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

"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The solution is quite stable and straightforward."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"The performance of the solution has been great overall."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"This product saves us a lot of time and increases our efficiency."
"Because of the system's capabilities, my team is able to significantly reduce the work that they were previously doing, more than 40%, in my opinion."
"A good automated scripts feature."
"Their premium support is great."
"It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing."
"We use monitors to keep track of our machines. We use a pretty good portion of information from Automate."
"The most value we get from this solution is that everything is on a patch cycle, so all my team has to do is go through patches, whereas previously, they were doing all the patches manually."
"The most value we get from this solution is that everything is on a patch cycle."
 

Cons

"It could download faster during deployment."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"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."
"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."
"They always change the GUI to some dumb-down version of tiles which are more "user-friendly", but slows my team down in the end."
"This is a raw system. Of course, it has some flaws that could be improved."
"The project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved."
"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."
"Because of the vast number of features, the software is difficult to navigate."
"I almost would rather have a different tool, but I'm not sure which one yet."
"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"Their support needs to be better."
