Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.
Louis Geoffroy - PeerSpot reviewer
It's easy to use and set up, but I've faced performance problems
I have experience with Quad9 and most other filtering solutions. Quad9 was working well initially, but it started slowing, so I switched to OpenDNS. I recently checked Tom's Hardware, an IT review site, and read a review of seven DNS filters. Open DNS was ranked the fastest, and Quad9 was second. Google was on there too, but they said it didn't filter enough.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"The most valuable feature of Quad9 is that it is a free solution."
"Setting up Quad9 is straightforward if you know what you're doing, and it's easy to use overall."
 

Cons

"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."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"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."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"It used to work fine for all the devices, but it started to slow and become non-responsive. I would have to reload the page two or three times before all the pages loaded. With OpenDNS, I only need to load the page once."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free version."
"I am using the free version of Avast."
"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."
"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."
"There are no costs other than licensing."
"The price of Quad9 is free."
