Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
It's well suited for any Windows environment. It doesn't slow the PC down and it's very effective at what it does.

We had a medium size fleet of macbook pros that we had deployed and had parallels already installed on them. We looked into a way to standardize and track these devices and started looking into Parallels as a solution to help us with this. Parallels was a good fit due to the fact that most of these machines already had the base system already installed

  • It can be a bit difficult with a large fleet of computers
  • Can be a bit hard to troubleshoot if there are issues
  • There are other tools that are cheaper that do the same thing albeit not as well

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.

We looked at a product called virtual box to do something similar to what we saw from Parallels but it was much more manual for us to deploy out the tool and we would have had to do a lot more work to manage all the systems we have in the fleet

Return on Investment
Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
  • 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.
