IT System Administrator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good choice and price is fair " April 9, 2025 4.0 Avast Cloud Security offers solid protection with reliable threat detection and a user-friendly interface. It’s a strong solution for cloud-based security needs, but the tradeoff is noticeable system impact. The software feels heavy at times and can slow down performance, especially on older machines. Great protection—just be ready for the resource usage. Pros Avast Cloud Security provides strong protection and a solid feature set. The management dashboard made it easy to track, label, and organize our devices, and it integrated well with our automation schedules and routine maintenance. Cons On high-end machines, it ran fine—but on older or less powerful computers, performance took a noticeable hit. Solid security, just not the lightest option out there.

Analista de sistemas Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent value for money, but with caveats" December 23, 2022 3.0 Overall it's a good antivirus, cheap and efficient in most cases, although it offers a lot of unnecessary functionality most of the time. If it focused only on virus, vpn and firewall removal, I believe it would be more efficient. Pros It's easy to install and run virus and security scans. It usually shows the user clearly the existing threats and already offers the solution to the problems found.Does not consume as much hardware resources of the machine Cons It does not offer protection against some existing malware. Scanning pendrives sometimes fails and allows the machine to become infected.

Project advisor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Avast for Business - One of the cheapest options for your company." June 17, 2020 5.0 One of the things I’ve always loved deeply about all versions of Avast is its 30-day free trial, where you can see if it’s the solution to your problems, both individual and corporate. The avast suite was the first antivirus model I got and used on my computer, since my childhood, which I just switched to solutions that I thought were more robust and efficient. I really like the fact that avast has automatic solutions to detect threats that lurk around the network, so that you can browse smoothly, without worrying too much about problems (if you surf casually, of course). The built-in VPN is very interesting and is a very smart solution, helping you strongly to stay hidden at desired times. Although I liked Avast and its corporate solution very much, I believe that there are solutions in similar price ranges that have won me much more than him, so I say easily: it is not a perfect antivirus, but I guarantee that if you have a small company, or just for you, Avast is a cost-effective solution. Pros 1 - Much more customizable than other antiviruses in the same price range. 2 - Detects a reasonable number of threats. 3 - The program's firewall is exceptional in its detection. 4 - Its compatible with Mac OS, Windows and Windows Server (best value I found for server protection solution). 5 - Three different types of protection, so you can choose the one that best fits your use and your company. Cons 1 - Some more advanced threats were not detected, which started to worry me. 2 - Although it protects you (sometimes try to protect) from spam and other threats, the program opens several pop-ups, visually polluting your desktop a little. 3 - Strong problem to protect against some types of spam. 4 - The difference between the three versions: Regular, Pro and Pro Plus, are not so significant to justify the price difference between them, being that it would be more interesting to have only a more robust version.

I will unquestionably suggest utilizing it. Pros Avast Business Pro Plus has an extraordinary UI, simple to introduce and utilize - a sensible expense and the way that you can have a free time for testing is great.

Pros Cloud console administration, easy to use, easy to setup in a fly, very low per user licence cost, no aditional H/W required, IMHO the bes value in town Cons Avast is constantly updating the cloud console, adding patches, new functionallities, etc, sometimes it is hard to get to the console and see new things that you need to understand what have changed since last time you where there.

Owner Utilities Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "All the Essentials and More" December 14, 2019 5.0 After reading the reviews for Avast Business Antivirus Pro Plus, I was satisfied that this was the software that I needed to protect my business. It's done a great job so far and has been very user-friendly. Another reason we decided to go with this software was due to its compatibility with MacOS. Pros The best thing about Avast Business Antivirus Pro Plus is that it offers tons of included features beyond simple antivirus protection. It has the ability to scan emails, check the security of Wi-Fi networks, protect from webcam spying, and much more. Perhaps one of the most useful features is that of the "sandbox." The sandbox feature allows you to run programs on a virtual computer before actually installing them on your own. Cons The software costs just a little bit more than its competitors. For a one year subscription, we pay $75 per user. Despite having many essential features you need for your business, the one thing it does lack is ransomware protection. Alternatives considered [ESET Endpoint Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/151915/ESET-Endpoint-Security/) Reason for choosing Avast Ultimate Business Security Avast was more transparent in their pricing. Additionally, Avast seemed like it would be easier to set up than ESET. Review Source Jessica G.

It's easy to use, it's very alert, and it has saved me from several issues that could have ruined my computer. Cons It can slow the computer in certain modes, but if you know how to set it up well, it won't hinder your computer's performance. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) Personally just liked the way Avast operated more and I started with the free trial that they offered and that kind of sold me on the product.

December 22, 2022 5.0 We used it because our system was vulnerable, we went through many defense systems like this and they were very expensive and very limiting in detecting and stopping cyber threats, the whole implementation process was easy, the scans are fast and the return on investment has been favorable. Pros It is a protection system far superior to the others, I like that we had a good implementation, no restrictions in our operating system, the implementation was good and the user interface is dynamic, the alerts are early and strong when trying to get malicious in our company. Cons We have had no problems as we have a team of trained people with prior experience with software of this type, and no bad experiences since using it. Review Source Susan A.

Credit Specialist Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficient protection that every business needs" September 25, 2018 5.0 Overall I strongly recommend Avast to any business type. Because for today annual or monthly fees may seem higher to you, but considering the risk and results of any infections it worth to buy Avast. Pros I was using Avast on my personal computer since many years and at work I convinced our director to switch to a better security. Avast has proven its reliability and effeiciency with advanced and realtime protection from multiple threads. What I like in avast is smart prediction feature which protect our servers and computers from dangerous infections before their attack. With a strong firewall avast always detects all activity on our server and computers and keeps dangerous malware and softwares away from us. Security is the main priority of all businesses and in order to keep their future ideas in a safe place Avast is the main solution for any business type. Before Avast I was afraid to attach any flash drive to work computer. Because most viruses use flash drives. But now when there is a suspicios flash drive I attach it to my computer very confidently thanks to Avast. Because it immediately detects and prevents dangerous viruses and suspicious behaviours. Cons Sometimes Avast acts skeptical than normal and prevents me visiting some websites and installing some apps. Maybe such apps are not dangerous but some part of their algorithm seem suspicious and can steal information. Therefore avast prevents me installing such kind of apps. Review Source Stayn P.
