        I personally run it and I have one client running it. It's super light weight and the console is nice.

          @Breffni-Potter They will be at SpiceWorld London, so you can get a more thorough demo there if you're interested.

            We switched to WR from Vipre a while back. Overall, I'm happy with the product. There are a few things that take getting adjusted to or that need addressing in the product:

            • Your actions in the web panel don't occur immediately. Depending on your settings, it can take up to 24 hours for the command to be processed by the endpoint.

            • Everything is MD5 based. You can't exclude by directory or filename. If the MD5 changes, then you have to "redo" your earlier changes to allow the new version of the app.

            • Identity Shield modifications (allow / deny an app) occur at the endpoint level rather than the policy level.

              The problem is, product demos are always biased. 🙂 They are there to show off their product and the demo I saw last night was good enough, I don't need someone to explain how it works when I can trial it.

              The biggest thing is, are people using it, do they like it or hate it, if they hate it, then no product demo will ever fix that, if they like it, then it just confirms what I know.

                  I haven't tried it on Windows since I like Sophos so much.

                  I'm stuck with Sophos on my Mac and am pretty unhappy with it. Can't tell if it even works but the updater definitely doesn't do anything 90% of the time.

                    As I see similar issues with Sophos on Mac, maybe the issue is having a Mac!

                        I'll admit that our Mac version isn't as polished as the Windows version, but there is current work going on to improve it. If you do have problems on a Mac let me know and I can get you some help from the guy who specializes in Mac stuff here.

                          I just took it off and never reinstalled it.

                            I never tried. I could do that now and we can be testing it out.

                              Fair warning. Don't do it on your main machine.

                                    Sorry about that - let me know if you want me to get someone to help you troubleshoot if you're wanting to try again.

                                      Does webroot have a local Enterprise web interface for management and AD integrated deployment? Never used it in an enterprise (or outside of my old mac) environment. I'm running Sophos at home right now with their console on my UTM (mainly cause the enterprise version is free for home use)

                                        I have never used it, but it does have one: http://www.webroot.com/us/en/business/products/endpoint/management-complexity/management-control.

                                          They've already got a demo on their site, I've already been through it, Not much to demonstrate apart from showing how I turn on feature X. 🙂 It's not a Symantec console.

                                            I'm a big fan. Excellent product with excellent support.

                                            Though, honestly, the mac version was crap when I uninstalled it. I'd rather have those 3 licenses back than to try it again.
