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.

Pros

"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization, and the centralized management system is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"My advice to others is this is a very good solution for email protection but for the EDR and SIEM, the integration is not at a high level."
"There are some great features in ESET Endpoint Antivirus when you are browsing on the internet, for example, they have a notification if within your LAN network something is suspected to be a threat and additionally, the malware features are very good."
"ESET provides good protection."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
 

Cons

"I want the command to be quicker."
"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"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."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."

"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
