Just completed a 300+ workstation roll out of viper and have had good luck with it compared to the Symantec Corporate that was in place. Very happy with it so far.

cool, and you are monitoring it from a server etc? hows the support? do they speak english? thats kind of a biggie for me. i was over at their forums poking around and there seem to be few problems and fast friendly help for those that do have problems.

any virtual servers?

We've got Vipre and Kaspersky in place at several of our clients. Kaspersky support is fairly rude but efficient. Unfortunately I can't say good things about the product as you have to tweak it immediately after installation (turn off self protection) to have a usable system. And yes that's what Kaspersky's support tells you to do too. I do like their management kit though, it is pretty easy to use. I don't really have too much I can say about Vipre, though the weird thing I've seen about it is we deployed it at one site and later on some of the machines that were acting weird we found to still have Trend Micro still on them. It just wouldn't show up in add/remove or the task bar until we uninstalled Vipre. But I haven't worked with it too much myself yet so I don't know how good the management tools are.

We are a Managed Services Provider and the company we do IT for didnt want to have Kaspersky, they didnt want to hand over their AV system and money over to the Russians!!!

We run SEP11 which isnt upto scratch but what do you do...

We started using Vipre over McAfee Total Protection because the Sunbelt product (now GFI) is way less expensive and the scan and clean results are nearly identical.

I've been using Vipre here for a few months now and the few times I've had to deal with their support dept have been great experiences. The major thing I've run into have been false positives (they blocked akamai.net which a lot of companies use for image hosting). Reported it that morning, and the next definition update that afternoon had it fixed.

We got a fantastic deal on it too, but that may be due to us ordering it right at the end of 2010. We got 4 years of Vipre for what we paid for 1 year of SEP, AND they tossed in a home license of Vipre for our employees when I mentioned that some of their competitors were doing the same.
