(1-5 of 5)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
My company uses VIPRE as the core for desktop anti-virus and malware protection. VIPRE has consistently been a solid performer in protection. Not only is its protection and detection reliable, it has much less overhead than its competitors. There is little if any performance degradation, which was our primary selling point. The central management makes deployment, updating, and ongoing monitoring a breeze.
- VIPRE consistently provides excellent virus and malware protection.
- It has much less overhead than its competitors.
- Provides both server and cloud-based management options.
- The integration into ConnectWise Automate is really useful.
- The newer Cloud management platform clouds use the ability to more easily import/export/share exclusions and policies. VIPRE is still in this process.
- More details reported on incidents contribute to documentation, so additional reporting would be helpful, but isn't a necessity.
- 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.
We have encountered many different anti-virus programs over the years. VIPRE combines an anti-virus program with anti-spyware to provide comprehensive protection against viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, and spyware. And it still tops other competitors by being affordable, with very low overhead.

VIPRE Endpoint Protection - a must have!!
We use VIPRE in our own production environment locally, at our office desktops, and installed on our remote deployment laptops. Our entire organization uses VIPRE Cloud Endpoint.
- Easy to install. Very lightweight software and installs and sets up while your not attending it.
- Cloud Endpoint is very simple to setup and VIPRE's expert protection settings are out of the box.
- Very simple to manage. The cloud based software shows a dashboard of all the connected devices and it is easy to add or remove global policies.
- It would be nice as a VIPRE Reseller to stop having to send out renewal emails to my clients that purchase VIPRe through me when the renewal is 2-3 months away from expiration.
- It would be nice as a supporter of VIPRE if there is a support section that offers snippets of code to assist in allowing programs and ports in the firewall.
- Low cost, great protection.
I have only used VIPRE. It beats all competitors in ease of use, easy installation and doesn't use PC resources like Norton or Trend Micro.

VIPRE - Great performance for great cost!
We use VIPRE for our VMWare server environment. We like the small footprint and low resource consumption used by the product, as well as the pinpoint accuracy of the exclusions we add. We also really like the easy management portal where we can effortlessly push out installs of Vipre to any new servers we deploy.
- Management of Endpoint protection made easy.
- Low resource consumption.
- So far it's caught anything that has been thrown at it, both test and actual viruses.
- Very aggressive on pricing.
- No cloud portal yet.
- Great performance for the price.
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.

My Vipre Review
We use Vipre for our Anti-Virus. We are using the Advanced Active Protection, Email Protection, Email Alerts, Exception Groups, Patch Management. This helps with one layer of security to protect our computers. Protecting against Malware, Spyware, Phishing, etc has to be a multiple levels of protection. Vipre notifies us of problems very aggressively. Most alerts we receive it has quarantined or blocked issues from happening to our users.
- Virus Protection You have to have Virus protection and that's the base of Vipre
- Email Protection for the email client - Anti-Phishing. Another layer of protection
- Web protection - Another layer to help protect you. You can also put in exception lists as well as block websites.
- We receive a lot of notices from Vipre. This is probably less of a negative but more of a nuisance as we admins get spammed by the amount of Virus that are detected.
- Occasionally you have to reinstall the clients if they stop updating.
- Occasionally you have to force agent/definition updates. It's much better when it works automatically.
- The only negative impact is when we bought another company and I merged their pc's into our AD it took a long time to load Vipre remotely. If you can load it on the same site your server is you have a much shorter install time.
- I have found using Vipre along with Meraki MX routers, and Barracuda Email and Spam gateway you have a great 3 level of protection!
- Support is very helpful when you need assistance.
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 that we have it and it has made my life easier. We were a shop of 1 and now we are an IT shop of 2. Using Vipre is pretty close to a set it and forget it model. Once setup you don't have to baby sit it much it just does the job. It is great for small IT shops!

Vipre is good for the price...Lousy Definitions.
Vipre is being used across the entire organization for all companies we support. This was a good product for baseline issues. We did see some Vipre issues in the beginning with it not catching many viruses that were found by Malwarebytes on the computers during troubleshooting. Vipre did not slow down the computer nearly as much as Symantec Endpoint Protection.
- Speed
- Cloud Management
- Quarantine
- Definitions
- Updating the program. Would fail at times. Uninstall and Reinstall would be the only option to fix this.
- More granular control of policies.
- Great pricing point for resellers
- Did not have touch each pc. could push any changes from the cloud.
- Allowed me to invest more time in other areas of need.
GFI Vipre was integrated into our current RMM system and we pushed over clients slowly. This was an upgrade from the previous virus protection on our RMM system.
