It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

I had G Data IS installed for 2 days - the product is fine. But it is resource-intensive in my opinion

If they could change their Engine -A to ESET which is low in fp's , their static detection would be "matured"
Their own Cloud + Close Gap + Cyren cloud based layer ( for faster outbreak detection) anyhow does the major part

A G Data continues with Bitdefender because it knows it's the best option, they don't need the Avira subscription to become better, the security modules are many and effective, in addition to Bitdefender they have their own engine (ClosedGap), they have the cloud , behavior blocker (one of the best on the market) and the DeepRay protection that when I tested it on the HUB proved to be very strong and active, G Data is a solid company, they don't mess with the team that is winning.Same as F-Secure They need to change that Bug Defender Engine with Avira
And always in my tests Bitdefender subscriptions were faster than Avira. That is, it makes no sense to leave a company that is one of the best in the world to go to another that has always been in decline and that was bought by another security company not for its potential, but for the number of fixed customers for the brand, Avira has unfortunately become a very bad security product and no light at the end of the tunnel.

Avira engine is terrible (bad detection of script malware, inadequate heuristic ability, and heavily rely on the Cloud) and is the main weakness of F-Secure. Avira’s malware analysis team is terrible, too. They even marked two MBR Lockers as “clean” twice!Same as F-Secure They need to change that Bug Defender Engine with Avira

Also i suspect their cloud is connected to Metadefender / Virustotal api .Since i have seen a pattern of suspicious .detections from early hour samples i collected were only detected by a handful of enterprise expert cyber companies (3-4) , were also getting blocked by APC upon execution.
Clearly some "api linked hash based scanner" is in use, however AVIRA is nevertheless a good monster signature giant. Their PUP / Joke / Scam tools detection is one of the best i have seen

Attack techniques change over time. There are an increasing number of fileless attacks in the wild. If Avira does not update its detection technologies, it will become obsolete.
G DATA always performs towards the lower end of the scale in lab tests of exploits, fileless, malicious scripts, and banking trojans. It's lab test record does not inspire confidence.

This is not true , always on top of the tests . Get your facts straight

G Data is a very good security package.
Always high in tests.

Completely wrong.
Gdata uses Bitdefender's engine, which is very well known in detection, and their own engine.
Having tested it yesterday in private, it gave me back a healthy machine even though I was not nice to it (RAT, Bot, VBS Script, Excel Exploit etc)
Everything was detected and quarantined.
He also has his BB which is BEAST and DeepRay which are excellent.
Please look at the MalwareTips tests, or test yourself before saying wrong things...

Great I know G Data won’t disappoint youI didn't film it, but I've planned a video test in the week
Not wrong at all. Just check out G DATA results at avlab.pl or others. G DATA always performs below average in properly designed and implemented professional antivirus lab tests.
G DATA worse than average for banking protection:
G DATA worse than average (almost the worst) for fileless malware:
MalwareHub is not professional testing. It is testing performed by non-professionals using amateur methodology.
Nobody is talking about signatures here. Detection by signature is a joke. Nobody can take any review seriously that emphasizes detection by signature.
