Likelihood to Recommend	Avast Business is great to keep your business secure of virus/threads, is easy to install and use. I recommend digging around the options menu in order to get the best setup for your business. You should use the 30-day trial first in order to see if Avast Business Antivirus works well and fits your company needs. Miguel Antonio Escudero López Technical Support Engineer Read full review	We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users. Some of the 3rd party software is only allowed to run on specific IP addresses due to the license and this is a way that remote users can utilize that software without being on-site Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	First of all, Norton was a much pricier tool and it was like self-sabotage for us. And if I'll compare it with Avast then Avast is the best option. Second of all, Norton was quite heavy for some of our systems of various departments. And we needed a single tool that we can implement in all of our departments and Norton was unfortunately not what we were looking for.

Return on Investment	We pay about $20/endpoint/year which includes servers and all other devices plus the remote access and cloud portal management. For a Pro class service that's peanuts. As stated, I haven't had anything slip through, though I can say that we are super careful to not let anything through. Could be either, but I feel safer as an IT person that Avast is in place. The solution is priced right, runs well, is cloud-based and makes for very low management. Can't complain about it at all.
