Symantec Endpoint Protection and Webroot Internet Security Plus 2022 are both more than sufficient to meet the needs of most end users and IT and security administrators as the two products are reliable, unassuming and easy to use and administer; however, each has a set of features that may not be universally the same.

Let's take a look at the features of and contrasts between Symantec Endpoint Protection and Webroot Internet Security Plus 2022.

Symantec Endpoint Protection, also known as Endpoint Security, an evolved derivative of the Symantec Endpoint Protection workhorse, is now sold under the Broadcom name.

Symantec products are geared toward consumers and businesses, but Symantec Endpoint Protection is more of a corporate software set, as the centralized management capability would only benefit a business needed to manage hundreds or thousands of clients.

Webroot Internet Security Plus 2022 draws on nearly the same level of background expertise as Symantec Endpoint Protection, having debuted in 2008.

Webroot has a more dedicated anti-phishing component than Symantec's; while Symantec offers capability in that realm as part of its antispam function, it's more of a bundled feature.
