Pros

  • Software Patching - It just works. Rather well, actually. Flash, Java, etc are all kept up to date on my 400+ computers so I don't have to worry about them.
  • Auto-installs. Vipre periodically scans the network for new computers on the Domain and installs itself to help automate protection.
  • Management - It's easy to create deployable packages to give to our field techs. This ensures computers off-WAN are protected and report into the central server.

Cons

  • Upgrades - client upgrades don't appear to be automatic. I've recently had to be quite hands-on in upgrading client versions from 9x to 10x.
  • Control interface - the server control interface needs some work. And it has for years. It is definitely better, but it's a bit slow, and sometimes will randomly wipe the list of computers with which I'm working and rebuild it slowly.

Return on Investment

  • Vipre pushed and update for device control last year. It caused our workstations to reboot every 20 min. They resolved it within a day - which to me was too long. But in the end, we got everything sorted out. This certainly caused pause for the next renewal cycle. We did end up sticking with them.
  • Vipre helps keep us from having to touch every single computer we add to the domain. Remote deployment is one of my favorite features. Deploy on-demand is also good to have available - which it does.
  • Patch management again - it is a key reason we stuck with Vipre. Endpoint protection is the way to go.

Pros

  • Scanning all emails from both Exchange server as well as standard POP and SMTP ports.
  • Scans computer and scheduled times and reports back to server.
  • Sends email notifications of any files or emails that might be contaminated.

Cons

  • When sending email notifications it would be nice if it stated the actual file infected not just the virus and host computer.

Return on Investment

  • VIPRE is not as expensive as some of the more popular solutions.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment

  • 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.

Alternatives Considered
