Comprehensive solution manages diverse security policies and enhances organizational network protection
The best features of ESET PROTECT Enterprise include its unique platform that allows me to manage firewall policies based on license type. Depending on the license, I can apply different policies across a range of IPs to ensure network safety. Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent. I can configure rules and receive email notifications about vulnerabilities. For instance, ESET LiveGuard checks all devices, identifying issues when vulnerabilities are found and alerting me promptly. ESET PROTECT Enterprise reporting and auditing features help my customers meet compliance requirements by allowing me to apply various security policies across their companies, ensuring their devices remain secure. ESET PROTECT Enterprise has EDR endpoint detection and response capabilities that have helped reduce security incidents for my customers. Although it's not the best EDR, ESET LiveGuard constantly monitors devices, effectively identifying and stopping threats such as ransomware. The product is an antivirus, specifically ESET PROTECT Enterprise, which provides solid protection.

Easy to setup and stable solution

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"It does everything we need it to do and it's easy to use."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"From my personal perspective, it is easy to see on the console what's happening with each system."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"The management console could be improved. Sometimes, agents lose connection with the management console, and the administration team needs to reinstall the agents on the computers."
"Its automation can be improved."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
