Avira SmallBusiness Suite is another good internet security solution for small businesses, providing the essential protection for desktop workstations, file server, and exchange server. In fact, the suite is composed of Avira AntiVir Professional, AntiVir Server, AntiVir Exchange + AntiSpam, and the Avira Security Management Center. These components work together to protect your company on several layers.

While Avira SmallBusiness Suite is a good security solution, it does come at a higher price-tag than the other products we reviewed for the same level of protection, and isn’t as impressive as some of our higher ranked suites.

Firewall:   Excellent

Avira SmallBusiness Suite offers a number of layers of protection for your small business. Unfortunately, the solution does not implement a traditional firewall.

Antivirus:   Excellent

You don’t have to worry about viruses and a variety of other malware while using Avira. The SmallBusiness Suite utilizes a good antivirus kernel, real-time web traffic monitoring, and rootkit detection. The Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection (AHeAD) technology take a proactive approach, locating malware that attempts to hide it’s true identity and intent to bypass security software.

Antivirus protection isn’t just available for the workstation PCs network wide, but also for your file servers and exchange servers. Avira is even equipped to automatically detect archive files and utilize advanced technology to scan the deepest files on your system (with recursion depth adjustments).

Antispyware:   Excellent

Avira effectively detects and protects from spyware and adware, malicious programs intending to steal identifying information and/or business information. Avira SmallBusiness Suite also includes advanced protection from rootkits, and even has repair functionality.

Email protection for your entire company is made possible with AntiVir Exchange. The software scans all emails (inbound and outbound) in real-time, and is quite versatile with various configurations. AntiVir Exchange even scans email attachments, including compressed files.
