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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
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 way it check for threats.
  • Threat Removal.
  • Scanning for the viruses.
  • Smooth Working.
  • It is powerful against all kinds of Viruses.
  • Our system files and business data are quite secure.
  • It takes us almost no time in scanning the bulk of files.
  • Malware and other viruses are no longer a threat to us.
First of all, Norton was a much pricier tool and it was like self-sabotage for us. And if I'll compare it with Avast then Avast is the best option. Second of all, Norton was quite heavy for some of our systems of various departments. And we needed a single tool that we can implement in all of our departments and Norton was unfortunately not what we were looking for.

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.
  • Easy to use
  • Clean modern interface
  • Non-intrusive
  • Easy to maintain
  • Resource heavy
  • No per-user license model
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.
  • Protects phones and PCs from viruses
  • Makes my admin job way easier
For up to 10 users, Avast Antivirus is best suited for SMB. The well known interface for home users makes the switch to Avast Business Antivirus seamless. I ran a few virus detection scenarios and found that basically all antiviruses out there work as advertised. Known viruses are detected and quarantined. The most frequently used vector of attack is USB drives. A lot of Avast Business Antivirus users tend to use Avast Free and Premium solutions when experiencing SMB version. I would not recommend using Avast Business Antivirus on a PC without at least 8GB of ram or a Phone without at least 4GB. Fast (ssd) disk is good option and at least i3/ryzen 3 CPU.

  • It helps me in running multiple devices at the same time and also ensures that each and every device of my concern get the best security to ensure that all the working is safe enough.
  • This superb product is a huge supporter in providing me proper information about the condition.
I have used Kaspersky Endpoint Security software but after using Avast Business Antivirus then I came to know it provides incredibly excellent performance. Also it is available at a very reasonable price. Apart from this notification system of this particular application is enough useful that totally supports me by notifying about the updates in its features.
I gave this rating because after using this fantastic product. Everything is under my control and also all my databases are secure enough and also quite convenient to be managed. Thus, it’s a really good application in each and every regard that totally supports me in the best way.

As technical lead and a leading startup WonderBi Analytics, it's important to have secured system. We were using Avast Business Antivirus as a primary anti-virus software for all the systems across all departments It solves the major problem of a virus, malware. All systems which are assigned by our organization, as well as employees who use their own systems, gets installed with Avast Business Antivirus.
  • Easy to use interface and very intutive
  • Its really light on system compare to other antivirus available in market
  • Runs in background
  • There are too many features which many us don't need
  • Important features vpn etc are need to buy seperately
  • Pricing is little higher compared to others
If you have a team which is working remotely or users can use their own device then Avast Business Antivirus can really work really well. It won't help if users using smartphones rather than using laptops or desktop as avast don't have good smartphone antivirus.
  • It reduced number occurrance of virus and malware attacks
  • It definetly helps to show your customers that data is got protected by anitvirus which builds trust
All mentioned Avast Business Antivirus is good at the core of protecting from a virus. But one of the major issue each of them is that they are heavy on the system and really slow down system usage. We selected avast for as it is easy to use and light on the system and also an aging multiple is also much simpler compared to another antivirus.
