Best Quality Protection for your devices
Reviewed on 26/1/2021
Avast Business Antivirus is an all in one package for high-end security for devices. It has a 30-day free trial which is very much enough to test using this software. Built-in VPN with Avast is very interesting and helps you strongly to stay hidden at needed times. I personally have used this antivirus for almost 3 years now and I'm totally loving this.
Pros
-Easy to install
-Compatible with almost every operating system
-Features VPN and File Shredder too
-Constant updates with new antivirus definitions
-Consumes CPU power efficiently
-Has Built-in patch management
Cons
-Design is not so nice and responsive
-Sometimes it runs random startup system scan
-Lacks management on mobile devices

Too much ads and prompts, and gets quite misleading sometimes.
Reviewed on 26/1/2021
Overall it's still a great piece of software. Just that it's Cons have scared me away to use Kaspersky now.
Pros
Does not hog up CPU resources, to the point, and interface is relatively easy-to-use. It's got a whole bunch of features, but really the only one I like and use is the web antivirus. That's all it needs.
Cons
Sometimes quite misleading to tell me to opt into the Pro. It's got a prominent button to start a free trial for the paid software, but the "Free" icon is grey and put on the side so in the beginning I thought free option is not offered anymore.
Also, gives some false-positives sometimes. We build websites, and one of the websites we built for a client is always blocked by Avast. It's a false-positive.

Pretty Good Actually
Reviewed on 17/2/2021
Pros
I have found it to be better than expected. It's really handy to see what state other PC's are in when we worth over three sites.
Cons
It often conflicts with one application we have so the operator disables scanning and we did suffer a Randsomware attack as a result.

Perfect Privacy Software for Any Business
Reviewed on 2/3/2021
I highly recommend Avast Business for any Online Marketplace or Team that uses frequent online transactions. This keeps all browsing and transaction history completely private and secured from Viruses.
Pros
This is the most solid Privacy and Browsing Antivirus software that allows Add Block, Bank Privacy and much more. This Keeps every aspect of your online Business protected.
Cons
I dislike the adds that continue to appear at times and that sometimes certain settings such as add block turn off. Other than this, no complaints.

Review of Avast Business Antivirus- Best antivirus
Reviewed on 7/2/2021
It is best for small business as well as we can use it for personal computer also. As the price is little high we can comprise the price due to the best security features.

It has good threat, malware's detection capabilities and detects in realtime.
It is compatible with most of the operating systems.
It autoscans the external storage devices when connected, if any threats are found it is patched in realtime without hampering the PC.
It has variety of features included like wifi scanner, file Shredder, website scans during surfing (blocks website if threats are found), VPN, sandbox,etc.
Cons
During full scan, the device gets little bit laggy.
It shows several pop-up notification which might be annoying while working.
Pricing is little higher as compared to others.

The best
Reviewed on 23/2/2021
Overall, I'm 100% satisfied and our company will continue using Avast for the foreseeable future.
Pros
This product is a breeze to use, even for our team members who aren't "tech savvy." The remote features allow our IT to ensure all devices on our network are safe.
Cons
Occasionally the firewall will block programs that are safe and that I need to use as a part of my daily workflow. It's unclear whether this would happen with competitor programs as well.
Response from Avast
Hi Brett,
Thank you for your feedback.
If a defined network is not provided or when the network profile of the firewall is set to public, this often causes the firewall to be overprotective.
