It's well suited for any Windows environment. It doesn't slow the PC down and it's very effective at what it does.

Avast CloudCare is less of a memory hog than several other vendors like Norton or Trend. The ease of deployment for 1 or 100 computers is so simple and straightforward.

  • Positive: we have our customers supported better than ever
  • Negative: But not really, we have lost billable time due to our customers having [fewer] virus infections than ever before.
  • We had one incident where we had to credit a customer because the backup failed and did not report correctly and the customer lost some data.
