Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I didn't use any antivirus because my operating system was secure already. I haven't faced any issues so far, so I didn't use it before.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up MOVE Antivirus is straightforward. It only takes a couple of minutes. We have a couple of technical specialists who handle all of this.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not sure about the pricing because it's something that our security staff installed. It should be licensed like any commercial solution purchased by a company.

What other advice do I have?

I rate MOVE Antivirus seven out of 10. I haven't had any issues, so I can recommend this.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

I have a one-year subscription on my laptop. I'm not sure what my company is using. They may be on an enterprise level.
