Publisher's Description
From ThreatTrack Security:
Sunbelt realizes that as a system / security administrator, you have better things to do than to put out fires and listen to end users complain about slow computers. VIPRE Enterprise was built for the administrator that is sick and tired of old-style enterprise antivirus programs and endpoint security suites that have bolted on module after module and now are peddling bloatware as a security solution. VIPRE Enterprise is designed to optimize overall performance by melding enterprise antivirus and spyware protection together into one, single, powerful engine. This combination of technologies gives you high-performance endpoint protection with anti-malware software that doesn't slow down users' PCs, is low on system resources, and makes it easy for you to protect your network. VIPRE Enterprise means powerful antivirus and spyware protection against today's highly complex malware threats. No more system slowness and resource headaches of older corporate antivirus products.
VIPRE has been tested by Microsoft and is officially compatible with Windows 7 as per September 2009. VIPRE is also Checkmark 'Wildlist' Anti-Virus Desktop certified by West Coast Labs and will continue to receive additional certifications through time.
Sunbelt's advanced security technology is famous for being in the front lines in the battle against new and unknown malware, known as 'zero-day threats'. MX-Virtualization analyzes malware in real-time, in a small, 400K super-efficient secured memory "lock box" that emulates Windows. MX-V fools the malware into thinking it has taken over a PC. MX-V allows VIPRE to observe how the malware behaves and kill it before it can infect a machine. MX-V technology is the safest way to protect against zero-day threats. VIPRE's Genscan and Cobra heuristics use high-performance dynamic pattern assessment to determine if something is malware. Improved - VIPRE's Active Protection delivers real time 24/7 monitoring and protection against known and unknown malware threats. Active Protection works inside the Windows kernel, watching for malware and stopping it before it has a chance to execute on a user's system.

"Excellent Antivirus/Anti-Malware/Firewall product"
Version: VIPRE Enterprise 4.0.4359
Pros
Very easy on the resources, and very effective at catching malware. Not perfect, but nothing is. Also, the central management utility is excellent. It allows you to configure just about every aspect of the app.
Cons
Not free. :-) Uninstaller for competitive products doesn't work as well as it could. This *may* have been fixed since we started using Vipre Enterprise. No telephone tech support that i can find.
Summary
We have been using Vipre Enterprise for a couple years at work now and recently, after we had a web-based infection, got a free upgrade to Enterprise Premium. The ONLY real problem I've had, I was able to work through with tech support. I wanted to move the management console to a different machine, and Tech Support came through with a nice "how-to" document.
This is NOT a version to use for machines, such as laptops, that do not connect to the management console regularly. For that you should use the "Home" versions, which are virtually the same product without the central management capability.
I really like Vipre Enterprise because I can manage the clients centrally and can get a notification via email if there's a problem with one of the machines on my network (such as spyware/malware/virus trying to infect it or definitions significantly out of date.)
I highly recommend the "Premium" version, even if you don't want to use the firewall built into it, as that version will also protect you against hostile websites and applets on "good" websites that are bad. Also, the Premium version will allow you to block websites such as porn or other "Not Safe For Work" (NSFW) websites in the console, so that if someone *tries* to go to that sort of site, it will be blocked.
Suffice it to say I believe that you can't find a better Enterprise anti-virus/anti-malware product for the money! -
"Best Enterprise Antivirus I've used"
Version: VIPRE Enterprise 3.1
Pros
- Small Footprint
- Fast Scan times
- Excellent Acurracy
- Easy Installation
- Easy Client Deployment
- Intuitive InterfaceCons
- While mostly easy, we did run into some deployment roadblocks
- Had some issues with SunBelts Unintallation for our out antivirus
- No Linux Client
- No Exchange PluginSummary
This is hands down the best enterprise class Antivirus we've used. We've been through Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, and the past 4 years eTrust. All have strengths and weaknesses, but all have left us looking for something else. It came down between Vipre and Sophos for us in our latest bid to find a Antivirus/Spyware endpoint solution. We were a bit skeptical of Vipre, and our decision came down to cost, but we are now very glad we chose Vipre. Aside from a few deployment issues, mainly with the uninstaller for eTrust, it had to be the easiest software from start to finish we have used. Not just for Antivirus, but of all the software we have deployed on a company wide scale.
The Admin console is clean and intuitive. The policies are easy to get running, yet flexible enough to meet our needs. Deployment worked as advertised, and let us remotely reboot the computers without having to use other software. The only issue we had is that the uninstaller for CA eTrust that SunBelt provided did not work on a handful of clients, and we had to manually uninstall eTrust.
I can't say enough about this product. It's simple, yet powerful. Easy yet complete. I really hope Sunbelt/GFI doesn't try overbloating this wonderful software. The only things I would like to see added is Exchange compatibility in the base product and a Linux Client. -
"I have used this software for about six months:"
Version: VIPRE Enterprise 3.1
Pros
It was recommend by an IT Pro friend, What I like most is it's invisible, and fast.
Cons
no complaints yet.
Summary
I would recommend this software to the average user (like me) even though it is built for business, and the price is great!

"I used this product, and Its spectacular!!."
Version: VIPRE Enterprise 3.1

Fast scanner,full protection, notify about dangerous sites, low use of system resources.
Cons
I can´t find none
Summary
Its very good product, your pc its 100 % safe whit it.

"Easy, inexpensive, thorough!"
Version: VIPRE Enterprise 3.1
Pros
Ease of use setting up auto-updates and auto-scans that are totally customizable.
Cons
Nothing. Really! I have used this for over a year and can find nothing I dislike.
Summary
I tried a few other products and this program does it for me. It's cheap enough for home use on multiple computers with a GUI that is easy to understand. I got tired of the bloat form another major AV program that bogged my computer down to a crawl, and another that couldn't find a bug with a hound dog and a million candle power flashlight. What can I say? It works!

"The ABSOLUTE BEST product of its kind... ANYWHERE"
Version: VIPRE Enterprise 3.1
Pros
Easy setup, deploy, management. Very low use of system resources
Cons
There are none
Summary
The management console makes deployment and client management extremely simple. The extremely low use of system resources allows you to deploy to client machines that are at the low end of the scale, without a drastic performance hit to an already tired machine. There are simply no downsides to this product; PERIOD.
