Joe M: Hi, I'm Joe, and I am a VP of new product development, rating this NordVPN product about four out of five stars. And for more reviews like this, just click below. We did a lot of research on the VPN security tools as the pandemic hit and we had to put a lot of employees working from home. I looked at McAfee and I looked at Norton, and while they seemed like good products, they were very pricey. We chose NordVPN over the others for several reasons. Number one is it has an amazing reputation, but more than that, it was substantially cheaper. I was able to get a two year deal, and I can't remember what the price was, but it was really somewhere about half the price of what the others were charging. And it was really, really easy to implement and is easy to use and easy to update. Onboarding and integrating the product was very easy. It was really a matter of once we purchased a product, sending a link to all of our employees, having them download it and create their user and their login and they were up and running. I would certainly recommend Nord to anybody who's in this ... looking for a service like this, especially a small company like ours. We are very cost conscious and these guys are really, really well-priced, and it works very, very well, simple to use.

Donald N: My name is Don. I'm a photographer, and I use AVG AntiVirus Business Edition. I give it a five out of five. I've been using McAfee before I used the AVG. I had McAfee, I was paying a monthly subscription and it ended up going up after one year. So over the past two years, I've been using the AVG Business Edition, and that's been my only virus protection program that I'm using currently since this past two years. My reason for choosing the AVG is because McAfee, the pricing kept changing. It was getting more expensive after the one year and then after when it got onto the two year mark and I just was hesitant to continue with it. Mainly based on the price and I just didn't really locked their practices of one time giving me a discount then the discount didn't last and I was just figuring that it was on a trend going up over time. So I said, I wanted something more stable as regard to price and where I could give to something that was just going to work best for me and then I have a clue of what to expect later. The onboarding was really easy. I just went on Google, I searched for AVG, and once I went to the website and I just put in some basic information about me and my company, just went ahead and set up the registration for it, downloaded it and it downloaded very quickly. It was easy to set up the scheduled scans and I was able to do quick scans, full scans, all that, and everything was laid out in a format to me that it was much simpler than McAfee. So just getting on there, getting set up and registered, it just went really quickly for me. It was very easy. I didn't have any trouble at all of setting it up, and I'm not having any issues just even remaining with it. Everything's been working properly and no frustration at all. Definitely recommend that people can sign up for it to see how easy it is and see for themselves that AVG does work well. It has the ability to scan and find viruses or threats to the computer. So whenever if that there was a threat detected, it'll let me know. And so just by using it, setting it up, and practicing with it is great. So I'd recommend just going for it and just seeing for yourself that it really does work. It's got easy format and it's definitely something that is worthwhile.
