VIPRE Antivirus Business Software

VIPRE has allowed me to feel safe

Pros

Since we have started with VIPRE, I have been comfortable in knowing our data is safe. I don't open an email with fear anymore.

Cons

Being a novice in anti virus, at first figuring out the settings best fit for me were a bit confusing.

Vipre Business Antivirus Antimalware Kicks Butt

Support is great, sale team is also very good.

Pros

Love that you have a centralized console to monitor all the computers you you manage. They do not need to be in one physical location. The reporting is great and the instant notification if a computer because infected is something every IT pro needs.

Cons

The console needs to sit on one computer. You can use the cloud version which fixes this problem but if you have many computers connects to the console the migration can be a pain.

Great Home Backup Solution

Works well and I like the product. Would recommend to users that are not as worried about security

Pros

This works great on home based computers or home based businesses. Blocks a lot and gives a lot of options for managing.

Cons

I would not use in a big business with all the other options that are out there.

Good if You Have an IT Pro

Trust you IT Guru.

Pros

Lots of options for tracking threats and also white listing safe addresses. Can be maintained remotely.

Cons

Complicated to set up and implement. Exceptions are required for a lot of sites relatively. Won't work at all with VMware.

Its good, just not something I would use personally.

Pros

Common threats were stopped in their tracks (on work laptop)
Central reporting
Reasonable compatibility with different systems
Minimal install

Cons

Slowed my business laptop to a crawl during its daily scanning. I grew very aggravated with it.

Shared login for the root account, no option to customize schedule if an individual employee.

The built-in firewall protection definitely cuts internet speed down considerably. On a 300MB line, I showed 70MB speeds. Had to disable the Windows service to restore the expected transfer speed.

Unknown effectiveness on actual servers.

Different exe versions for laptop, desktop, server, etc...

I would recommend this product

I would recommend this product. We have had it for years and it has worked well.

Pros

It is nice to see all of your computers in one place on the console machine. It is easy to add agents to the computers. The customer service is helpful.

Cons

Some of the tasks are hard to navigate at first but if I do have issues the customer service is really helpful.

One of the best

Pros

Vipre is one of the best enterprise anti-viruses I've ever used. Central management, easy deployment, great reporting.

Cons

The UI for the server side needs to be updated. Looks like it's from the 90s. Client side looks great.

Excellent Antivirus Software

Pros

Vipre is a fantastic software to protect your computer from viruses and malware. I highly recommend this product to everyone.

Cons

There is nothing I do not like about Vipre. It is a great antivirus software and great and protecting your computer.

Updates cause issues with other software

Pros

This system is GREAT at shielding your computer system. Its like a fortress that has been built to protect.

Cons

Seems that with each update that comes, it wipes away settings where I have allowed certain files from my office management software to pass through the antivirus system. The result is needless time spent trying to figure out if the issue is being caused by the OM software or AV software. I now check Vipre first everytime.

Vipre Business is a very solid product that kept our network secure for many years.

Very consistent & easy to work with software that managed our client computers well.

Pros

Our version of Vipre was server-based and gave us a lot of granular control over our clients. I could initiate several AV functions immediately from the control panel, and I could also check the status of many software patches for each of those clients. The overhead of the used resources was low, and the nightly scans performed well each night. Reporting and notifications were also good.

Cons

We left this software in favor of a more moderately priced web solution in terms of seats. Vipre would occasionally let in some files that were infected and that would need to be detected/removed by other malware specific programs. Not many, but enough to make me think of other solutions. I'm not sure if they have come out with a cloud solution since we left in Fall of 2017, but that would have been a nice option as well.

VIPRE AntiVirus allows me to protect all computers in the office against computer virus threats

Run other programs while running the VIPRE antivirus on the PC

Pros

that works without problems without compromising the performance of the system and has a powerful antivirus and antispyware engine that combines the detection of all types of malware in a single efficient system.

Cons

That if the computer does not have enough ram memory, the search engine slows down the computer to execute other programs

This product is worth trying as it provides good antivirus protection to our equipment.

Pros

Its interface is super simple, very well designed, easy to use, intuitive and those features were the ones I liked the most

Cons

Little known, I did not know of its existence until I found it in the list of capterra and I tested it.
A bit of flaws when it comes to support and documentation.

Reliable protection for your business

Pros

Easy to manage, instant quarantines and threat protection, automatic updates that require little management.

Cons

I have not had any luck getting Vipre to push installs to any workstations, servers, or laptops, but it is very easy to create a custom package and install it straight from the client.

I tested Vipre with a variety of penetration tests and it stopped most attacks immediately

Pros

I threw a littany of attacks at Vipre and it immediately recognised and stopped all but those I ran by eminating an HID device for which I had physical access to the computer. While there are certainly ways to bypass Vipre, it has, in my experience and research, a constantly updated list of attacks and an immediate response time. The power of this software also makes it a less desirable target for attacks as one could spend much less time creating an attack for a weaker and more commonly used program

Cons

When Vipre runs a scan it takes up a ridiculous amount of processing power. I'm running dual xeon processors with a SSD and 32Gb of ram and I still have to kill the procoesss. That said, scheduled the full scans for the middle of the night and you should be good to go

It's an antivirus that really work and your device bearly notice about it

Security and safety of my information

Pros

It doesn't slow down my pc, works because i have no virus problems in years, and the only time i need support (for setup after a windows upgrade) the support team solve by remote control.

Cons

i think the only think that vipre does not cover yet is the multi-language UI, and it's not really a Con but will be a plus to include this option in the future for this product.

VIPRE Review

Our company uses VIPRE and I feel it is secure. I do not receive obnoxious notifications from it, as some other protection software does. That's nice.

I used this product for 2 years as our business anti-virus product.

Pros

Excellent console and dashboard, Good customer support, saves $$.

Cons

Protection is not as good as other products. It does not catch everything and does not prevent cryptowall.

One of my favorites, must be on your evaluation list

Pros

The antivirus is very complete, with all the features you need. The UI is clean, with a lot of customization and tuning to make it right for your needs. Great virus detection, not resource intensive, end-user will like it! (Except maybe the firewall).

Cons

Doesn't support the new Mac OSx (Based on the website). Not Cloud-Based management. You need the premium to have all features.
