ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Reviews

The CLI Scanning is used for scanning our corporate storage (endpoint) for malware that our onboard scanner (MS Endpoint) misses.  

Personal experience with the real-time scanner was excellent and we wanted to create a second layer of detection on our systems, without going through the expense and trouble of running a second AV on our systems.

On notification of a potential malware issue via FireEye, or PaloAlto, we launch a scan against the endpoint C$ share and the user's network drive.  

Automatic cleaning is enabled, and often finds the malware the MSEPP has missed, plus additional malware.  

We use app locker to prevent execution of downloaded malware so ESET is simply used to clean up after the fact.

From our perspective, no real issues with the application.  

Personally, I use it on my desktop/laptop/tablet and have had no issues with signature or application updates.  

I hope to convince our Application team to adopt it over our MSEPP solution but due to the difference in price, it's not likely.

We haven't had any issues with deployment.

We haven't had any issues with stability.

We haven't had any issues with scalability.

The application runs in the background without a noticeable impact on my laptop. In 3 years of use, there have been no infections (as far as I know...). The application is being put to the test, as about once a week I get a notification from ESET of another virus that was detected and quarantined. ESET's operation is in stark contrast to another popular security firewall that I tried 3 years ago before choosing ESET. That 'other' firewall noticeably slowed all other applications, forcing me to remove it.In anycase, my experience with ESET has been good so far.

ESET requires a yearly license fee. That license fee is significant for SOHO users. Users considering a purchase should look at both performance and license pricing of the top vendors before making a decision. The ESET license price is discounted only if one is willing to purchase a 3-year license. That's a long time window for a PC, in my opinion.

Resource use is very impressive as it has smallest impact on CPU and RAM.Provided features are ThreatSense technology, Antispyware, Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS), Cloud-Enhanced Whitelisting, Antispam, Intelligent firewall, Gamer mode and Parental controls which are more than enough for appropriate security and protection.Control interface is clear and easy to use with main items available in the left had pane.SysInspector is available for advanced users to look at active processes, critical files, network connections and drivers to identify any unwanted programs affecting the system.

Malware detection is good but repairing is not always up to the markInitial scan is slow

ESET Smart Security protects your computer against real world threats and malware attacks and provides added security layer with spam filtering, firewall and parental control.

- guard against any threats that you are on social networks, in sailing, work, play online or exchange data via removable media. - The program is classified among the first in the field of protection and the most competitive. - Detects viruses and then destroys them professionally - saves battery for your laptop because it is not greedy with the RAM and CPU - protection for three PCs with just one license

- problem with updating Zonealarm (at time) - vulnerability protection mode is only for 32-bits of architecture - difficult to uninstall - It has a very inconvenient way of activating the beta NIS when you have to type in the key

I used Norton Internet Security Suite two years ago. I remarked that the improvement and protection tool, specifically in version 2012, should have included a professional panel, like putting in a restore point of the total system. It is not very greedy with the RAM and processor, which allows you to save battery.

We use ESET Endpoint Security for system protection.

The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints.

I have been using ESET Endpoint Security for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

ESET Endpoint Security can scale and it is easy to do.

The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security was not complex because we have five years of experience. However, it is not as easy if we did not have the experience.

I rate ESET Endpoint Security a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for the endpoint protection of our clients. It is deployed across multiple locations including our headquarters, construction yard, and airport operation centers.

We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms.

The fact that this solution runs in the background without consuming system resources has been the most useful. 

It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release. 

I have used this solution for seven months. 

This is a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We implemented this solution using our in-house team. It only took a few days. 

This is not an expensive solution. 

We looked into using Trend Micro but the service was terrible.

We have also worked with Symantec when it has been installed with certain clients. This is also a good solution but does consume additional resources in the background.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

We use ESET Endpoint Security for many things, it has a lot of functionality. For example, it can be used for device control, secure browser access, URL control, web access protection, and anti-spam.

The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation.

They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading.

I have been using this solution within the last 12 months.

ESET Endpoint Security is stable.

I have found the solution scalable. If there are any bugs or glitches they are normally fixed fast in a patch release.

We have approximately 5,000 users using this solution.

The technical support is very knowledgeable, and the response time is also what is expected.

The installation is easy and it takes only a short time. If you have access to the Active Directory then it is simple.

The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors.

I would recommend this solution to others

I rate ESET Endpoint Security a ten out of ten.
