Here Is How Much I Love VIPRE for AV
-
BB is Best Buy. Before I started pressing people to buy business class machines I would assist people in picking machines from time to time... Best Buy would push Webroot like crazy. To me that was a sign that this product was pretty unworthy. Though I will admit I didn't like them solely because they were in Best Buy, a place that is rarely known for carrying quality software/hardware (major name bands being the exception).

@Dashrender Agreed. Staples was a big Norton360 fan and still is. That's what I was taught to push until I learned about, well, you know, REAL IT. Last I knew, BB pushes Kaspersky harder than ANYTHING. That may have changed. BB stands for something else as far as I'm concerned. Biggest <insert word here>. I'll let you figure it out.

Webroot? What's that?
So about the Best Buy pushing; I want you to know we didn't pay for that exposure. The Geek Squad loves our product and uses it as part of their remediation toolkit, and that lead to the company feeling it to be a valuable product to push. Now, with it being Best Buy, I can understand the hesitation and don't blame anyone for it.
Okay, now that the Webroot'ness is out, we can carry on. I'm happy to read @dashrender is slowly coming to the green side.

@Dashrender maybe the fact that I work for them now can counteract that

I used Panda a little a decade ago. Was never that impressed.
But I liked how it said "Pahndah anteevirus"

Has Symantec even moved to offering a cloud solution or is SEP still all local only? I known Verizon uses SEP and Cisco systems for phone. I guess they just like wasting money...
We've actually been in the cloud for a couple of years. More info is here While we did recently EOL BackupExec.cloud, SEP & Enterprise Vault are still very strong in the cloud. Happy to get you connected with folks from that side if you have questions.

Stumbled on this, remember when Vipre was a thing? Boy have things changed a lot in the last few years.
