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 pretty easy to deploy. Its update definition file is small, so it can dispatch very quickly within the enterprise. The product itself is very lightweight, so it won't delay your endpoint. You also don't have to do any difficult configuration because it comes with a very good default setting. So, you just install it and forget it."
"The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources."
"The solution is stable."
"I'm an end-user; from my experience, it's been solid, thorough, and transparent behind the scenes."
"The support team deserves a rating of 10 out of 10."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
 

Cons

"We had the encryption capabilities in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform; however, we disabled that and use BitLocker because we noticed that the performance of our machines degraded by about 20%."
"ESET requires a yearly license fee. That license fee is significant for SOHO users."
"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."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"I think the product support is very bad."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
"Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or 36 months."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and the price depends on the features you want to use. The overall price is reasonable."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the other products out there. It is definitely in line with the competition."
"The price could be a little lower."
"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
