What differentiates Avast Business Security from other similar products?

What makes Avast differnt is the cost of the service. It is very abortable per computer.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite part of the product is how easy it is to setup and check to see if everything is running smoothly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about the product is that it is hard to trust Avast since for me I have always know it as a free anti-virus that would slow your computer down.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would think about how many computers you need this for. If you only have a small number of computers, then this is fine. If you are large business, you may need to look else for a different provider.

Appreciates Incumbent Status

Cons

Slower Product Innovation
