PowerTech Antivirus has value

Reviewed 5 years ago

Powertech Antivirus has identified objects containing viruses on our servers, that were quarantined to prevent access and allow source identification and removal.

Pros

Powertech Antivirus is straight forward to install. Virus definition updates can be obtained directly from HelpSystems for each server or loaded to a central server for testing and distribution to enterprise systems 'in network', reducing exposure to outside connections. Scanning settings allow custom choices including types of objects to scan and whether before and/or after is required.

Cons

It would be nice if there was a choice on how many versions of the log to retain. Currently the log is replaced each time the scan is run. I would like to see retention of 3-5 copies.

Vendor response

What a fantastically thorough review! We're so glad that you've found such success with Powertech Antivirus. We are grateful for our long term customers -- your feedback is what helps us make our solutions great! Your request for longer retention policies is certainly part of our roadmap -- stay tuned for future releases! Thanks for being part of the HelpSystems family!

Easy solution to a powerful threat

Reviewed 5 years ago

It's been all good. The sales support staff and technical support have been very easy to talk to. They ensured that I knew the capabilities of the software as well as what it was not capable of doing. Whenever I need help Help Systems tech support is always available. (Best technical support in the industry!)

Pros

Best: Ease of use. I am not the most technical person so ease of use was very important. I did a work through/demo and decided to buy the software. The re-install was easy, needed no help to do it. Also, software PTFs and antivirus table can be set to automatically update.

Cons

I wish that the antivirus software covered the whole system and not just the IFS.

Vendor response

What a terrific review! "Easy solution to a powerful threat" -- you may have come up with our new tagline! Usability is a top priority for Powertech Antivirus, and first rate technical support is the highest priority for HelpSystems, so we're thrilled that these efforts have paid off for you. Thanks for being part of the HelpSystems family!
