Security needs improvement and email scanning features are not included
The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning. There are many options that are not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use separate applications for different internet applications or for different internet scanning. This is why we cannot use it. I would like to see additional features such as email scanning, which should be included, or malware detections, and other cybersecurity features should be included. It could also be more secure.

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

"It is easy to install."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."
"The primary purpose is to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"The stability is great."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
 

Cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"The software has room for improvement in terms of CPU and other resource usage."
"The solution could improve by having higher-level security and reporting."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"The update process can be improved, and there could be an automatic update process when a new version comes out. For system updates or program updates, there could be more automation."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licensing fees."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors."
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is affordable."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"This is not an expensive solution."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
