that is expensive. We just migrated Exchange 2010 to Office 365 Business Premium and I am still tweaking the setup and know that it has some features available at that license level, but not sure how many.

Why not Windows Defender?

Doesn't that use Intune or SCCM to manage it?

By itself is has no centralized reporting.

Yes on Intune, don't know about SCCM.

I will definitely need centralized management.

So for Intune, it boils down to - does the cost make sense when you add in the other features you gain along with AV? I'm not sure I can get there. Damn it's way more expensive than O365 Business, 20% more... for RMM and AV...
Shit MS is basically giving O365 away, it's the add-ons that kill ya!
