    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.

    It works great if you want to run an application as an admin. We did find out that it will not work, or at least we cannot get it to work for users that need to change the IP address on their endpoint to connect to a traffic light. So far those users are still admins until we can figure it out

    Cons
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • Alerts - these are handy for sure, but some alerts, when turned on, can flood your Inbox. I'd like to see a more granular approach that sets limits on how many times an alert will be delivered.
    • Fingerprint access on the mobile app would be awesome.
    • Aside from that, some of the menu paths are not straightforward. Like the install client creation can only be done from the dashboard (to my knowledge) when it should be done from the policy and/or device pages. Make the interface a little more intuitive.

    • The agent on the endpoint will sometimes fail to install or it will get corrupted. Nothing in the console that we can find tells us that there is an issue
    • Create an agent that also works with the other products that you sell. If we have more than one product there is a chance that it may not work
    • I really do not have a 3rd. This is a really good product

    Extremely easy to use. Once we had a good idea of how it worked we had it up and running in about 2 weeks. It did take us nearly 9 months to get it installed and fully operational on all users endpoints that needed it. My admin on the team that runs the software loves it.

    We once had an experience of using the AVG AntiVirus Business Edition for eight months and we experienced something surprising that it was not effective and active much as the prices were also too low as compared to Avast Business Antivirus. In short, to explain, Avast Business Antivirus is just [an] amazing antivirus and is working well enough with our organization to protect our systems. From our side, Avast is the best antivirus platform to experience by any organization.

    ME has many more applications that are in the database that will work. The cost was also much cheaper that is until we confronted the other vendor about us finding another product. At that point it was too late. We own other ME products and have found success in all of them

    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • With Avast Business Antivirus, we can focus on other things and not worry about virus and malware attacks
    • The cost of deploying Avast Business Antivirus is low compared to what we can spend in the event of a malware or virus attack
    • While it is not the cheapest option, it is worth the cost considering the level of protection and all the features that it offers.

    • This product will help us better secure our environment. That alone is a huge cost savings
    • We have allowed users that were admins to still be able to install some software on their endpoints without having admin rights on the whole endpoint
    • This product has woke up some in the department to look for applications that do not require admin rights.
