Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management.""Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing.""It's not heavy on the system.""Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness.""It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything.""The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation.""The solution is easy to use.""It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."

"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar.""It's simple and easy to use.""The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards.""It's open-source and free to use.""ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support.""The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for.""It is an extremely stable solution.

Cons
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates.""The accuracy of the scanner could be improved.""It could download faster during deployment.""The solution could improve by providing more security.""I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version.""Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting.""Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement.""It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."

More Avast Business Hub Cons →

"The solution needs to be more reactive to investigations. We need to be able to detect and prevent any attacks before it can damage our infrastructure. Currently, this solution doesn't offer that.""The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes.""The Integration module could be improved. It is a pain to build integration with any product. We have to do parking and so on. It's not like other commercial solutions that use profile integration. I would also see more detection features on the SIEM side.""Their visuals and graphs need to be better.""This solution is very hard to implement.""The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation.""There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program.""Elastic has one problem. In the past, Elastic Security was free. Now, they currently only offer the basic license or a certain period of time."
