| IT Consultant at College Notre Dame de Nazareth | 4.0 | I've used Avast for years; it offers good protection, scalability, and a free version. While stable, deployment is slow, and I prefer ESET, though I recommend Avast as a good, affordable option for clients. |
| CEO at Premier Wired Solutions | 4.5 | I use Avast Business Endpoint Protection for intrusion detection, finding its PC Patch Management invaluable. While setup is easy and support excellent, it unfortunately reduces network speed. I rate it 9/10, preferring it over Norton. |
| Data center sales at PT Sapta Tunas Teknologi | 4.0 | I've used this stable antivirus for five years, valuing its performance, easy setup, and scalability. However, the scanner frequently gives false positives, which needs improvement for better accuracy. |

We provide the solution to our clients.
They do have a free version on offer.
The protection is very good.
There's an aspect of the solution that will work with a VPN, which is useful.
The solution can scale well.
It is stable and reliable.
We find it better than other software or antiviruses.
The solution could offer more protection.
It could download faster during deployment.
The product could be even more stable.
I've been using the solution for ten years. It's been about a decade.
The stability is pretty good. I would rate it eight out of ten. It is reliable and the performance is good.
The product can scale.
We have 600 clients here using Avast and we have 1200 clients using ESET.
We have about 300 using the free version of Avast.
We've dealt with technical support and they are pretty good.
Positive
I have also worked with ESET.
The setup is just a simple download from the internet. If the internet is slow, it might take a while. We found ESET took five minutes to set up, and Avast took six or seven minutes and therefore it's a bit slower.
The full deployment took about one hour.
About 50% of my clients are using the free version of Avast if they don't want to pay for ESET. We are using the free version.
In terms of the pricing of the licenses, we buy it online. We would like to have a dealer license so we can buy it from Avast and resell it later.
There's just the licensing cost. There are no extra fees associated with the product.
I'm a consultant.
I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.
We have several customers who do not like the Office 365 solution. Many of them have an exchange server and we Avast Business Endpoint Protection to assist us with the intrusion detections of people attempting to break into the server in order to use it for the large concept that they would be using now as the new virus set that attacks each PC on, one of the common viruses. And Avast is a big help with that, specifically for those who do not have Office 365 in their environment.
Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management. It displays all of the most recent updates for each PC and then explains why a particular PC refuses to install certain Patch Management. It could be a software issue or that the PC is too old, but Avast has a nice report that tells you exactly what's going on with each PC and why it's not accepting a particular patch or update.
They have very nice reports.
It reduces network and bandwidth speed. We cope with our bandwidth in order to use it.
The majority of the complaints we receive are about the PC running slower. The network is slower as a result of the increased bandwidth usage.
I would like to see the reports simplified for those who are not technically minded. Some of these reports can be confusing, and I'd love to be able to send them to my clients.
An IT person would be able to understand them, but a client who does not have an IT background would find it difficult. I would like the language should be easier for them to understand.
Avast Business Endpoint Protection was first used by us in 2018 when it was known as AVG. We chose Norton, and in the last year, we switched back to Avast Business Endpoint Protection.
We are using the latest version.
It is a stable product, but we did encounter a bug because the PC was not in the domain, but we were able to resolve it after contacting the Management team. The team is excellent, they called us back within 10 mins.
Avast Business Endpoint Protection is very easy to scale.
In our organization, we have over 300 users.
Technical support is very good.
Previously, we were working with Norton. We switched from Norton to Avast because we believe Avast is far superior. It's a better solution, especially for PC management.
The initial setup is easy. Simply connect it to your network, and it will scan your network and tell you how many PCs you have, after which you can deploy it. You are not required to visit each PC. It is extremely simple.
If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price. It all depends on whether or not you have a good partner because they charge you $2 per PC or $1 per PC, depending on how long you have been a partner. However, depending on who is selling it to you, you may be able to give that client for as little as three or four dollars per PC.
I get a dollar per PC, and I don't even charge my clients because I've had them for so long and I have so many different ways to earn revenue, that I don't need to charge them more for Avast, I give them whatever price they give me.
I recommend that anyone working with Norton change immediately. It has a devastating impact on the PC and the CPU. The life of your computer appears to be deteriorating.
I would rate Avast Business Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten.
We primarily use the solution for protection as we don't have another antivirus.
The performance of the solution has been great overall. It's quite stable.
It's straightforward to set up.
It's scalable.
The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file. We get false positives a lot. Scanning needs to be more accurate.
I've been using the solution for five years.
The solution offers good performance and is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
The solution can scale. It's not a problem to expand it as needed.
I use it for personal use.
I've never contacted technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are when there are issues.
We may have previously used Kaspersky or McAfee, although I can't say with exact certainty.
We were able to set up the solution with no issues. It's straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult.
The deployment itself was fast and took less than ten minutes.
The implementation can be done in-house. We did not need any outside assistance from consultants or integrators.
The licensing costs are okay. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability.
We've upgraded the solution at least four times.
I'd recommend the solution to other users.
I'd rate the product eight out of ten.
We use the solution for security purposes. It is basically for scanning for viruses.
It's not heavy on the system.
The initial setup is effortless and straightforward.
It’s stable and reliable.
The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems.
We’ve been using the solution for two or three years at this point. It’s been a while.
The solution is quite stable and straightforward. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable.
I can't comment on the scalability. I can't say that Have tried to scale it to any extent.
We currently have 15 users on the solution. We do plan to increase usage as we are a growing business.
I’ve rarely dealt with technical support. However, I find them to be okay. I don’t have any major issues with their level of responsiveness or helpfulness.
I did not previously use a different solution. I’ve only ever used Avast.
I found the implementation process to be easy. It’s not difficult at all. I cannot recall precisely how long it took to deploy. I just remember it being straightforward to accomplish.
We currently have two staff members who can handle any deployment and maintenance tasks. They are both admins.
We handled the entire implementation process in-house. It was not hard at all. We didn’t need any outside assistance.
I use the free version. I don’t need to pay for it.
I am a customer and end-user.
We use the Professional Version of the solution.
Whether or not I would recommend the solution to others depends on the platform and applications they're running.
I’d rate the solution six out of ten.
I use Avast for endpoint protection, including antivirus.
It is mainly used for laptops, securing from any virus threat, specifically from the internet. It also protects against external data sources such as a hard drive or pen drive, which are connected externally to the laptop.
This product is always active. Whenever I perform an internet search or an external device is connected, it promptly scans and identifies any problems. It looks directly at the data packets.
The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation.
It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market.
This is a stable product.
I have only installed it on my personal laptop, and I am the only user, so I have not tested the scalability.
I have not been in contact with technical support.
I have used similar solutions by Symantec, McAfee, and others. The problem with those is that after the product was installed, the performance of the laptop deteriorated. It becomes slow. After installing Avast, this did not happen.
The solution that I was using immediately before Avast was McAfee, which was approximately two years ago.
The installation is straightforward. It takes between five and six minutes to complete.
I completed the deployment myself.
I am using the free version of Avast.
I would be prepared to pay for a product that has good features. However, it should be cost-effective. As a personal user, I cannot spend a lot on licensing. It should be a yearly subscription and be available at a reasonable cost.
In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
We use Avast Business Endpoint Protection for protection against viruses.
The solution is easy to use.
The solution could improve by providing more security.
I have been using Avast Business Endpoint Protection for approximately six years.
The solution is scalable.
We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution in my organization.
We have used Microsoft Defender.
The installation was simple, and it did not take very long.
We did the implementation of the solution ourselves and we have a team that does the maintenance.
We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection.
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate Avast Business Endpoint Protection an eight out of ten.
We have a bunch of instances in production and Dev infrastructure. We use it to protect Linux boxes, PCs, and Macs. We are using the latest version.
We didn't use any similar solution before, and we did not suffer from any attacks previously. We were lucky that we did not have any attacks, and we didn't suffer from anything.
We got it more for compliance. To be compliant, you have to have endpoint protection. Now that we have this solution, we still haven't detected anything. Overall, the employee workforce is kind of at top of their game regarding phishing attacks, but again, you cannot always be a hundred percent on it. So far, we didn't have anything that Avast Business Endpoint Protection would actually catch.
The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install.
It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine.
In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection.
I have been using it since August, that is, for about four months.
It is stable. There are no bugs or glitches.
It is scalable. You have to purchase licenses. One thing that we have is that the instances are mostly kind of static. Once they go up, they remain for at least a year or something like that. Therefore, we didn't have a case where you have a license just hanging there. I don't know if they offer any kind of flexible amount, pool, or something like that.
It is being used throughout the company. We have 40 people. It is used to protect every personal computer and the whole production and developer infrastructure.
I haven't used their technical support so far.
I used Norton 360 previously in a different company. From a resource standpoint, it is not resource-intensive like Norton.
We actually wanted to go with Norton 360 in my current company, but we could not get hold of them, and we could not purchase. That's the worst experience that we had. We wanted to give them money, but they couldn't be reached to actually schedule.
It was straightforward.
It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs.
It is pretty much straightforward to set up. Installation and updates are the only two steps. If you're setting up your company from scratch in the beginning, then I would suggest to buy it and then basically get it installed on every image. For a bigger company or for each personal computer or workstation, you can install it as an image. It will then already be there, and you don't have to bother with installing it later. For your cloud infrastructure, if you have an AMI, AWS, or any kind of image, that image should be updated with that software. The only thing that you need to change is the license.
I would rate Avast Business Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten. For a ten, it should have a 360 kind of view of the whole organization or the whole infrastructure.
I mainly use Avast Business Endpoint Protection to detect, report, and track any issues with external devices.
Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness.
Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates.
I've been using Avast Business Endpoint Protection for a year.
I would rate Avast Business Endpoint Protection's stability eight out of ten.
I would rate Avast Business Endpoint Protection's scalability eight out of ten.
The initial setup was easy.
I would recommend Avast Business Endpoint Protection to other users and rate it eight out of ten.
I use Avast as my primary antivirus solution.
The most valuable features are the antivirus itself, the PC cleaning that removes trash files and clears space on the PC, and the VPN.
Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement.
I've been using Avast for years.
The stability of Avast is fine.
Avast's scalability is fine.
The initial setup was straightforward - I'd rate the experience as five out of five.
There are no costs other than licensing.
Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing. I would rate it nine out of ten.
I use this solution to protect against viruses.
N/A
It's easy to use.
It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything. As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC.
Overall, it's really good.
I would like to see better protection. That's what you want from an antivirus solution.
Maybe with the paid version, you get more but for the free version, it could be limited.
I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites.
I have been using Avast Free Endpoint Protection for a couple of years.
It's a stable solution. It just runs in the background with no problem. I have never had an instance where it has interfered with the normally running of my PC.
Yes, I believe that it is very scalable and is suitable for individuals and organisations.
I have not had to contact technical support as the product is stable and does what it is designed for, no frills, just good protection.
Previously, I have used McAfee. McAfee is really good, but you only get a trial period, and then you need to pay. I had to reinstall it on my computer recently, and McAfee comes up.
I'm on the one-month free subscription but it does get irritating because it keeps popping up, wanting me to pay for it.
The installation is easy. It takes less than five minutes to download and install.
I completed the installation myself via website download.
I am using the free version.
I know that if you pay for it, you get better protection such as hiding your pc behind firewalls, hacker threats, data protection and webcam shielding.
I would absolutely recommend this solution and I have recommended it to others
I would rate Avast Free Endpoint Protection a ten out of ten.
