Automated protection and scheduled scans.

What differentiates Avast Business Security from other similar products?

Avast stands out because it provides more advanced detection for more complex threats that enter the device, it allows you to connect devices simultaneously to the Avast account and this helps you see the real-time status of the devices and if threats have been found. It offers a complete quarantine service where you can quickly store a threat.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like Avast's web protection, it allows you to browse safely at all times and this helps to block websites with untrusted credentials. I like Avast's scheduled scans and automatic scans, they run without you having to do it manually and this helps to keep your device protected. Virus database updates are performed automatically and almost daily, ensuring up-to-date protection.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The free trial version has many limitations, it does not allow you to remove threats, generate automatic and scheduled scans, and it does not allow you to use the web protection service. There are very few things that Avast's free trial is good for, I really recommend using its paid version to enjoy great benefits.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend linking all company devices, this way you will have a real-time status of device protection. I also recommend muting Avast update notifications, notifications tend to be a bit annoying when the database is being updated.

What differentiates Avast Business Security from other similar products?

Avast antivirus is one of the most important malware protection and detection tools in the world, since its foundation in 2001 this tool has facilitated data protection and equipment cleaning in a fast and easy way, there are pay versions that are accessible, but the free version will only need to be updated every time it requires it, this to keep the tool adapted to the new threats that are presented, or computer viruses.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like it because it is the one I have always used, it has a long list of recommendations and it is because many years ago it is the first in many places of the world in terms of detection of faults and viruses in the computer, I use it daily because it performs inspections on a daily basis, maintaining my precious instrument of work as it is my fully protected PC

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are a lot of versions and it's hard to know exactly what will best suit us, and it constantly requires updates that may take a little while, but I can say that it's the easiest and most efficient that there is.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This tool shows the flaws that are found on your computer automatically and gives you the respective suggestions so that you choose that you want to perform the tool.

Helps Innovate
