      Well, I just re-upped for one more year so I have a year to decide.

      Normally, I am not a fan of buyouts. Very rarely does it actually work to the users benefit.

      I re-upped last September, I believe. I have not been that impressed by webroot. I have had a few issues in the year and a half that I have used them. I can't imagine this will make them better.

        AV vendors seem to be super cyclic. One gets good, others get worse, but it is like a lava lamp, they just changing position. Except for a few like Symantec that never get good.

          @scottalanmiller I use Bitdefender business at home. Everyone but me is on fb and youtube constantly so I want something decent. Think its like $120 a year.

            @scottalanmiller Yeah, I have posted throughout the years asking which vendor was good at that time. I had used TrendMicro Officescan prior to WebRoot. Administration wise, with a few gotchas, webroot is much better with the cloud interface, but they have had some issues that caused downtime.

              @wrx7m Ive had good experiences with Bitdefender. Dependable and easy to work with.

                for how many computers? that seems like a lot, especially if it's only one

                    I have some customers running BitDefender since they did not want to do Sophos.

                      We have been mandated to switch to Bitdefender away from Kaspersky (Political decisions, sigh). Kaspersky wasn't that bad, and it did work relatively well compared with the competition.

                        Yeah, but still is a pain to manage... and renew...

                          not a fan of webroot. Think they never got past their consumer brand and focus. Carbonite started great and I have had some good and some bad experiences with them . I just think there are way better solutions out there then both of these by far.

                              @dafyre I agree that Kaspersky has been getting a bad rap due to the politics of the day . Plus the extras you can get with your higher packages including patch management and light MDM is actually pretty cool.
                              A shame.
