Has a free version, is secure and reliable

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.

Responsive, integrates well with other applications, and the technical support is helpful

There is always room for improvement. I haven't had any problems, and they're doing a great job, in my opinion. They're doing quite well. In most cases, when we discover an issue, we report it to their engineers, who then schedule a fix. Normally, when we request something, I can see it happening within three to four months. This is a raw system. Of course, it has some flaws that could be improved. But, it's something that we will have to work with to get to the point where we need this, we request it and they do their best to make it happen. There is a lot of integration with other applications through Automate, and I believe they are working with all of the industry leaders to get the integration going. I am very pleased to be working with them.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's straightforward to set up."

"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."

"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."

"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."

"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."

"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."

"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."

"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable; it is basically self-monitoring and doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."

More Avast Business Hub pros

"This product saves us a lot of time and increases our efficiency."

"It is very scalable."

"The automated scripts feature means that we can set up for a lot of different things and they have reduced tech input drastically, in the sense that a task only needs to be done once instead of 100 times."

"The implementation is nice and easy."

"Remote access and detailed monitoring help us support our equipment."

"Remote monitoring allows the organization to react more quickly to emergencies, particularly offline devices/locations."

"It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing."

"One of the greatest benefits of LabTech is less client downtime, because LabTech lets you proactively monitor and fix issues before they interrupt your clients’ business, so you can virtually eliminate system outages."

More ConnectWise Automate pros

Cons

"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 workstations themselves."

"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."

"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."

"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."

"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."

"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."

"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."

"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."

More Avast Business Hub cons

"I have a problem with the reports available on the solution. I don't understand how to work with the reporting functionality. For example, when I want to give a report for a specific machine, ConnectWise doesn't seem to have this as an option. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if the reporting functionality is just poorly conceived."

"In Patch Manager, there should be more reportability so that it is easier to see the updates that I have applied to a machine and when the next update will happen. A lot of times, it seems like all the information is kind of thrown all over the place, and you can't really see it all at the same time. There should be a simplified patch data view that allows us to quickly confirm that our various clients are getting patched as they should be."

"There could be better linkages between ConnectWise Automate and Manage from a ticketing perspective. Automate and Manage each has its own ticketing system. We use the one in Manage, but it'd be nice if they were linked directly to the one in Automate."

"The project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved."

"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."

"Patching and reporting need improvements, especially reporting. The reporting engine is quite outdated, so you end up having to use your own dashboard."

"I have a problem with the reports available on the solution. I don't understand how to work with the reporting functionality."

"We would love to get feature updates and cumulative updates fixed. I know they aren't really supposed to be pushed with Patch Manager. We've got recommendations from ConnectWise to use the scripted feature update installs, scripted KB updates, etc. Having these in Patch Manager itself would be great."

More ConnectWise Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free version."

"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."

"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."

"I am using the free version of Avast."

"There are no costs other than licensing."

"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable."

"From what I've overheard, it is pretty comparable to other solutions in terms of price."

"I believe Automate is available for around $2."

"I pay $85 a month per user for a ConnectWise package that contains multiple solutions."
