VIPRE is a versatile antivirus software that is widely used across organizations for its excellent security features and ease of use. Users have reported implementing VIPRE on various devices, such as Windows Servers and Windows 10 Pro workstations, and have found it to be reliable in providing virus protection and patch management. The software's small footprint and low resource consumption make it a preferred choice for many, as it allows for accurate exclusions and easy management through a centralized console. The Business Premium version offers an Enterprise console, which enables users to effectively manage users, computers, and servers with customizable policies.

VIPRE's effectiveness extends beyond the organization's premises, as it provides both remote and direct protection to all endpoints. Users have found the Endpoint Protection feature particularly beneficial in detecting and removing viruses, as well as assisting with software patching. This complements major software updates done through SUS and GPO. Additionally, VIPRE serves as a core solution for desktop antivirus and malware protection, offering reliable detection without significant performance degradation.

The software further enhances the organization's security by providing multiple layers of protection against malware, spyware, and phishing attempts. Users appreciate the aggressive notifications that alert them to potential issues promptly. In addition to these features, VIPRE includes a built-in spam module for Outlook, making it even more useful for desktops and laptops.

VIPRE's usefulness extends beyond individual workstations or servers. The software offers centralized management through a console installed on a server, allowing for easy control and deployment of antivirus measures throughout the organization. Customers have reported successful implementation of VIPRE across entire organizations, resulting in blocking a significant percentage of medium to high critical threats.

While VIPRE has been praised for its overall performance, some users have noted initial challenges with virus detection compared to other solutions. However, its fast, powerful, and easy-to-manage endpoint protection from malware and ransomware has made it an essential component in organizations' security strategies.

Effective Security: Many users have stated that Vipre Antivirus is highly effective in protecting their devices from malicious virus attacks and spyware intrusions. It consistently outperforms major brands in AV contests, demonstrating its strong performance and reliability.

Low Resource Consumption: Numerous reviewers appreciate that Vipre Antivirus runs smoothly in the background without causing any slowness or sluggishness in their computing devices. The software is designed to have low resource consumption, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted performance even during scanning processes.

User-Friendly Management Tools: Several users have praised the console of Vipre Antivirus for being user-friendly and helpful in managing endpoint protection. The console allows them to easily identify unprotected machines and push updates directly to them, simplifying the administration process.

  1. Lack of Windows XP Support: Some users have expressed frustration that VIPRE does not support Windows XP, which has caused inconvenience for those still using this operating system.

  2. Absence of Web Portal for Chat Support: Several reviewers have mentioned the drawback of not having a web portal for online chat support, as they prefer this method of communication and find it lacking in VIPRE.

  3. No Parental Controls: Users who want to prevent accidental or intentional uninstallation of virus and spyware protection by children have raised concerns about the absence of parental controls in VIPRE's features.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

It is so good against all kinds of malicious viruses and helps protect data. It is good for all sizes of firm and as it is not heavy on the storage any computer system can afford it and this too is its good part that it doesn’t demand high storage and an extraordinary RAM and Processor rather it adjusts with all sort of systems. But its pricing is a bit disappointing.

  • Automation is key with this software. It makes deployment so simple.
  • Detection and reporting are excellent. We get an email when any threat is detected, and we can check threat history any time.
  • Control - we can remotely perform some basic tasks on workstations via the console. Reboots, messages, etc.
  • Maintenance - the server is fairly simple to maintain. It doesn't require too much hands-on. It just... runs.

VIPRE would be well suited for any size company. It can do many things to stop a user from getting a virus unless a user gives out their credentials in an email. I think everyone should be well educated about the dangers and scams going around. No antivirus software is 100% effective if you have someone that is not informed.

My company has been using VIPRE as the core for our desktop anti-virus and malware protection for as long as I can remember. It doesn't clutter your computer with unnecessary bells and whistles. It does exactly what is says it will do, performs well, and is accurate. What more do you need on an anti-virus program?

My company has been using VIPRE Bus Premium on its clients for several years. It has a fairly easy to use interface once you spend a little time getting familiar with it.

It has a nice management console that lets you not only see what is happening at all clients, but also road warriors that are not on your LAN. That feature has been very helpful for managing our mobile devices.

I don't have specific scenarios to recommend, as I have all my clients using VIPRE. It is easy to setup and also very powerful behind the scenes. They don't offer anything for Mac or devices which could be a nice thing if they did. For the desktop or laptop, VIPRE Cloud Endpoint is really a great development.

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.

Small Shops it's a great tool as you don't have to chase virus around as much. It does a great job and informs you. You can use the console to initiate scans on systems remotely so the user doesn't even know you're doing it. Less hassle getting a hold of users.

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.

Vipre bites 'em

I think this is a great solution, if you're looking for centrally managed AntiVirus. You can easily and quickly gather info on which computers need attention, which ones have infections, which ones are clean, and which ones are out of date - as well as connectivity, licensing, and other status info you would want from your Antivirus.

Vipre is a fairly robust solution, so if the money's not an issue, I'd say grab it up. If you're on a budget, and this doesn't fit into it, then that's when I would suspect this to not be a good fit, as there are cheaper options out there - though you're going to be doing a little more footwork supporting each PC if/when it needs it.

I find that Vipre is particularly well suited for the SMB space as it is budget friendly, and they can be persuaded to include multiples of home users licenses to protect those remote workers connecting to your WAN/LAN/VPN.

I have not run Vipre in a setting of over 150 desktops and 50 servers, so I do not know if there are performance issues rolling out to 1000's of desktops.

Essential for physical desktops and laptops. Offers great protection with very little footprint. Patch management is its best feature by far. Not as appropriate for virtual environments, at least virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). We do have Vipre installed on all 20 of our virtual servers and it works great.

Vipre is well suited for file servers and terminal servers - along with home laptops & workstations. Vipre is trusted to be used in commercial systems and is widely recommended in state and government systems. Municipalities are also a great example of where Vipre shines as it has effectively detected and removed many threats from the outside world. One great feature it now does have is to be able to scan file attachments and detect crypto viruses. It does not simply, however, remove the virus but prevents the system from being infected once detected. Only the end user can determine if the file attachment came from a trusted source.
