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.

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.

Name recognition. And price. In the end, Vipre came out on top in both of those areas. Cylance promises AI heuristics. But being a new product, we were apprehensive. Vipre is a trusted brand that has been around for years. While their name has changed a few times. Inside they're still the same trustworthy company.

I have used McAfee and Norton on a personal level, not in a company environment. I know on a personal level I had issues with it slowing my computer down. I also had issues trying to uninstall McAfee completely. I'm not saying that they are bad products, I just think VIPRE has been a better fit and for the cost, it is great!

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.

A common price-point for standalone antivirus protection is about $40 per year. VIPRE Antivirus pricing system can get a bit complicated at times because the prices will vary depending on the type of package you purchase, the number of devices you wish to protect and the number of years you intend to remain their user. If you find the right combination, you can get your VIPRE Antivirus for just $29.99.

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.

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 a more affordable solution when compared to a number of other more prominent antivirus programs. There's no need to purchase an additional spyware program since Vipre protects you from both virus and spyware attacks. This most effective and affordable program can clearly match up against any competition. Vipre is clearly the front runner. There's no need to look elsewhere.

Vipre doesn't slow my systems down, deploys easily, and consistently wins in AV competitions in numerous areas. It's also more affordable when buying business premium and allows for some home users coverage as well. About the only issues my users have is spelling it correctly (Per the company's spelling, and in spite of spellcheckers changing it :) ).

It's much better than Symantec. The price is nearly half, offers patch management and does a better job of detecting malware. After we removed Symantec and installed Vipre every single one of our machines had malware files on them that Symantec never detected.

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.

GFI Vipre protects against viruses and spyware as well as threats from email, instant messaging and removable media.

It is a good full-featured protection that effectively detects and blocks prevalent malware. Proactively monitors your network and if threats are detected, GFI is efficient in reactive protection.

GFI is easy to use in commercial settings. Easy to configure by system administrators and IT managers. Hassle free and definitely has a better, easy to understand interface than most antivirus programs.
