I have used McAfee and Norton on a personal level, not in a company environment. I know on a personal level I had issues with it slowing my computer down. I also had issues trying to uninstall McAfee completely. I'm not saying that they are bad products, I just think VIPRE has …

A common price-point for standalone antivirus protection is about $40 per year. VIPRE Antivirus pricing system can get a bit complicated at times because the prices will vary depending on the type of package you purchase, the number of devices you wish to protect and the number …

We use FortiClient on our end-user workstations, for the VPN capabilities, but the antivirus was a little too aggressive for our servers. Vipre solved that problem. We used ESET before FortiClient, but was not pleased with the changes brought on by version 6.0, so we looked …

Name recognition. And price. In the end, Vipre came out on top in both of those areas. Cylance promises AI heuristics. But being a new product, we were apprehensive. Vipre is a trusted brand that has been around for years. While their name has changed a few times. Inside …

The dashboard is so much better and more intuitive in Vipre than Trend Micro. We migrated a company we purchased away from Symantec. I never used the cloud option of Symantec Endpoint Protection. I didn't choose Vipre, I inherited it with my new position. I am very happy …

VIPRE is way more robust, in an enterprise setting. I would go with Avast, if I was protecting a handful of workstations but beyond that, I appreciate the centralized management.

It's much better than Symantec. The price is nearly half, offers patch management and does a better job of detecting malware. After we removed Symantec and installed Vipre every single one of our machines had malware files on them that Symantec never detected.

Robust protection with a small footprint. Catches all malware and viruses, while respecting the exclusions put in place by our organization. Pricing was very aggressive compared to other products. Great management application, where you can manage the installations and even update third-party apps on those machines from that portal. Great product for a great price.

When using older versions of Outlook I have seen the plugin cause sluggish behavior and hangs, in 2007 and 2010 versions specifically.
For some business applications, there are .dll's and libraries and application .exe's that can be misidentified as virus or trojans. While it is fairly easy to whitelist these once discovered, new implementors should be aware that they will need to carefully look through their initial virus scan reports to find and whitelist these items.

VIPRE is very easy to use and administer. You have a lot of functionality from the server on what you can do with the clients. It has proved useful when I can't access a client any other way. I can reboot the computer from the server and then usually get back into that machine.

VIPRE support is usually pretty quick. Sometimes you have to get a lot of information to send back so they can see the issue. This has not been too bad and I understand why it's needed. VIPRE also has a free rescue tool that is very useful and easy to use. There have been others but VIPRE seems to keep theirs updated. It's my go-to even outside of work.

We got a chance to buy AVG Business edition and we tried to install that throughout our organization and most specifically to our important systems but it was not compatible with a majority of them and we found AVG as high-demand software with a mediocre speed of action and more pricing. So in comparison to AVG, VIPRE is good in all aspects.
