Compare SpyHunter и ZVNcloud

Benefits:

It scans daily and removes all ads and malware... I especially like that it removes the pesky PHP invaders. Those are harder to remove.

Drawbacks:

It sometimes pops up when I don't want it to "scan". I'm just learning how to live with it and use settings.

Summary:

They wanted to charge me and I tried to leave the site. Up popped a "special" amount. I couldn't resist it.

It is good software. It found stuff that my regular anti-virus software didn't BUT none of these things was actually a big problem. Mostly cookies, adware, and stuff like that. There are several nice and slick things about it.

Drawbacks:

You can't scan a file individually. I was very surprised about this fact. I contacted support and they confirmed it. I am not willing to scan an entire partition in order to find out if a 5MB file is suspicious or not. Not sure why they didn't figure this would be an extremely useful feature but they didn't add it. I can easily do it with my main anti-virus suite. The price is high for what it offers. I decided to try it and see if there's anything fishy on my PC. There wasn't. Doesn't make sense to pay for 2 anti-virus systems or have them take up valuable PC resources.

Summary:

Overall it was good. The software works. It is not very demanding on the PC. Finds things that other anti-virus systems don't.

Benefits:

Nothing. It wrecked my laptop.. luck I didn't install it on other computers...

My computer doesn't boot to windows anymore brings me to the bios screen... got me a blue screen of death after installing and running... I highly recommend not installing this software...

What I like the most about this software is an easy way to eliminate any malware that I currently get on my computer, and is always on my Deskbar ready to use.

Drawbacks:

Sometimes misses some malware on my computer and I feel there is not full-time protection.

Summary:

Overall I recommend SpyHunter for my friends and family, I am having a good experience with this software I will keep it on my device for a long time.

It's relatively easy to use. I say "relatively" in that the UX is not particularly good but our main criterion for using it is that we can get senior developers to use it when deploying application updates across clusters rather than putting the burden on systems staff.

Drawbacks:

It's overpriced, buggy and not particularly well engineered. The APIs are poorly constructed and do not scale well when monitored.

We had previously used a number of entirely systems-based load balancing systems and it was proving difficult to manage and coordinate application updates for clients. We needed something that would have some sort of management interface to reduce the possibility of errors and to make it more accessible to other team members. We'd tried the community version and while it was far from perfect did at least arrange things in a reasonably logical manner. The cost of the application was excessive but as the developers are clearly a small company this would be more favourable than a larger company for whom we'd be way down their list of priorities. To our horror, when we were approached after purchasing several licenses for the product if we had any questions, we asked about a migration path from the community version. They immediately refused and said they would only be able to help if we bought a separate support contract. They have made the business practises very clear. We won't be giving them any more money and at some point when a better product materialises, we'll go for that. For now we are using the product and manually fixing issues within their code (which is mostly Perl-based). This is still better than managing it all by hand, but far from ideal given how much we've paid for what is supposed to be an enterprise solution. Our advice would be to think extremely carefully before committing any budget to this.
