Very reliable
Easy to use, good platform and nice applications.
CONSSo far haven't see something that didn't like except some patches which still fighting to install.

Good for the price
I feel it is good for the price. I enjoyed the mobile interface where you can subscribe to emails that will update you when you're away from the office. If it had a built-in RDP protection and application that would streamline with the VPN that have asked offers then it would be ideal. The patch management
PROSI felt it was a nice ease of use but it did not feel as intuitive for the capabilities that it can achieve with the potential we have within state of the art programming.
CONSI did not like the fact that it does not tie a remote protocol within the program but makes you pay several hundred per year to use their own protocol. This should simply protect your RDP that is already built into windows. It doesn't have a hub like Omni but I am sure this is due to the fact that most businesses have a hardware firewall. I feel a hub with top it off as far as quality functionality and state of the art technology. The hub could work as a separate accessing point rather than using a machine to facilitate processes within or outside of the network. The patch management doesn't update Windows and it's entirety so you still have to keep up to date with Windows updates. This s*** integrate both within it. Also having a description of what the patch does for you ie. Fixing an exploit or adding a feature etc

Could be much better
Mixed bag - I can't rely on it with confidence at the end of the day to manage the computers that I need to manage.
PROSIt's integrated with the Avast Anti-virus console
CONS- It mentions that there are missing updates on computers when windows shows all updates as installed - pushing patches to computers rarely works and is often stuck
Reason for choosing Avast Business Patch Management
integration with the antivirus product but I am starting to regret that

A Good Concept
Overall, the software is helpful, and I will continue to use it, but it would certainly benefit in some refinements surrounding its execution of its tasks.
PROSPatch management software was easy to install and set up. Similarly, it is quite effective at identifying patches that are missing from my workstation.
CONSDeploying patches can sometimes be awkward: the system would benefit from more active prompts as to the progress of the download/installation, upcoming restart needed to continue, and whether remaining patches will be installed after the restart. The absence of this "live progress" data can make the update process confusing, as it sometimes appears the process has stalled. A new development, which I find quite annoying, is a pop-up window informing me that a restart of my system is needed to complete patch installations, once per day, almost every time I have started my computer. I start the computer and am immediately informed it must reboot. This is not a move in a positive direction: aside from being annoying, it is almost intrusive, and is very poorly timed.
Reason for choosing Avast Business Patch Management
I chose Avast Business Patch Management without comparing other products. I have long been a user of Avast security products on my personal computers; I believe wholly in its efficacy; and I am loyal to businesses that provide effective solutions.

Peace of mind for my organisation
One size fits all. Once installed we do not need to worry about possible breaches etc. Easy to get overview through the dashboard.
CONSPatch management is not quite up to speed, and i am getting many repeat error messages. Restart required should be able to be scheduled, and not always forced upon the users.

Generally very pleased with Avast Business Patch Management
Very positive in general. A little tweaking and without too much intervention on a daily basis, patch management is allowing my team to deal with real issues rather than updating software.
PROSAs the company grows with more and more remote users across 2 continents, we have begun to use Avast Patch Management more and more to 1) ensure and prove compliance with regulatory bodies and 2) make deploying updates to a wide variety of apps much easier.
CONSSome of the default settings we a little on the strict side for us, especially with rebooting machines after updates were installed - but this was easily rectified.

Windows is awesome...MAc support?
The windows support is easy to use and the price is very reasonable .
CONSThe lack of Mac support is very frustrating. This seems like a no brainer to add. We are a Mac shop and the support is not good.

Liked the patch management with AV it makes a lot of sense. Especially with the new cloud management platform.

Absolute Godsend - The software you didn't know you needed.
Having a centralised system for patch and virus management means I am happier with knowing our computers are protected.
PROSThis is one of the most important pieces of software we deploy to our windows server and workstations. It is so easy to use and means our systems are always patched which reduces the risk of exploitation. It is important for auditing purposes that this is automated for us, its one less thing to worry about, and the fact it is centrally managed is fantastic.
CONSI would like to be able to schedule restarts for at night.

Easy to use and manage
Avast is easy to use and manage when it comes to applying updates or installing the program on team devices. It rarely has any hiccups and seems to keep things protected well.
CONSThere's some difficulty in knowing how to add-on software to already purchased programs. It isn't clear what works with iOS vs Windows.

review Avast Business Patch Managament
See above
PROSAvast Business giv a nice overview. The Patch Mangament, if it reports correctly, that should be it.
CONSAt the dashboard right now I can read 28 patches missing (5 critical and 23 severity none). If I look at the page for Patches it reports nothing is missing. I have tryed to get input from you in order to understand it/use it correctly. Howeever I am still at square 1. They helped me to get it partly to work, or report correctly but like it is now it will not be implemented in our company totally (that was my intention)

Bad, non-functioning, not GA-ready feature sold as a product
Nothing to like it doesn't work. All reports are false and it doesn't do anything.
CONSEverything - it simply doesn't do anything - waste of time and money
