"Does the job well with a little administrative clunkiness"
4/5

"Prevent your users going to the wrong places"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Webroot DNS Protection?

Once set up, you can forget about it; users won't get to those dangerous places - they get blocked at the DNS level. So your network and other lines of defense don't even have to deal with it. And the laptops, on the road or at home, will get the protection whichever WiFi network they are on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webroot DNS Protection?

Setting up with some sensible defaults works pretty well, but you'll always have some exceptions to add to the rules. Category-based filters inevitably aren't perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Webroot DNS Protection"
5/5
What do you like best about Webroot DNS Protection?

It integrates on the firewall level, not only the device level. In the world, as we know it, BYOD is massive, as well as visitors, and protecting your assets (being your data) is at the forefront. Thus DNS Protection is of utmost importance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webroot DNS Protection?

No local webroot dns servers available in SA as of yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Webroot's DNS Protection is above all else"
5/5
What do you like best about Webroot DNS Protection?

The protection runs very light on usage so for the many less technical clients we have with older machines it doesn't slow them down it works seamlessly in the background.

Also the customisation of each clients end point so we can block specific URL's etc case by case Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webroot DNS Protection?

I haven't come across any errors, problems or faults within the system so I have no negative points Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
