RAV Endpoint Protection Reviews

At first glance, RAV Endpoint Protection didn’t seem to include as many features as its competitors, but this illusion immediately dissolved when we delved deeper into the software.

The service’s main app provides comprehensive scans of your computer and Chromium-based browsers and checks for data breaches. Its interface is clean and attractive, making it a breeze to navigate.

It has a fixed sidebar offering access to status, scans, protection, and settings. The status tab provides an overview of your PC’s health, while the scans section lets you search for any threats hiding in your machine and allows users to dictate scan patterns. RAV instantly flagged our malware test file and notified us with a pop-up.

Additional security tools can be found under the protection tab, and the settings let you fine-tune how to be protected. It also includes a ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode, an advanced file detector, and real-time protection against malware and malicious activity.

Signing up for RAV Elite also provides access to RAV VPN, SafePass, Safer Web, and a security browser extension. It would be better if everything were accessible via the main app, but to use tools such as the VPN and password manager, you need to install them separately.

Still, the level of customization is remarkable, especially with Safer Web. Plus, the intelligent software constantly learns from the behavior of your device to defend against the newest cyberthreats and malware.

With RAV Endpoint Protection, users can launch their first quick scan right after installation. Our test scanned 35,628 files in 1 minute and 20 seconds with just an initial spike in CPU usage. Still, this isn’t a dealbreaker as this was just a few seconds, and the rest of the scan went smoothly without affecting performance.

RAV provides other scanning options, such as a deep scan that thoroughly inspects your computer and a custom one that lets you select a specific drive or folder to scan.

Users can also customize how they want the antivirus to behave. It’s possible to enable options like real-time protection that actively scans new or recently opened files and automatically sends any potential high-risk threats to quarantine.

RAV Endpoint Protection’s advanced settings include two options: broad Detection and Trust Level. Broad detection is an advanced file detector that actively blocks suspicious files, whereas trust level allows you to choose between standard security measures or strict protection, which bars any unsigned files.

RAV Endpoint Protection is so much more than just an antivirus. Additional features that prove why this is a true-blue internet security suite include:

• Camera and microphone protection: This handy feature prevents unauthorized access to your webcam or microphone, letting you choose between four access level options.
• Safer Web: Comprehensive and thorough, this DNS filter tool is packed with numerous security, privacy, and family protection features, such as a stellar safe search mode that filters explicit results.
• VPN/Wi-Fi protection: With over 80 servers in 53 countries, the RAV VPN works with the best encryption protocols on the market: WireGuard, IKEv2, and OpenVPN.
• SafePass: This iOS and web app password manager lets users easily save passwords, payment information, address cards, and more. Unfortunately, users must register a new account to use this feature.
• Online security browser protection: This Chrome and Edge extension protects users while they navigate the internet, including a dark web monitoring feature to check for data breaches.

While the interface of the apps is reassuringly consistent across devices, making switching between them easy, RAV Endpoint Protection doesn’t excel in device compatibility, especially compared to its competitors.

Its main application is only available for Windows, and the VPN and Safer Web are only compatible with Windows and Android. The minimum requirement for the Windows versions is Windows 10+. On Android, you need at least 5.0 to run the VPN and 8.0 for Safer Web.

RAV also provides an online security browser extension, although only for Chromium-based browsers, such as Chrome, Edge, and Brave. It includes identity protection, a website manager, a download scanner, and a cookie and tracker blocker. Despite all the offered protection, some features like detailed breach data reports require users to pay an additional monthly rate.

RAV Endpoint Protection’s pricing is straightforward, starting with Premium for one device at $4.90 per month on a monthly billing cycle. However, Premium is a reduced version of RAV’s potential and doesn’t include many of the valuable perks, such as VPN protection and malicious website blocking.

To acquire everything RAV offers, users need to turn to RAV Elite, which costs $8.90 with a monthly plan.

Users needing to cover numerous devices can opt for the RAV Family plan, which includes all the Elite features but for five devices. This package can also be subscribed to for $1.38 per device per month with a yearly billing cycle.

RAV Endpoint Protection provides a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing users to test the software without committing. ReasonLabs will refund you the value of the subscription minus any taxes, shipping costs, or handling fees unless you reside in certain states or countries where these are refundable. The company accepts payment through Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal.

RAV Endpoint Protection’s website has plenty of helpful resources, such as a FAQ section, glossary, cybersecurity reports, and blog posts on relevant topics. It also has a chat icon on all its pages, although with no live agent. It works like its contact form via email, making it faster to ask for help.

Customer support is available on workdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (GMT). Despite not being available on weekends, its response times are decent. After asking for help, we got a reply in just a couple of hours.

RAV also has a YouTube channel packed with plenty of video tutorials, a Facebook page, an X account with the latest news, as well as an official LinkedIn account.

Despite falling short with device compatibility and not providing a free version, all apps are beautifully designed, and navigating them quickly becomes second nature. All-encompassing RAV Elite’s price isn’t far-fetched, especially considering its wide array of features and functionality.

With remarkable extended protection, light CPU consumption, and a 30-day money-back guarantee, RAV Endpoint Protection has clearly earned its reputation as one of the best choices for internet security suites.
