Simple to use, easy to transfer to new endpoints, and reasonably priced
Pros and Cons
  • "The product does not slow down the machine."
  • "There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs."

What is our primary use case?

I'm primarily using the solution as an antivirus at home. It is a form of endpoint security.

What is most valuable?

Being in IT, I understand the importance of having security. This works well for me. It's easier to use than other options, for example, McAfee.

The product does not slow down the machine.

It's very simple, and I have no issues with it. It does what it needs to do. It's clean.

The solution offers good protection.

It alerts me when Windows needs to be updated. The product lets me know every time there's a Windows update, I need to go through it to make sure that all the patches are done.

It is easy to set up. 

It is stable. 

The pricing is very reasonable.

What needs improvement?

There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for four to five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. It's active in the back end without slowing me down. I haven't had any stability issues. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm only using it at home for personal use. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never needed to contact technical support. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I'm also familiar with McAfee. I've also used Norton in the past. They tend to slow down machines. 

How was the initial setup?

The deployment is very fast. It takes maybe five minutes, depending on the download speed. It's pretty easy to implement. It's not complex. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive. I do a two or three-year license for less than $100. I tend to wait for a promotion to get a discount. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's easy to use. It's easy to deactivate an endpoint and add a new one. The license carries over to the new machine with ease. If I buy a new machine tomorrow, I can just transfer over my ESET. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. They are excellent in many areas.

Lacking visability and management, but scales well
Pros and Cons
  • "ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable."
  • "The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints."

What is our primary use case?

We are using ESET Endpoint Security for monitoring our devices for security threats.

What needs improvement?

The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 800 endpoint users using this solution.

The scalability of ESET Endpoint Security is good.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used the support from ESET Endpoint Security.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not used other solutions prior to ESET Endpoint Security.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment time depends on how many devices the user has. It typically can be done in one day.

What about the implementation team?

I did the deployment of the solution with a team of three.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did evaluate other solutions before choosing ESET Endpoint Security.

What other advice do I have?

We have three people that do the maintenance of the solution.

I would not recommend this solution depending on the company and the number of employees using it.

Competitive and consistently updated to prevent attacks successfully
Pros and Cons
  • "The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks."
  • "I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution mainly for devices, for antivirus. It also has a firewall that's the extra layer of protection besides the 40-bit file.

We also have a console that we can monitor and get alerts if a certain device is attacked. If there is an attack, we quarantine or upgrade.

We have not had problems with the solution. Whenever we were attacked, it would protect our devices.

What is most valuable?

The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks.

We set up our devices to update on a daily basis. We also run our weekly scan each week. Doing it this way, we never had any problems.

What needs improvement?

I would say this product can be improved if it fully protected everything like consolidated.

I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

My impression is that it is a very stable solution because we've been using it for ten years and are very happy with it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability varies because there are lots of different packages. They have antivirus, Endpoint Security, and many different versions. They also have up to personal and student licenses. So it is very flexible.

How are customer service and support?

We work with the third-party partner that we were recommended by ESET. We have always worked with these guys and they have always been on the ground whenever they are needed. They have always assisted and came through for us.

I would say the customer service is excellent.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously we used Norton Antivirus. If I remember correctly, some incidents happened then and we lost confidence in them. That's why we moved to ESET.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

What about the implementation team?

When you use these solutions, you always have to go through a partner. So, because we were going through a partner, they were the ones who helped us deploy it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would rate ESET's pricing plan an eight out of ten, with one being cheap and 10 being expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution because it's quite stable and it does what it's supposed to do and that's good enough.

We have used this solution both personally and in our organization. At one point, we actually had up to 100 users connected using ESET.

I would rate ESET as an overall product, an eight out of ten.

Reasonably priced, good support, and quite light
Pros and Cons
  • "It can scale as well."
  • "The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
  • "When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."
  • "When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."

What is our primary use case?

This is a security solution and it is used to protect all of the client's systems. It is for data protection.

What is most valuable?

It's not using too much system capacity or memory. It's quite light. It's like there's nothing on the PC, yet it's working there behind the scenes. 

From my side, the best thing is the support from ESET headquarters. When we have a problem in two hours or three hours, we find a solution via ESET.

It is stable. 

It can scale as well. 

The pricing is reasonable.

What needs improvement?

There is no such thing as a 100% secure system. That said, the main problems are coming from the users and how they use the system, including how they open emails, go to the internet, et cetera. Maybe if they have a firewall system paired with ESET, so there are not as many concerns around the security of the WAN, that would be better. 

We hope that they can learn from and react to threats faster so that we are more protected in the future as new items arise. They need to update the system faster to ensure security is there in the case of new events. 

When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been dealing with the solution since 2016. I've used it for seven years now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have two companies here we've contracted with. One is with 750 computers and another one is with 100 PCs. 

The solution can scale. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is really good. they are helpful, fast, and responsive. 

That said, sometimes, when we have a problem, we need a quick response, and they have many things to do on their side, so it can take two or three hours sometimes to get a reply from them.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

It's quite simple to set up. People sometimes don't want to make much effort, however, technically, it's quite simple to implement the solution. They can do it themselves, yet we are always there, ready to install the solution.

How many people we need to deploy the solution depends. In the beginning, we can use one engineer to deploy the solution. However, it depends on the number of computers. If we install it on about ten PCs, for example, we can also handle the training for the local IT people who can then make the installation.

We do not normally handle the maintenance afterward. However, depending on the contract, we can assist with support. Usually, we have two engineers that can assist our clients if they need help.

What about the implementation team?

We can install the solution for clients. 

What was our ROI?

The ROI is high since using the product can avoid many problems. I'd rate the ROI five out of five. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price is good when you compare it to other solutions. That said, when the client needs to renew the license for the next year, it is the same price. Maybe they can do a discount for renewing the license. That would make it more attractive.

The license is annual. Users can also choose to do a three-year license. 

If a client needs extra features, we need to discuss locally so we understand how we can help the customer and how much it will cost.

I'd rate it four out of five in terms of affordability, with one point taken off for issues around renewing the license. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I've been looking into SentinelOne.

What other advice do I have?

I'm a reseller. We are selling, installing, and doing training for the users.

We deal with the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good API integration, user-friendly user interface, and easy installation
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
  • "The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
  • "The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
  • "I would rate the pricing a three out of five. It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus.

I believe I can find it in the most recent version in a sandbox. Network Security in a Sandbox It includes seven different tools, including network security, IPS/IDS, and ESET which is also valuable.

It is easy to use.

The user interface is very easy. 

API integration is good. 

They have an iteration tool that makes the API connection flawless.

What needs improvement?

I don't see changing EDR in the cloud's future. Tool for being proactive. The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future. But, proactive is excellent.

I would like to see ESET include the Proactive feature. The process is killed by decision support. Unplug the endpoint book station from the network.

If you do not use Cynet, it must be added to ESET Endpoint.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have worked with ESET Endpoint Security for five years.

I have a three-year service agreement with ESET to sell green. It's been three years, and I believe it's near the end of the year. 

 I have no issues with ESET; it's the workstation's ESET and Cynet. I believe are perfect solutions.

I am working with EDR, it's a full version. We have updated it to the latest version.

It is a central update, it's cloud maintenance.

Because I do not have any sensitive data, it is sufficient to use the public cloud.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ESET Endpoint Security is very stable.

All of the update releases are very established.

I would rate the stability a nine, or ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have not experimented with scalability.

With servers, we have approximately 3, 000 users in my department. This includes the hardware and virtual servers.

How are customer service and support?

We have no issues with the local technical support team that we use in Israel.

I would rate them a five out of five.

They are excellent. 

They respond quickly and speak the language, which is beneficial.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I am working with a new Endpoint Security Company, and the name of the product is Cynet.

I am still working with Cynet.

Instead of Cynet, it is an EDR. It is now extended XDR. It is an extended response.

For Endpoint Security, I use both ESET and Cynet. However, unlike ESET, Cynet is a proactive tool. MDR is included. It is also paired with SOC.

One of the companies I oversee is one of the Mator company's branches, and they use Cisco Endpoint Security, which is a terrible tool when compared to ESET or Cynet.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple.

We require one person a few hours per month for maintenance.

I have about 3,000 endpoints and a three-person IT team.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I have purchased the full version.

I would rate the pricing a three out of five.

It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive. There is room for improvement, and the price could be lower.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate ESET Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

Excellent protection with good tutorials and helpful documentation
Pros and Cons
  • "I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
  • "The protection and security have been great."
  • "I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it."
  • "Sometimes it is not running as well. When it actually doesn't work properly, then the whole process of reinstalling it is more or less a tedious task."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for security reasons, including for protection against antiviruses.

What is most valuable?

The protection and security have been great.

I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer.

There are good documentation and tutorial materials.

It's scalable. 

What needs improvement?

Right now, the link between the Protect Server and the proxy features don't really work as intended. 

I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it. 

If those features can be worked on, that would be very helpful.

A bit more remote access would be ideal. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution since about 2012. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Sometimes it is not running as well. When it actually doesn't work properly, then the whole process of reinstalling it is more or less a tedious task. If they could actually work on that and make it a lot better, that would be good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is the only one I've ever known so far in terms of such deployment. I'm not comparing it with any other solutions. I love the control that it gives you on even on a large scale. When we deployed now to over 100 users and it worked well. For us, it is scalable. 

Right now, we're up to 120 machines. It keeps increasing and therefore we will increase usage. 

How are customer service and support?

I don't really deal with support. I mostly do my own research. I've never had to engage with support with the access I have to tutorials and documentation.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution. 

How was the initial setup?

It's a little bit complicated to set up. Even the deployment process for the endpoint that's deployed through GPO. Obviously, when you have the agent deployment is quite a challenge, so it just doesn't work as a straightforward deployment. You want the endpoint antivirus to be able to talk with the Protect Server. However, it's the deployment that's a bit of a challenge.

I'd rate it four out of five in terms of the ease of setup. 

The deployment takes longer than we anticipated. 

What about the implementation team?

I just did the initial setup myself in-house.

What was our ROI?

I haven't witnessed an ROI. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I was put on an educational discount. I paid about $1000. I'd have to look through my records. However, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product. I pay for the product every two years. There are no extra costs or fees beyond the licensing. 

What other advice do I have?

I'd advise others to use the solution. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten since I have yet to experience any intrusion. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
