## Reviews

### "PowerTech Antivirus has value" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *25 January 2019* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Powertech Antivirus has identified objects containing viruses on our servers, that were quarantined to prevent access and allow source identification and removal.

### "A Powerful and Affordable Threta Protection Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Stefano** | *23 September 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the threat intelligence capabilities.&#10;Powertech Antivirus comes affordable and keeps our business systems secure.
> 
> **Cons**: It is all rosy with Powertech Antivirus. No issues.

### "IFS Antivirus - covers all the bases" — 3.0/5

> **chris** | *22 January 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to use and set up to run regularly
> 
> **Cons**: No alerts process for error or found viruses
> 
> Easy to use and has the required functionality. Auto updates the latest virus definitions - essentially you can set it up and just let it run.

### "Easy solution to a powerful threat" — 5.0/5

> **Suzanne** | *24 January 2019* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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\!)

### "Powertech Antivirus IBMi Review" — 4.0/5

> **Andrew** | *25 January 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have a small staff and could not afford a bunch of extra time managing an antivirus. After initial setup PowerTech Antivirus  is pretty much hands off.  It will pull in updates when you scheduled it and it will scan the IFS when you scheduled it.
> 
> **Cons**: After initial setup PowerTech Antivirus is pretty much hands off.  I have to go see if it is active.  Would be nice if it proactively told me what it finds and if it is active.
> 
> I have a piece of mind that the IFS is not infected, and the shared drives are not being used to proliferate viruses throughout my network.
