I have definitely had a positive experience using Avast.
I switched from Norton to Avast 2 years ago and I found that Avast was easier to install and configure. I also like that it quarantines anything it deems suspicious. I can review the report and act accordingly.
I do not really have anything specific that I do not like about this software. I guess the price could be lower, but it is equal to what other platforms charge for the same service.

I fell very happy since we migrated to Avast, smooth transition very well full of features, nice control over the web central console, nice pricing, what more can i ask?
I like the best the web interface, it is a service that is hosted by avast, so you dont need to install or manage any server service, that being said, also the way to deploy installation to new devices is very user friendly, avast has been updating this product and characteristics over time and it is becoming a very good quality product at a very decent price, there is no match on the competition to have all features for the same amunt of money that Avast offers, you can customize devices by their O.S make plenty of policies for the devices this give you a lot of control on how do you want to treat your users.
The ability to add new devices/susbscriptions is very well, but if you want to unsuscribe devices or manage your subscription in any other way that will end paying less on your monthly fee is not so user friendly, you have to send a ticket to support so they can unsubscribe any device/license you want to stop paying..

Very nice GUI and easy to use Is made from Czechia, which is huge point for us.
Even though i mentioned it's huge point they are from Czechia, you can't expect them to be asap when coming to you (They do have departments around the world, but still)

Avast Business Antivirus Pro Plus have a friendly UI interface, which comes with a hosted endpoint protection product.
Excellent in threat detection against any malware. UI interface easy to navigate.
mobile device management not accessible. Error insertion of license verification at times.

in general. Avast is one of the best antiviruses that has provided many tools to monitor the system, improve performance, and secure browsing services, all of these services for an annual subscription that is considered one of the best among competitors.
Personally, I consider Avast one of the best antiviruses with great value for money. The most prominent feature that I liked is Simple interface design, so you can easily access all services. The sandbox feature enabled me to safely run some suspicious software for testing. VPN services, monitor and improve device performance tools.
Many alert messages and an alert tone are one of the annoyances. Even after canceling some alert messages, they continue to surface.

Overall our company uses this on a daily basis with minimum headaches. Training on the software has gone pretty easy with each user - and that's a testament to the great UI.
Literally the UI makes the software very simple to use, diagnose, understand, and take action. Avast gets an A+ for their user interface on each section.
I feel like the software could go a bit further explaining threats better as to how they attempted to interact with the system (Windows) so we could learn what they were trying to do.

I find Avast does a fairly good job on several areas including identifying areas of security to firm up and cleaning my systems.
I wish Avast would offer better bundles of features to prevent juggling subscriptions to various essential services.

I've tried 3 or 4 other products in the past. This usually occurred if they were pre-loaded on a new computer. I've always found those offerings to be out of line in regards to price and much more difficult to use. I run this small business and am responsible for everything from our computers, to shipping packages, and have even served as the office plumber on occasion. I am not however a full time computer tech or systems administrator. I need something that is simple to deploy and use and requires very little of my attention.
I like that everything is contained in a single product. There are no need for me to purchase ad-ons. I also appreciate that I can purchase a bundle that suits my business model.
I don't really have any complaints. But the auto-renew has caused me to be billed for multiples of the same product in the past. The "auto-renew" was not very transparent in the past. Also, there have been times when I opted not to address a lapsing subscription because I had no intention of renewing and the credit card had expired but the renewal was processed and billed anyway.

Avast Business Antivirus Genius In addition to isn't a basic antivirus, as it offers many progressed highlights features that does not affect the PC speed. As well as dealing with the soundness of the framework, it likewise can examine messages and website pages progressively, check the security of WiFi organizations, safeguard against keeping an eye on webcams and considerably more. Best antivirus.
Avast is really the best antivirus software out in the market, from a personal experience, i was saved many many times from malicious softwares due to the nature of my work as marketer sometimes i receive emails wich contains some form of documents that are not what they supposed to be and if it was not for avast i would have downloaded the wrong documents
The pop-up notifications for updates could be annoying sometimes.

Good, as it did not allow any viruses to damage our computer system, but I haet teh interruption of work with reports
Very good antivirus and keep up-to-date with cybersecurity and viruses developed
I hate how it takes up all your computer resources when you are devoted to other matters and slow up the computer with unnecessary reports about unused software or not scanned disks.

Hace aproximadamente un año que lo uso y la verdad me ha gustado bastante, empecé con el avast en versión de prueba pero no dude un segundo en cambiarme a la versión paga, uso bastante el computador por temas de trabajo y constantemente estoy descargando archivos, pero mi computador funciona excelente desde que lo tengo ha ido super rápido y no ha presentado ningún problema, por lo que mi experiencia con Avast ha sido por lo bajo excelente.
Me gusta del software que mantiene tu equipo protegido constantemente, realiza análisis periódicos en el equipo y tiene una respuesta super rápida cuando encuentra algún problema, además me gusta mucho que puedes obtener las opciones complementarias para acelerar tu equipo, proteger tu VPN o instalar controladores desactualizados de la PC entre otros. Además la relación precio calidad es super buena.
Lo que menos me gusta es que constantemente necesita reiniciar el equipo, preferiría que hubiera algún tipo de programación para que el equipo se reiniciara una vez cada cierto tiempo, ya que de momento me pide reinicios constantes y eso es un poco molesto ya que trabajo con mi computador, así que me interrumpe bastante.

Overall I find it to be very useful and reliable when it comes to detecting malware and viruses, so the experience is acceptable.
Decent interface and all around functionality, it doesn't consume alot of system resources in my experience so therefore you can put it on your computer or mobile device without worrying about your system slowing down. The web shield is excellent and the full system scan feature ensures that every corner of your system is properly scanned.
There is no per-user license model available for this antivirus which is something I believe that they should add to the antivirus right now or at the very least consider adding it in the near future.

Overall it's been pretty good. Outside of a few issues that I could work with support to help fix.
It is easy to manage, rollout, and continue to get reports from. Easy to add rules, troubleshoot issues, and manage overall. Provides excellent response to foreign things and keeps updates constant.
There have been some issues in keeping the client (NOT the definitions) updated. For some reason, it won't update, but it will respond back. It takes some time but it is possible to eventually update it. It has at times randomly blocked somethings, but that may be because the behavior shield is still learning.
Hi Thomas, Thank you for your feedback. We need more information to better be able to assist with this concern.

too much can not be said about the program's work because it runs in the background and informs only if an intervention is required and the user's decision the rest is automatic the program does not bother you and it should be like that
it is easy to use and since we have it there are no problems with viruses on the net
Can't say a bad word about this software working well

One day during my work all computers stopped they were attacked by some viruses which could deleted all files but Avast Business Antivirus Pro did not allowed to happen that.
I really like that Avast Business Antivirus Pro is easy to install and and all the files are protected and untouched by any malware or something bigger which may cause trouble in all system and work of the company.
Avast Business Antivirus Pro has some bugs sometimes but it repairs by itself.

Avast is very reasonably priced for what you get from it . The scanning process is extensive without overbearing your device too much .
It can be a bit trigger-happy when it comes to handling quarantine files , it usually goes straight to deletion . From time to time it also recognizes regular files as threats .

so far it has been able to protect my computer to date.
This software does not only scan your computer for antivirus but it does it also for malware and spyware. A pop-up often comes up to ask to run a scan when the antivirus suspects anything in your computer. it also warns you about suspicious browsers.
As good as the software is it does slow down your computer when scanning. T manufacturer needs to add an extra feature to the free version
