Avast is being used
in almost all of our departments which we fear can be under a virus attack and
can damage us massively. I am specifically using it in my marketing department to prevent attacks. Our firm uses cyberspace to keep every piece of
information safe and if that space comes under threat it can cause us massive
damage. It is one of the basic reasons to get Avast in our company and the
scanning speed and pricing makes it more suitable for us.
Pros
It keeps on working quietly in the background and it doesn’t interrupt our working.
We can monitor computers if there's any threat and it notifies us every time it detects any threat.
It is a very powerful tool against malware.
It scans millions of files within a fraction of seconds.
Cons
Installation is a bit tricky as well as is a slow process and consumes much time.
Reports should be improved with more nitty-gritty details
I can't think of any other flaw of Avast Business Antivirus.
Likelihood to Recommend
If a company is in
need of an anti-virus that would help them in saving their data against all
kinds of virus attacks then Avast is just a witty option. The utilization of
cyberspace is inevitable and it is necessary to make it secure and Avast is a
good option. There can be multiple powerful antivirus tools but the price of it
is highly suitable and is the cheapest among its competitors.

The systems [house] our confidential data and it provides us the capability to secure endpoints and effect all kinds of malfunctions and viruses.
Pros
Avast Business Antivirus is a very safe-to-use tool for online threats.
The background working of scanning throughout the day is just awesome.
Cons
We are a little bit disturbed by its time taking installation process.
It consumes a lot of space on the storage and sometimes slows the speed of the system.
Likelihood to Recommend
We would definitely like to recommend Avast Business Antivirus to any organization that is searching for an effective and advanced tool to work best against viruses, malware, or any kind of cyber-attacks. As we do understand the loss behind any cyber-attack or virus attack for any kind of organization. One of the very important reasons for recommending Avast Business antivirus is, it not only detects and removes the virus but also keeps a record and history of attacks for future protection.
We started using Avast Business Antivirus when we first moved our accounting systems over to internet enabled computers (yes, we were air-gapped). I had used the personal free edition on my home computers and as the IT administrator for our corporate group, I chose to use the business version for our office computers. It worked great and was very easy to setup and configure.
Pros
Notifications of issues
Easy installation
Managing installation in the cloud onsole
Monitoring computers
Cons
The need to reboot sometimes seems excessive
Likelihood to Recommend
I think Avast Business Antivirus is well suited for small to medium sized businesses where IT administration is more hands on. Though it may be possible, I've not found a way to be able to push out the program to new computers automatically and typically have had to manually install the program. The notifications of issue is really great and resolving issues in the cloud console is intuitive and easy.
Avast Business Antivirus has been our go to software when it comes to protecting our computer systems and files against malicious attacks from virus, malware, and other online threats. The software is deployed across all departments and it has proved to be very effective over time. It is easy to use and most importantly, it is non obtrusive (it never disrupts other running software). It is the best I have used so far.
Pros

It is a light software that never lags
It is non obtrusive
It is quick to detect, screen and report attacks.
It receives updates regularly and this keeps the software ready to handle all manner of attacks

Avast Business Antivirus is not used within my company. I implemented four installations for small and medium businesses with great success. I still maintain two of them.
Pros
Easy to use
Clean modern interface
Non-intrusive
Easy to maintain
Cons
Resource heavy
No per-user license model
Likelihood to Recommend
I have been using Avast Free Antivirus for ages--at least 10+ years. A lot of people are well adapted to Avast interfaces and UX design. The switch to Avast Business Antivirus was very easy for me because I do not have to educate end-users. The licensing model is bit stiff, but the price is good (at the moment it's €13 per user for up to 10 devices). Avast advertises heavy Windows+Android solutions that many customers find attractive and best suited for their needs. What is lacking is a better license model. There is no per-user license plan in the Avast portfolio for small and medium companies. When you buy, you have to plan well in advance. Also Avast became, in the last few years, a very resource-heavy solution compared to the other solutions. I still recommend it, but it would be nice if there were a per-user license option, at least as an add-on for SMB licenses.
Avast has been a really good supporter in providing me and my whole organization an ultimate protection in each and every case without any difficulty. I found it to be a huge supporter in maintaining the heavy workload on daily basis. I also like the deep scanning feature of this particular application that totally identifies each and every type of malware and spyware as well.
Pros
I really appreciate this particular product because of its large range of features that helps in the proper security of the system and devices as well.
I love the way in which it helps in providing a home network security that helps me in doing daily tasks efficiently.
It helps me by providing a new variety of features in each and every update that doesn’t consume more time and hard work.
Cons
This application is providing me a lot of benefits with its beautiful interface that is quite simple and well understanding for providing a variety of features for my daily work process.
I am having all positive experiences with it as it is helping me out in different ways to prevent any anti-theft features for my databases.
For me, there is nothing to worry about in this particular application and also it’s a great initiator.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would love to suggest this application to different companies regardless of their sizes and resources as well. Apart from this, it provides me a huge comfort from its mobile application which is enough handy to be used even while sitting at home. So, for me, it’s an incredible product in terms of security and protection.

When comparing with other antivirus software available on the market, Avast did not slow down my PC like some of its competitors. It protects your PC from malicious programs during internet browsing. Avast is well-suited for any organization or even just for personal usage.
