Pros

Constantly alert security in the background, monitors against the threat of malware, phishing, ransomware, more advanced cyberattacks and notifies every time it detects any threat

A profoundly effective software against viruses attacks.

November 15, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Avast Business Antivirus is being installed by our organization and wherever it is installed, [it] has targeted all those systems that were on the server or on a chance of getting any cybercrime or attack. 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.

Small Business protection for a small price

September 13, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Avast Business Antivirus tool is deployed in our organization almost everywhere. We installed this tool and targeted all those computers that were on the verge of any cyber attack and had our private information. It provides great security on endpoints and is effective against all kinds of viruses like malware and other viruses. Its working doesn’t interrupt our company’s workload. I just want it to take less time in installation and the update issue must be resolved.

Pros

Avast is a safe tool and provides real-time security against malware.
It keeps on scanning our systems and works smoothly in the background.
Its strength lies in its interface that is quite clear.

Cons

Its installation takes a lot of time which is annoying.
Its subscription rate is beyond our expectations.

Likelihood to Recommend

This tool is suitable for all sizes of companies from small to large and has the capacity to detect all kinds of threats. Even the files that seem anonymous to this tool are under suspicion and it keeps on scanning and provides us entire protection on endpoints. This malware protection software is magnificent in its working. I like the way it keeps on scanning files and detects viruses and malware, and provides protection on endpoints.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Avast is a wonderful antivirus software and it is installed in all of our important systems with all the important business-related files. It is excellent in protecting our company’s systems and helps prevent malicious viruses that can cause much harm. The most important thing about this tool is that it keeps detecting and scanning at the back smoothly.

Pros

It has wonderful working capabilities.
Its password management feature is quite marvelous.
It never interrupts the normal working of our systems.
It scans and removes viruses at a faster speed.

Cons

[I feel] its subscription charges are unfair.
Its installation speed is very slow [in my experience].
[I believe] its notification feature needs to be more advanced and needs improvement.

Likelihood to Recommend

Malware and viruses can be much harmful to a system and I am using this tool for quite a long time and have found it quite effective against malware and all other kinds of viruses. It has a password management feature that is very beneficial in providing protection. And it is good for all sizes of organizations as it has the capacity to manage stuff.

Best antivirus for up to 10 users

January 2, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.
