My Thoughts
In my opinion, Avast has come to rescue in the field which was largely left barren by other major security software providers. Since this cloud antivirus management product is still in beta at the time of this writing, I experienced quite a few crashes of the management console. The cloud console was also very slow the respond and load. If you are running it on your system startup, make sure you give it a lot of time to start as it has quite a high impact on Windows startup.
