User Testimonials
	Check Point Harmony Endpoint	VIPRE
Likelihood to Recommend	Check Point Endpoint Security is well suited for businesses where confidentiality must be maintained in order to mitigate risk and compromise of customer information Incentivized David Hundley Collections Supervisor Read full review	Vipre is clearly a well suited antivirus program both in the professional world as well as in the home environments. Vipre offering the same price per seat to protect the typical personal workstation as well as the robust office server is a major plus. Incentivized Paul Li Senior Associate Read full review
Pros	Identifies ransomware Low resource usage Self remediation Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It is quite effective against all kinds of viruses and provides 360-degree protection. Its scanning action is quite fast and less time taking. It has the ability to scan emails too, from viruses. It is reliable, easy-to-use, and provides excellent protection. LG Lawrence Gibson Product and Marketing Analyst Read full review
Cons	Types of devices to control needs to be added like McAfee and GFI Endpoint Security. Device whitelisting needs more granular level like by Vendor ID, Serial Number, Device ID etc. Device Control and Media Protection on MacOS to be added. Incentivized Raj Kumar Jha Sr. Technical Lead Read full review	The patch management feature could be updated. It doesn't work all of the time. Some updates cause issues with computers. This has happened a couple of times but I was able to get a hold of someone at VIPRE support and work through it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Pointsec Policy management is more user friendly and it is excellent solution for Windows machines. Incentivized Raj Kumar Jha Sr. Technical Lead Read full review	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 else where. Vipre fits our server needs just fine. Incentivized MB Mike Braddock Network & Systems Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	Decreasing vulnerability to attack is the key, it's the game to play and Pointsec plays it very well. Key management systems and the various recovery options are very well thought out. Full disk encryption vs. file or folder encryption system. With FDE data is encrypted automatically when it's stored on the hard disk making this the best solution. Incentivized Bonn Chavez Senior Systems & Network Engineer Read full review	We have had zero downtime due to a virus or exploit getting through the Vipre software capabilities. We saved over 3k$ over Symantec and others offers. The alerts that my IT team gets in real time has saved us from many issues as we intervened before users often knew there was the potential for problems, saving us time and money.
