Avira Prime

Describe how Avira Prime stacks up against them and why you selected Avira Prime.

Cyclance was a sluggish tool and didn't work well according to our business needs and demands. We had high expectations with Cyclance which it failed to fulfill. The scanning engine and the efficiency of detecting and removing threats are weak as compared to Avira. Avira is the absolute antivirus tool we have used so far.

Bitdefender Antivirus - another product that I have used for a number of years.

Avira has some big advantages over other AV products on the market today. One of the big advantages is that in most AV tests of AV products, Avira most often scores at the very top of the list, for both performance and detection rates in discovering viruses/malware. Another big advantage that Avira, compared to some other big-name AV products out there, is that Avira tends to use little system resources when installed/running on a client machine. This is an important aspect when choosing an AV product.

AVG (not this version) I tried it before arriving at Avira, but I had the problems of constant infections and that while analyzing the hard disk my laptop was getting slow, something that never happened to m before. I even used Avira on an older PC and it has worked well and runs very well, that's why I stayed with Avira and set aside all other antivirus.

F-Secure despite being a good antivirus when it comes to protecting home equipment does not act the same for business protection because its performance is much lower as well as its ease of use while Avira meets these requirements and its protection is much more complete and efficient, since not only acts against common threats but it is also optimal to protect against advanced threats and the one that works in real time makes the virus detection rate much more efficient before any other antivirus, that is why It is ideal for the protection of business teams.

A few years ago when I started my search for the right antivirus, I used AVG, and I must say that it is quite good. It works impeccably, its analysis process is quite fast, its update system is the same as that of Avira, its technical support is quick to respond, among other good things that are practically the same as Avira Antivirus. But finally what made me decide with Avira, was its lower use of resources. I can continue using my laptop without any problems with freezing while I analyze my hard drive. With AVG, that action was not always possible.

I have used these two and others, but compared to ESET, I think that Avira has a better performance and offers greater protection against viruses and malicious software. Compared to Kaspersky, Avira is not at the same level of analysis and protection, and Kaspersky is much better, but nevertheless, Avira occupies much less resources than the other antivirus, so it can be used by a larger number of users that do not have such a powerful computer.

Its main rival in the antivirus market is Avast, and despite this in recent tests, the latter proved to be a bit inferior to the Avira Antivirus in some aspects such as heuristics, resource consumption and a high detection capacity of rootkits and trojans.

ESET and Avast are quite good, but Avira gives me more security because I have had fewer errors in file analysis, and I have detected several files that have tried to download without my authorization.
