Avast Small Office Protection

Vorteile

It is easy to use. Takes little time to configure and works effectively.

Nachteile

Updates are not regular. The patch window presents risks to security.

Vorteile

I find the interface attractive and easy to use.

Nachteile

I am still getting used to using this, and so far I'm not finding any issues.

Vorteile

I purchased Avast to keep my work computer safe. I use that computer for invoicing and daily emails.

Nachteile

I found the system to be easy enough to install, but I had issues with security while using it. My information stored on the computer and in emails still found its way into other hands. It also did not play nice with some of my operating systems causing me major irritations on more than one occasion. I could never be sure it had me covered from the latest threats.

Vorteile

It's a good software for price. I think there are better options though.

Nachteile

Good for protection against viruses and other things.

Vorteile

That benefit that once the system identifies a virus or Trojan whatever it may be it locks said “nasty” inside a chest where it deactivated all function for the program and protects the computer from any damage the item may cause

Nachteile

Sometimes it may block software installation however I’m usually the kind of guy that uses the good protection of the software to be able to use sketchy downwloads… in other words even if you install this of grandpas “leisure” computer you won’t have to worry about him having a visit from your grandson to clear it out for him

Vorteile

Avast is easy to use and gives you insight on what websites are trying to gain access to your computer. I've used them for personal and business use and they have worked great!

Nachteile

Some of the information on the dashboard canbe hard to understand unless you're more on the tech side of things.

Vorteile

Does what it says on the box and doesn't bother us with too many spurious messages

Nachteile

Funny you should ask... just this morning, on booting up my Mac reminded me that Avast may be incompatible with future Mac OS releases. It would inspire confidence if a patch made that go away.

Vorteile

I like the boot time scan is one of my favorite tools avast has, and it is very easy to use.

Nachteile

It can take long on some safe apps to mark them as safe.

Vorteile

Super easy to apply to all units in the office & was also super easy to get rolling on the laptops that travel with the practice owner and myself.

Nachteile

Sometimes it forgets that you have put off a restart request for greater than 1 hour

Vorteile

it is an efficient Anti-virus software, very light on PC, does not not reserve a big portion of the RAM.

Nachteile

the built-in virus and worms list should be bigger to continually accommodate the new viruses.

Vorteile

Veloce e facile da installare. Rileva immediatamente i problemi e velocemente li risolve. La cosa che più mi piace è che non è invasivo e non inficia o influisce sul lavoro che si sta svolgendo

Nachteile

Nessun appunto negativo rilevato sino ad ora

Vorteile

Generally easy to integrate or apply to multiple devices on my network of computers. Real time protection is reliable.

Nachteile

Can block some files that are safe and takes time to clear them sometimes.

Vorteile

Il est simple d'utilisation, sécurisé, fiable et surtout il ne ralentit pas votre PC en cours d'exécution, pas même lors de la numérisation. Il est moins cher que la plupart des concurrents et vous permet de savoir littéralement pour chaque élément de menace potentielle qu'il a trouvé.

Nachteile

Rien de négatif à signaler à part le fait qu'il n'y a pas d'option de souscription sur moins de 10 licences aussi les affiches de rappel ou d'alerte qui sont beaucoup récurrentes.

Vorteile

Avast small office protection a les capacités d’ analyser les courriers électroniques entrants et sortants pour détecter et bloquer les pièces jointes malveillantes et les liens dangereux

Nachteile

Il peut utiliser une partie conséquente des ressources de l'ordinateur, ce qui peut ralentir les performances de l'ordinateur.

Vorteile

It was the most affordable anti-virus protection for small businesses that I have found.

Nachteile

I wish they had other installable mediums beside the dmg format for my macOS endpoints. It would be nice if the installable file was also available in the pkg format so I can easily deploy it through Microsoft Intune. Avast needs to work on their billing admin portal it is too confusing!

Vorteile

I am pleased with this product since I have installed it. It's running in continue and I didn't have virus since. The interface is easy to understand, well organized by categories and powerful.

Nachteile

Maybe some options should be free but it's remaining a very good set of protection.

Vorteile

A very easy to use tool, secure, reliable and above all it does not slow down your PC while running, not even while scanning. It is cheaper that most of the competitors and lets you know literally for every bit of potential threat it has found.

Nachteile

Nothing negative to talk about apart from the fact that there is no option for subscription on less that 10 licenses. Apart from that nothing else. Everything is perfect.

Vorteile

it is a very simple solution to install and use which offers an optimum level of protection with many features for all my devices (PC, mobile, tablet, etc.) for my activity and at a very attractive price.

Nachteile

Some important features are optionally paid.

Vorteile

Avast is the best security software According to me because they provide lots of features like easy to use and maintain, a clean modern interface offers a free trial and compatibility with all operating systems.

Nachteile

The one thing that I don't like in Avast has no firewall function. There is some issue with lagging of pc and slow down the speed of the pc.

Vorteile

Since installing Avast we have had zero downtime. Avast regularly catches virus attempts and quarantines them.

Nachteile

Our package includes 10 computers, but my account page doesn't tell how many of these subscriptions are in use. As the administrator, it would be helpful to know that staff have installed the software and how many licenses remain. Because we are working from home during the pandemic, this is not something I can physically check.

Vorteile

Easy to use and stays in the background. Have not had an issue with it yet.

Nachteile

Not easy to set up secondary computers without the initial email. Dashboard for administrator would be helpful.

Vorteile

Easy to use/set up etc. Good interface.

Nachteile

Turns itself off almost daily requiring restarting. Requires to be started manually every morning.

Nachteile

overall are ok, smooth, always monitoring everything, the good thing a lot is the scanning during booting the machine if we adjust for that.
