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.

Comprehensive solution manages diverse security policies and enhances organizational network protection
The best features of ESET PROTECT Enterprise include its unique platform that allows me to manage firewall policies based on license type. Depending on the license, I can apply different policies across a range of IPs to ensure network safety. Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent. I can configure rules and receive email notifications about vulnerabilities. For instance, ESET LiveGuard checks all devices, identifying issues when vulnerabilities are found and alerting me promptly. ESET PROTECT Enterprise reporting and auditing features help my customers meet compliance requirements by allowing me to apply various security policies across their companies, ensuring their devices remain secure. ESET PROTECT Enterprise has EDR endpoint detection and response capabilities that have helped reduce security incidents for my customers. Although it's not the best EDR, ESET LiveGuard constantly monitors devices, effectively identifying and stopping threats such as ransomware. The product is an antivirus, specifically ESET PROTECT Enterprise, which provides solid protection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN."
"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
 

Cons

"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."
"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Its automation can be improved."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I bought a license — it's quite cheap. It's definitely cheaper than an American product. It costs approximately $40 a year."
"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
