What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite part of the product is how easy it is to setup and check to see if everything is running smoothly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about the product is that it is hard to trust Avast since for me I have always know it as a free anti-virus that would slow your computer down.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would think about how many computers you need this for. If you only have a small number of computers, then this is fine. If you are large business, you may need to look else for a different provider.

What differentiates Avast Business Security from other similar products?

Avast Business Security is one of the best endpoint protection products. The interface is clear and its management is quite simple. You can set up rules for even easier management. The first time I set it up, I wasn't even sure if it was running, but once the installation was complete, everything was in place and ready to go. The licensing flexibility was great too.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

it's easy to use and comes with the best features to fight all sorts of online threats including malware, and viruses, and it's also an excellent firewall. The software receives regular updates, and it helps to deal with any new threats. We use Avast to protect against viruses, spam, and other minor protections.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It would be nice if there was a bit more documentation available for setup and maintenance. You can usually figure out what you need to do, but sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge to find where to set something up.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you need functional endpoint protection software, I would recommend Avast Business Security as I have used it for many years and it has proven to be very effective. However, if you are on a budget, you may want to consider cheaper options as it is not the most affordable. Avast is a very powerful anti-malware tool. It still works quietly in the background and does not interfere with your work. It scans millions of files in a fraction of a second.
