central management was key, the other features like port controls, app controls, alert notification, remote lockdown, etc are why we have stuck with corporate symantec and when they came out with SBE it was nice, the server was alot less cumbersome, policy deployment streamlined, etc. Werent too sure about the cloud on this iteration, but its even better than any of the on premise variants. I also like threatcon level response, and immediate definition package updates, with on premise it was a pain to push new packages and verify policy changes propagated, now its all but instant. Webroot Ive never cared for, its what my mom used to run, always buggy and causing issues, I always assumed it was on par with Fprot and AVG, present, bulky, and useless
