A very stable tool that offers security and protection, along with automatic updates
The product's initial setup was very straightforward. When it comes to the time taken for the deployment part of 360 Safeguard, once in the back-end, the tool normally shows a message and shows the upgrade or whatever is running the back-end that I might not have noticed. The solution is deployed on the cloud. I could not even notice the deployment process because I think it just somehow showed up in my system one day, and it worked with my Windows system very smoothly and seamlessly. When I install Windows Office and choose Office 365, I see 360 Safeguard installed.

Cloud-based protection has simplified daily client support and keeps threats under control
The problems that we are facing with policy adoption include slow adoption, as it takes more than five minutes to adopt policy on client computers. ESET Network Attack Protection sometimes helps in reducing network-level intrusions, but sometimes it prevents local devices on the network, which are well-known and good devices, from being recognized, treating them as a threat. So it requires more administration than usual. ESET could implement a good solution for remote support in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform for improvement in the future. Since you have the cloud console, ESET could have something similar to AnyDesk or TeamViewer, but from ESET.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"I love it; it seems to have everything I wanted, and it does a good job."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"Ransomware protection is embedded in the solution."
"If you use ESET Antivirus Security with ESET ERA Server as a middle computer in your network, you can manage all features and updates from one place."
"The product offers great reporting tools"
"We use ESET Endpoint Security for many things, it has a lot of functionality, for example, it can be used for device control, secure browser access, URL control, web access protection, and anti-spam."
"The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
 

Cons

"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"The web center in 360 Safeguard could be better, so this is its area for improvement. 360 Safeguard could be more scalable, especially for big businesses."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"It is somewhat scalable. However, if you need just a few licenses, you sometimes have to buy more than you need."
"With ESET deployment there is an appliance; it's a virtual appliance, a network appliance, and we had some difficulties when I tried to get that virtual appliance to utilize our internal certificate authority, and we couldn't find any documentation or useful help from the company."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus can improve by having better EDR intelligence and automation. The EDR still needs lots of human interpretation. It can be better if add more intelligence to the EDR part of the endpoint protection."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"Based on our organization, it is not that reliable."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
"I bought a license — it's quite cheap. It's definitely cheaper than an American product. It costs approximately $40 a year."
"I think it's available for a pretty fair price. If you know how to use it, then it's a very fair price for what you get."
"Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or 36 months."
"The cost is a very reasonable. When compared with other products, the price is low (though not very low)."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"This is not an expensive product."
"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"It is subjective. I don't think it is expensive. If you can have 10 user licenses for less than $100, I don't think it is expensive."
"Currently, we are running on a three-year license. The pricing might be around $20,000. There aren't any costs above the standard licensing fee."
