An Outstanding and Unique Antivirus
Avast Business Antivirus has the most developed security checkup that is very remarkable. Its features like the scanning process of my PC or the threat alert are very significant. Also, it acquires less space on my computer.
Pros
The protection that Avast Business Antivirus provides is flawless. Moreover, I can work on my computer freely as Avast Business Antivirus always warns me whenever any damaging threats could impair my PC.
Cons
The significant struggle I confronted with Avast Business Antivirus is its complicated setup process. The overall setup process was long and very tricky for me to finish the setup. It was annoying as it was time demanding and complex.

A Competent and Great Antivirus to Counter the Harmful and Threatening Virus
Pros
Avast Business Antivirus has multiple advanced security features that are significantly impressive. The scanning feature is particularly fascinating as this antivirus scans my device and notifies me about the possible dangers that can cause harm to my computer.
Cons
The principal disappointing part of Avast Business Antivirus is its intricate setup procedure. The complete setup procedure is too lengthy and time-consuming. I feel that the setup procedure could be friendlier.

A Highly Recommended Antivirus Software
Avast provides an excellent antivirus software that keeps my computer and files safe, and I highly recommend it.
Pros
Even on the free trial plan, Avast has a wide array of capabilities. It can easily scan all of my files for potential viruses in minutes, and you can choose whether to scan everything or a certain folder. Upon downloading a file, you can also right click in said folder to run a scan in moments before opening. Luckily I haven't come across a virus yet, but it's my understanding that it would automatically scan and alert if one were to be present. Avast also saves me from landing on sites and blocks pop-ups or ads that may contain malware.
Cons
There have been pop-up messages every once in awhile that recommend removing what Avast deems to be "clutter" but are actually rather important files.

Best security provider
Overall, I would say that one of the best software to have for your IT systems. It ensures the safety of your data and work above anything else. The customer service is also very good
Pros
The software is top of a line security provider for your computer or IT systems from hacking threats. It continuously monitors the system and provides round-the-clock alerts and notifications about the threats which might have an impact on your business. it also updates automatically with the latest updates to keep your system running all the time
Cons
I would like the team to provide the latest news in the world of IT security to update the team locally. This will help the local team to act faster and solve the issue very easily

A useful computer security management software!
I used ABA a while ago because it was convenient to use and contained a lot of solutions to fight online threats, such as ransomware and spyware. The software is not that expensive compared to other security applications which is one of my reasons for choosing it.
Pros
Avast business antivirus is easy to install, consumes few system resources, protects sensitive data and protects against malware. It works in the background without showing up, which is quite nice.
Cons
Avast business antivirus does not have a free built-in vpn and network performance is quickly sucked away by the software. In addition, the ads are unbearable even if you pay for the subscription!

Very good antivirus
Pros
One of the best antivirus I've every used. It blocks everything. Unwanted ads, suspect files and sometimes e-mails from social medias and unknown senders - but I rather leave it like that than to clickbait something that can harm my safety. And you can Unlock some websites so it works just fine.
Cons
No big difference between the free and paid version. I get more reports but they seem kind of useless.

A Solid Antivirus Software.
Avast Business Antivirus has protected my PC from all possible Viral threats both online and offline. I couldn't ask for more.
Pros
There are lots of Pros. One thing you can count on is that Avast provides frequent updates, which puts your devices in the best possible position to combact all current and future threats. You're getting solid antivirus software by choosing Avast Business Antivirus.
Cons
The only negativity I could think of is perhaps the false negatives. There are times when the antivirus sees some useful software as a threat and quarantines them. I solve this by disabling antivirus whenever I want to install such software. Besides, this seems common with all Anti-virus software, and I guess it's nothing to worry about.

Overrated antivirus.
It didn't measure up to my expectations.
I hope they make changes to the risk assessment function, it doesn't estimate threats as it should.
Pros
I won't lie, Avast is a true windows defender, it will definitely keep you protected from anything but, it takes no tolerance when it defines some file/program as a threat.
Cons
I never liked how the risk assessment works, most files aren't even an actual threat but it still detect it as a "High Risk" file and erases it.

The best
Overall, I'm 100% satisfied and our company will continue using Avast for the foreseeable future.
Pros
This product is a breeze to use, even for our team members who aren't "tech savvy." The remote features allow our IT to ensure all devices on our network are safe.
Cons
Occasionally the firewall will block programs that are safe and that I need to use as a part of my daily workflow. It's unclear whether this would happen with competitor programs as well.
Response from Avast
Hi Brett,
Thank you for your feedback.
If a defined network is not provided or when the network profile of the firewall is set to public, this often causes the firewall to be overprotective.

Avast Business Antivirus Review
A good antivirus that protects our organization against incoming threats
Pros
With Avast Business Antivirus, we are able to detect a number of threats in our organization. This serves as our protection against cyber-attacks 24/7.
Cons
During updates, the antivirus consumes a lot of internet bandwidth and this affects the accessibility of some systems within our organization. It's also time-consuming.
