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.

It's easy to use and set up, but I've faced performance problems
I have experience with Quad9 and most other filtering solutions. Quad9 was working well initially, but it started slowing, so I switched to OpenDNS. I recently checked Tom's Hardware, an IT review site, and read a review of seven DNS filters. Open DNS was ranked the fastest, and Quad9 was second. Google was on there too, but they said it didn't filter enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The protection is very good."
"Previously, we were working with Norton, and we switched from Norton to Avast because we believe Avast is far superior and a better solution, especially for PC management."
"The solution can scale well."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"The installation was simple, and it did not take very long."
"Our time to response to malware is now at the lowest percentage possible."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"After installing Avast, this did not happen."
"Setting up Quad9 is straightforward if you know what you're doing, and it's easy to use overall."
"The most valuable feature of Quad9 is that it is a free solution."
 

Cons

"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"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."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"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 solution could improve by providing more security."
"It used to work fine for all the devices, but it started to slow and become non-responsive. I would have to reload the page two or three times before all the pages loaded. With OpenDNS, I only need to load the page once."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
