Cees Van Den Haak - PeerSpot reviewer
A product with an easy setup phase that helps manage attacks and vulnerabilities
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that you can manage and react to vulnerabilities and attacks on all the workstations or laptops. You can put certain workstations and isolation. With ESET PROTECT, you see only one machine that is protected, but with ESET Inspect, you see all the machines that are protected in an environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ESET Enterprise Inspector's greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, which allows for easy navigation and thorough analysis of incidents."
"I find the multilayered endpoint security the most valuable feature."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's most valuable feature is EDR."
"Rules are the most valuable feature of ESET Inspect. They are created through XML language, and they track and filter events from endpoints. If the event matches the rule, the rule is triggered. Exceptions are the second most valuable feature because it gives you the power to filter false positives in large numbers. The third most valuable feature is the Learning mode that facilitates making exceptions for known processes with a good reputation."
"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."
"The rules are the best and most useful features."
"The product's most valuable features are its performance and stability."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"The product is very easy to use."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"The content filtering options are good."
"Its customer service is quite good."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
 

Cons

"It is not a stable product. We were disappointed in the stability of this product in comparison to McAffee."
"The platform's price could be better."
"It may be difficult for a first-time customer to understand all of the functions that are available to him."
"Every vendor is working on making the job of SOC analysts easier, with fewer false positives and more precise detections. ESET uses LiveGrid technology that provides feedback on the reputation of files and operations. It's hard to eliminate all of the false positives, but hopefully, we'll see some improvement with the advances in AI."
"The product is complex to configure, and there are too many errors that are not errors, making it an area that can be considered for improvement."
"One area that needs improvement for the product is ransomware protection, which does not offer complete security."
"The solution could improve the consumption of resources. The RAM and CPU usage increases during usage which can cause issues. We have three separate services and it would be beneficial if all were executed from one agent limiting the over usage of system resources."
"There's room for improvement in customer service and support. The response time when I open a ticket or communicate with the vendor could be faster."
"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is expensive; it could be cheaper."
"The pricing and licensing are the big issue now, in my opinion. If the price was less than other companies, or a one-time charge for service was available, I think there would be more users of this solution."
"This is true in the case of licensing, we do not have the most expensive products, and we don't have the cheapest product, it's somewhere in the middle. Perhaps a little higher from the middle, but we are known for what we provide to our customers, and they are pleased."
"The platform's licensing is affordable and straightforward."
"I feel it is a very expensive product."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
