Avira is installed in our store for almost a year and it is working so well in protecting our system from any viruses. The data we have related to our business is stored in the protection of Avira and no virus can dare to enter our system and disturb and hack our files.
- Its scanning engine is advanced and doesn't consume much time in scanning.
- It is a highly effective tool against spam.
- All features work perfectly.
- Its interface is hard for beginners.
- Its backup module needs improvement and advancement.
- There should be a system to block pop-ups and ads permanently.
- the way it prevents future invasion of viruses.
- Its scanning engine is its biggest plus.
- The removal of viruses.
- The positive impact is that we feel secure.
- It protects against viruses and spam.
- No negative impact.
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.

Really good perfoming AV product that is at the top of its game
It is not being used across the whole organization. It is more on an individual basis. It address the business problem of having a AV solution that is easy/intuitive to use, along with having one that doesn't use a whole lot of system resources to install or when running on a client computer. Also, it addresses the problem of finding a good AV solution that is lower in licensing costs. Lastly, it is really good for organizations that need a solid solution in terms of virus detection, as Avira is one of the higher-rated ones on the market today.
- One thing it does well is it doesn't use a whole lot of system resources to run. Users should not experience slowdowns on their systems while Avira is running.
- A second thing it does well is the scanning engine works particularly well, meaning in terms of performance, along with not taking very long for scans to run on a client system.
- One area of improvement can be in improving virus detection rates, even though it is rated really high in AV tests, there is always room for improvement to compete with others in the industry.
- Another area of improvement can be in minimizing pop-ups/ads when running the software. This was more problematic historically especially in the free versions of the software, but could really be minimized in all versions.
- An improvement can be made in the marketing of the product to be focused more on industry/organization use since historically this product is well-known for being a good consumer-grade AV product.
- One positive impact it has had was on the great job it has done at both preventing and removing viruses/malware. Since it has done really well in AV tests for the performance of the software and also at detection of malware, this has helped end-users to keep productive on their daily tasks, without being worried about getting viruses/malware on their machines.
- Another positive impact is that it doesn't use a whole lot of system resources once installed on a client's machine, which in turn helps users productivity to be able to get work done, without being worried about slowdowns, etc.

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.

A lightweight antivirus, but totally effective.

Where to start? ... I have used Avira Antivirus on my personal laptop for about four or five years. I started using it because at that time I used another antivirus and its operation was not the most optimal since every so often I infected my laptop with viruses, trojans or spyware ... (I know that much of that is my fault because at that time I was downloading programs from any site and I was not careful). Due to these constant infections, I decided to look in the forums for some recommendations for antivirus and in a casual way (after using several different antiviruses), I reached Avira Antivirus. The truth is that my decision to stay with Avira Antivirus has not disappointed me. From that moment, I do not remember having any new infections. It works much better than my previous antivirus because whenever it is faced with a malicious file, it warns me and gives me the option of ignoring or deleting the file, which is great.
- In my case, it detects the vast majority of malicious files. It also gives you the option to choose what to do with them (delete or ignore).
- It uses few resources, so it can be installed on almost any computer.
- It has constant updates, so make sure you have the latest patch to prevent infections of new malicious elements.
- It is multiplatform, so you can use it on different devices. I have used it both on Windows and Android.
- Sometimes the antivirus takes time to start once the laptop is turned on, which makes me wonder if it is working correctly or not.
- I have read about several problems regarding uninstalling Avira Antivirus from Windows, which sounds like it can be quite tedious.
- I have also read that, unfortunately, for being a light antivirus, it cannot properly handle the most dangerous viruses and trojans on the web, but luckily, so far I have not had any problems. In addition, a large number of infections are due to the browsing and downloading habits of users.
- as a positive impact I can point out that since I use Avira I have not had to format my laptop again due to infections that delete files or that hijack data (like the police virus, for which I lost a lot of information accumulated over years).
- In addition I have not had to renew my laptop in search of one with higher features to install a good antivurus, and comment before, Avira to use few resources can be installed on almost any computer.
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.

The best antivirus in my opinion (without a doubt)!
I use Avira Antivirus on my personal computer. With its updated version for 2018, Avira Antivirus maintains the same effectiveness as always against malware, but also, thanks to its improved protection technology in the cloud, it gains speed in detecting threats and vulnerabilities that can endanger the security of any PC or Mac. All this, with a minimum percentage of false alarms. To deal with the most frequent problems of identity theft, Avira Antivirus has several tools that serve both to protect against attacks by hackers, as well as to make purchases and banking operations on the Internet in a secure manner.
In addition to its protective shield against malware (also adware and spyware) when we surf the Internet, and the analysis of programs and documents on our hard drive, Avira Antivirus provides useful add-ons to malicious codes, such as Email Protection, which analyzes incoming e-mails in search of infected attachments and links; a special system that repairs the damages that some virus, Trojan... can produce; or the so-called Self-defense, a reinforcement that prevents malicious software from altering or disabling antivirus protection.

- It detects adware (sometimes you just need some ease of advertisement) and phishing.
- It has Webguard, that allows us to block access to malicious websites.
- It scans email (POP3 and SMTP), an everyday tool I personally use.
- It has Bootable RescueCD, wich helps to remove malware and system recoveries.
- It has a very high detection rate and a very fast scanning engine.
- It has a tendency to detect many false positives.
- It has a very basic backup module.
- Its interface is not much attractive.
- It allows to create groups of computers and delegate antivirus policies to each group.
- It allows generating a report of found viruses.
- You can download updates via the Internet and send them to customers, improving the efficiency of your network.
- It provides an antispam module that serves to protect servers against unwanted mail.
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.
