Unified visibility has improved security monitoring and simplifies compliance across environments

The best features Armor Anywhere offers are definitely the centralized visibility and managed security layer. Having a single dashboard to see security posture across environments is a big advantage. The centralized dashboard enables us to get better visibility in a UI form. It also helps with compliance reporting for audits and reviews. Overall, it improves the security posture and reduces operational overhead for the team. We've seen faster incident response times and fewer false alerts because of the automation and integration. From a compliance standpoint, it has helped us maintain consistent controls and simplified reporting for audits because of the automation. Overall, Armor Anywhere has helped us improve our overall security posture. It provides a solid, reliable cloud security solution which works across our hybrid environments and on-premises as well. It has provided us a good balance of compliance and monitoring, simplified our security across environments, while giving us great visibility on all things.

Provides comprehensive monitoring and policy implementation with room for memory optimization

ESET PROTECT Enterprise makes the system a little slow sometimes and updates occur at startup. Sometimes unwanted pop-ups appear to users, and they are unable to disable them. The user-friendliness is lacking in some areas. When users are using any computer, ESET PROTECT Enterprise should work in the background without consuming much memory, and any updates should proceed in the background without disturbing the user.

Pros

"Overall, Armor Anywhere has helped us improve our overall security posture; it provides a solid, reliable cloud security solution which works across our hybrid environments and on-premises as well, providing a good balance of compliance and monitoring while simplifying our security across environments and giving us great visibility on all things."

"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."

"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."

"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."

"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise pros

Cons

"There is not much to dislike about Armor Anywhere, but the dashboard could be more customizable for different team roles."

"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."

"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."

"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."

"The tool is complex and expensive."

"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."

"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."

"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."

"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
