PowerTech Antivirus has value
Powertech Antivirus has identified objects containing viruses on our servers, that were quarantined to prevent access and allow source identification and removal.
PROSPowertech Antivirus is straight forward to install. Virus definition updates can be obtained directly from HelpSystems for each server or loaded to a central server for testing and distribution to enterprise systems 'in network', reducing exposure to outside connections. Scanning settings allow custom choices including types of objects to scan and whether before and/or after is required.
CONSIt would be nice if there was a choice on how many versions of the log to retain. Currently the log is replaced each time the scan is run. I would like to see retention of 3-5 copies.
Vendor Response
What a fantastically thorough review! We're so glad that you've found such success with Powertech Antivirus. We are grateful for our long term customers -- your feedback is what helps us make our solutions great! Your request for longer retention policies is certainly part of our roadmap -- stay tuned for future releases! Thanks for being part of the HelpSystems family!

Easy solution to a powerful threat
It's been all good. The sales support staff and technical support have been very easy to talk to. They ensured that I knew the capabilities of the software as well as what it was not capable of doing. Whenever I need help Help Systems tech support is always available. (Best technical support in the industry!)
PROSBest: Ease of use. I am not the most technical person so ease of use was very important. I did a work through/demo and decided to buy the software. The re-install was easy, needed no help to do it. Also, software PTFs and antivirus table can be set to automatically update.
CONSI wish that the antivirus software covered the whole system and not just the IFS.
Vendor Response

Thanks for being part of the HelpSystems family!

IFS Antivirus - covers all the bases
Easy to use and has the required functionality. Auto updates the latest virus definitions - essentially you can set it up and just let it run.
PROSVery easy to use and set up to run regularly
CONSNo alerts process for error or found viruses
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for your review! We take customer feedback very seriously, so your thoughts on the alerts process will go directly to the developers. We want to not only continue to cover all the bases, but hit a home run! Thanks for being part of the HelpSystems family!

Powertech Antivirus IBMi Review
I have a piece of mind that the IFS is not infected, and the shared drives are not being used to proliferate viruses throughout my network.
PROSI have a small staff and could not afford a bunch of extra time managing an antivirus. After initial setup PowerTech Antivirus is pretty much hands off. It will pull in updates when you scheduled it and it will scan the IFS when you scheduled it.
CONSAfter initial setup PowerTech Antivirus is pretty much hands off. I have to go see if it is active. Would be nice if it proactively told me what it finds and if it is active.
Vendor Response
This is exactly the type of scenario that we aim to help -- a usable solution that saves time while maintaining security. Our customers needs are incredibly important to us, and a key part of how we shape our roadmap. Your comments on having an activity alert will go straight to the developers. Thanks for being part of the HelpSystems family!

Powertech Antivirus
Software does what we want, but would not choose the software if I knew it was a re buy on a license transfer.
PROSThe software is great. Does what we need it to do.
CONSThe cost. We purchased this software for an iSeries and than transferred the software license to a different iSeries because the original iSeries needed an upgrade. We basically had to re-buy the software. I deal with a number of third party software products and this is the only one where I had to re-buy the software. Some others had a fee to transfer the license which I understand but a total re-buy seems exsessive.
Vendor Response
