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

IFS Antivirus - covers all the bases
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.
- Very easy to use and set up to run regularly
- No alerts process for error or found viruses

Easy solution to a powerful threat
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!)
- 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
- I wish that the antivirus software covered the whole system and not just the IFS

Powertech Antivirus IBMi Review
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.
- 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
- 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

Powertech Antivirus
Software does what we want, but would not choose the software if I knew it was a re buy on a license transfer.
- The software is great
- Does what we need it to do
- The cost
- We purchased this software for an iSeries and than transferred the software license to a different iSeries because the original iSeries needed an upgrade
- We basically had to re-buy the software
- I deal with a number of third party software products and this is the only one where I had to re-buy the software
- Some others had a fee to transfer the license which I understand but a total re-buy seems exsessive

Powertech Standguard AV on my IBM i
Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad
- Powertech Antivirus works very well on my IBM i Power 7+
- Auto-Updates, scheduled system scans and real-time object AV works without any issues at all
- It's also very handy to use System i Navigator to access all Standguard functions, logs and settings
- Very little cons if any
- Can't think of any at the moment

Great Product great price
Feel more protected from virus attacks through the IFS. It's not perfect but works great.
- Ease of use
- Reliability of software
- The low cost of initial purchase and continuing maintenance
- Lack of reporting ability about what attacks have happened if any
