Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Whether as a standalone solution or part of a unified platform strategy, Watchguard Endpoint Security provides high value. Our direction of going all in on Watchguard Advanced EPDR positions us to offer the best protection all the time, in every client situation. We are able to leverage our volume of business across our entire client base to bring Watchguard Advanced EPDR at a price that is on par or less than what organizations pay for lesser products. Many companies layer disparate vendor solutions that induce complexities and cost while our Watchguard unified platform strategy provides integrated threat protection.
Read full review Pros Vipre Antivirus constantly scans your computer in the background without a need for user intervention. In one program Vipre can successfully protect all your computing devices from both malicious virus attacks as where vicious spyware intrusions. You won't feel any slowness or sluggishness with Vipre installed & running in the background while you continue to use your computing devices. Read full review It does an excellent job of detecting and preventing threats It uses global intelligence to reduce the time and effort I need to spend performing security operations It is lightweight and easy to deploy to client computers using a single agent for all modules Read full review Cons 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. Read full review As with any application of this nature, it can block processes or other suspected security risks that are actually safe. While easy to use, it sometimes provides less learning opportunities for less experienced staff who are not as well-versed in these applications. Read full review Likelihood to Renew The ease of use, pricing, support, reliability, and quality of the product. Panda / WatchGuard products are highly rated, priced right and easy to maintain. All of this make it very easy to renew and purchase new licenses for us and our clients.
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Easy and intuitive MSP management portal to manage all of your clients from a single pane of glass. Policies can be pushed down globally or individually based on needs. The client portal allows access to their tenant information and installs only which is nice if you are working with clients who might have an internal person or an IT team that also wants access to things to manage themself.
Read full review Reliability and Availability The software is 100% managed on a cloud platform that can be managed via an account even if they are not present within the company network where the software is installed, I even always opened the control panel on the browser of my smartphone to monitor the situation.I have never experienced any abnormal software crashes
Read full review Performance The only annoyance I complain, if we want to be picky, is the fact of the constant disconnections from the control panel.Every about 4 hours the account logs out even if I set the "remember this device" flag; having said that I have not noticed neither slowdowns nor conflicts with other software
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review I gave it a 10 because I compare it to air conditioning. I need it to work every day, 24/7. I need it to be reliable and not something that requires a ton of interaction from staff to make sure it works every day. In addition, I should be able to run other things at my house when the AC is on. Panda fits that description.

Read full review Implementation Rating The software goes manually on a PC only on the company network and then proceeds through that PC to install the software on all the other clients through the control panel where all the clients / servers on the network are detected with extreme speed and ease of execution, even for uninstallation and remote control over scans
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Very similar. I feel like Watchguard need to get a better foothold with people trusting the name in the endpoint space. It has pretty much everything S 1 does but it also provides so much more. Simple things like patch management and encryption are fantastic adding that deliver true security value
Read full review Scalability With the implementation of watchguard (at the beginning Panda Endpoint, but it is the same) I was able to insert in the control panel all the unauthorized software previously installed by colleagues without any authorization from the various department heads.Now any licensed software goes into lockdown and can be unlocked from the control panel
Read full review Return on Investment The VIPRE MSP program cost effectively lets me integrate protection into every endpoint I protect. Integration with ConnectWise for deployment and billing has increased our revenue. Integration with ConnectWise for management means we keep endpoint protection coverage consistently above 99% to secure our clients. Read full review [...] The ability to make website URL and category viewing restrictions resulted in higher productive personnel and reduced the risks of infection. For the IT department, the centralised management console with all the information and tasks prepared to deploy to the endpoints helps us work more efficiently and faster. The ROI has been really good along [the] years, with a safer environment our employees work better and without stress, that translates in productivity.
