It's highly likely that "business-class" antivirus is the same code sold at 100x the price.

It's also highly unlikely that the teams putting out shitty consumer-facing antivirus magically write awesome code for the enterprise versions.

Generally the AV engine will be the same, but the management tools are more corporate-friendly (remote management and group policies, etc.)
