\n\tIn this edition of Five Apps, we take a look at five enterprise grade antivirus systems that fall just under that handful of major players. These five systems are among the myriad of systems available. The only requirement is that there is a centralized management console to manage and control the client-side software.
\n
\n\tFirst up is Avast! The admin console contains many tasks for admins to maintain and monitor their client systems.

\n\tEndpoints are easily discoverable by running a server-side task.

\n\tBuilding an installation package is easy – just check the boxes of the software pieces you want to include.

\n\tThe client software offers most common options to the end user or local admin.

\n\tThe Panda Security client software is very simple – just a notification center icon with some right-click options for system scans.

\n\tThe Webroot client, touted to be the smallest AV client in the world, offers some great statistics, including the amount of CPU time, memory, and average scan time.

\n\tRunning a scan – or checking on the status of the last one – is also very easy.
