Avast Small Business Cybersecurity Solutions vs. Carbon Black Endpoint

Avast Business is great to keep your business secure of virus/threads, is easy to install and use. I recommend digging around the options menu in order to get the best setup for your business. You should use the 30-day trial first in order to see if Avast Business Antivirus works well and fits your company needs.

Cb Defense works great to protect systems from known and unknown malware. It is simple to deploy and manage. You might run into some issues if you run a lot of unsigned applications or scripts in your IT environment. If that is the case, you can whitelist certain paths for your scripts to run. You can whitelist the individual applications and certs if you have them.

• We have only needed support on a couple occasions (which is a positive), but they weren't able to really resolve either issue.
• This brings me to my second con, which is that we have only used three sensor packages (the installed client) and have had issues crop up with two out of three.

I gave this rating because after using this fantastic product. Everything is under my control and also all my databases are secure enough and also quite convenient to be managed. Thus, it’s a really good application in each and every regard that totally supports me in the best way.

Overall the support that we have received from Carbon Black has been a very positive experience. This was especially true when we were in the evaluation (POC) period and needed them to meet with us on a frequent basis. Additionally when we have had technical questions regarding deployment via SCCM, we were able to find the answers we needed by contacting their Support team.

First of all, Norton was a much pricier tool and it was like
self-sabotage for us. And if I'll compare it with Avast then Avast is the best
option. Second of all, Norton was quite heavy for some of our systems of
various departments. And we needed a single tool that we can implement in all
of our departments and Norton was unfortunately not what we were looking for.

We evaluated 3 other competitors and determined that Cb Defense was the best "bang for the buck" when it comes to Next-Generation Anti Virus. Their support (and sales) teams have been very helpful and offered a tremendous level of transparency. Our sales representative went above and beyond to work with us on making sure that the pricing fit in our budget. One of the other competitors that we reached out to never even contacted us back so they were immediately eliminated as a possible AV solution.

• We pay about $20/endpoint/year which includes servers and all other devices plus the remote access and cloud portal management. For a Pro class service that's peanuts.
• As stated, I haven't had anything slip through, though I can say that we are super careful to not let anything through. Could be either, but I feel safer as an IT person that Avast is in place.
• The solution is priced right, runs well, is cloud-based and makes for very low management. Can't complain about it at all.

• It actually stooped a memory scraper from stealing credit card data from our POS system. The casino was bought from awhile back, so coming into this place 4 years ago, we had a flat network. Not good with POS System. Well, a memory scraper was released (employee downloaded a game) and Cb Defense just killed it... This was before a live response, so we pulled the system from the network.
• I can't really say anything negative, at least from an ROI point of view.
