What differentiates Avast Business Security from other similar products?

The difference between avast and other similar programs is that it is very didactic and easy to understand in terms of alerts, the sounds of these alerts do not alter you, but rather are pleasant to the ear and visually it is fantastic, in the long run it produces the least possible stress and interference in the user's environment.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect about this product is that threats are easily logged in a long list, this is essential, I can actually access them virtually and click separating the false positives from the real threats.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing, it really is a sophisticated program that has always been at the forefront and has all the flanks covered as far as security news is concerned.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend that you try it for yourselves and you will see the advantages of having your web and desktop environment secured from malware.

Automated protection and scheduled scans.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Avast Business Security from other similar products?

Avast stands out because it provides more advanced detection for more complex threats that enter the device, it allows you to connect devices simultaneously to the Avast account and this helps you see the real-time status of the devices and if threats have been found. It offers a complete quarantine service where you can quickly store a threat.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like Avast's web protection, it allows you to browse safely at all times and this helps to block websites with untrusted credentials. I like Avast's scheduled scans and automatic scans, they run without you having to do it manually and this helps to keep your device protected. Virus database updates are performed automatically and almost daily, ensuring up-to-date protection.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The free trial version has many limitations, it does not allow you to remove threats, generate automatic and scheduled scans, and it does not allow you to use the web protection service. There are very few things that Avast's free trial is good for, I really recommend using its paid version to enjoy great benefits.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend linking all company devices, this way you will have a real-time status of device protection. I also recommend muting Avast update notifications, notifications tend to be a bit annoying when the database is being updated.
