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.

Alternatives Considered
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.

I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer. Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably. In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
