Case Study: Merit Technologies achieves streamlined, low‑footprint endpoint security and faster threat response with VIPRE

Partner Embraces VIPRE for Small Footprint, Ease of Management

Merit Technologies, a Greenville, SC MSP serving SMBs and larger enterprises, needed reliable endpoint protection with a small footprint, easy central management and built-in patch management to avoid bloated AV tools that slowed clients’ systems and complicated administration. After testing options, Merit selected VIPRE’s endpoint protection for its lightweight agents, remote management console and integrated patching.

VIPRE was rolled out as Merit’s standard AV platform (about 85% customer migration), using remote agents and policy templates to manage updates and protect mobile users. The switch reduced resource impact, freed IT admin time, and produced real‑time alerts that stop email-borne threats and potential ransomware; Merit reports fewer security incidents and improved customer security posture. VIPRE’s strong third‑party results—100% blocking and zero false positives in AV‑Comparatives testing—underscored the measurable protection gains.
