    The only issue we have had is sometimes the web app is too slow, and that causes issues with us wanting to continue to use FOSSA over going with another tool. That is the only problem. I noticed it happened more recently, but if that is solved now or will be solved, I would 100% recommend this tool to anyone!

    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.

    • Interface for loading results can be slow, this is the #1 issue we have faced.
    • Speed of scans could be improved.

    • 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.

    • Hard to measure the ROI, but no doubt having licenses be above board is fantastic for protection of your software.
    • Caused developers to make more informed decisions.

    • 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.
