Avast for Business just made life easier and saved money for administrator Dale Kvittem-Barr at Peace Lutheran Church and School.

Avast for Business simplified a private school’s security management – for Free!

Schools house a large quantity of sensitive data and Kvittem-Barr knows that security software is a must. But, managing 50 devices is a challenge.

“When I started here, we had Norton and each computer had its own individual license. It was a nightmare. I switched all of the school’s computers to the free Avast consumer product. When I heard there was a free business solution and that it had a centralized management dashboard I knew we had to have it.”

With Avast for Business, Kvittem-Barr no longer has multiple licenses to manage and he can see his entire network anytime, anywhere.

“The cloud-based system makes sense because the entire network can be updated constantly from the dashboard so I don’t have to run around to every computer anymore.”

For his mixed platform networks, Kvittem-Barr says Avast for Business just works for him.

“We have Macs and PCs so to be able to protect them both with the same console is great!”

And the software keeps him continuously informed about threats to the school.

“The notifications have been really helpful because I can see which computers are being hit harder than others and make sure I focus on those.”

Budget is an issue for all schools and Kvittem-Barr said that his school’s savings with Avast for Business were substantial. As for plans to spend the savings he says,

“Yeah, we were actually able to purchase a lot more computers and a device charging cart.”
