For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable in that you pay for a license per device. If you need more licenses, you just buy them. That way, you can expand your coverage as needed. 

However, you cannot use a license on multiple devices. 

We have five users on the solution so far. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never used technical support. 

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

I did not previously use other solutions. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup is easy. It was preinstalled on the computer. It took two minutes to put it as "active," and it would start working.

You do not need anyone to manage deployment and maintenance tasks. 

What was our ROI?

We have witnessed an ROI in terms of security. It saves money by having users avoid recovery costs when a device is attacked. 

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

The product pricing is very reasonable.

You need to pay for a license for every device.

We pay an annual fee to use the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm likely using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

The software is stable and runs without any issues and users can check the actions that are taken and detected. It's easy to use. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Solid, thorough, and transparent behind the scenes
Pros and Cons
  • "It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
  • "I'm an end-user; from my experience, it's been solid, thorough, and transparent behind the scenes."
  • "I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We just use the solution for ongoing coverage and protection against malware. We have it on our machines, and we just let it do its thing. It does its scans, and there's real-time monitoring. It is basically for everyday use, we just put it on and let it go.

What is most valuable?

Overall, it's a good product. It's transparent. It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning. 

When something does come up that's problematic, it comes up with a popup and lets you decide whether to delete or quarantine.

The solution is stable. 

What needs improvement?

I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement. 

What we need is the same as what we would need with any other malware product. It's got to keep up to date with the latest threats, which they do. It's always an ongoing thing with endpoint protection or really with any kind of security, you've got to be up on the latest threats.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for at least a couple of years. It's likely been around four or so.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is perfect. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have not tried to scale the product. I wouldn't know if it scales. 

We have 20 employees on the product right now and about 15 endpoints. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never used technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

How was the initial setup?

I'm not the network admin and therefore did not deal with the latest setup.

We have a network administrator that handles any necessary maintenance. 

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

I don't deal with licensing. I'm not sure as to what it costs. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm an end-user.

From my experience, it's been solid, thorough, and transparent behind the scenes. It just does its thing. I'm very happy with it.

I would recommend it. I'd rate it nine out of ten.

Responsive technical support, scalability with small customers well defined, with a good interface
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is good and has a good interface."
  • "Technical support is very good and so far they have been very helpful and they resolved our problems in several hours."
  • "Dual management for the customer, who needs to access the local on-premise console from a remote cloud-based console."
  • "The deployment is complex and not very easy to use for most people; you need to be a well-informed IT person for deployment."

What is most valuable?

The normal security tracking and the real-time warning of viruses or possible threats. We have not currently used the Dynamic Scanner option to set it up for their servers to be checked, but we are planning on activating that on some of our computers. The reports and the data received by the ESET console to feed also our order management tools. The CMDB that we use and have a unique solution, a unique point that oversees all the solutions we have.

What needs improvement?

The price could be a little lower and the deployment process could be easier.
Dual management for the customer, who needs to access the local on-premise console from a remote cloud-based console.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ESET Endpoint Security for the past few months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not had any issues with the stability of ESET Endpoint Security.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We are currently happy with the scalability of ESET Endpoint Security.  We are using it with some of our small customers and are not having any issues.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is very good. Well, truthfully, we did not have any big issues, so we do not know if there is a real case, or what would happen, but so far, they have been very helpful and they resolved our problems in several hours.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment is complex and not very easy to use for most people. You need to be a well-informed IT person for deployment.

What about the implementation team?

The product is good. It has a good interface, but it was not as straightforward as we expected to deploy to the first computers, compared, for example, to the Kaspersky Security Center. You have complete many steps to manage to deploy it. Kaspersky was more efficient, more, let's call it, Adobe-proof.

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

We found good pricing because we did a trade-off between Kaspersky to ESET.  They were very helpful to gain a customer at this moment in time, but the full price is probably a little higher than most other solutions.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I think that from the user perspective, it is very similar to Kaspersky. They don't have major differences. Maybe ESET has the Dynamic Scanner option which is something that Kaspersky does not have. That might be a plus towards the Zero-day issues that can come over, but so far, we did not have any use for it. We hope not to have any needs, even in the future.

What other advice do I have?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

A generally good product with helpful support and quick bug fixes
Pros and Cons
  • "The stability is good."
  • "Technical support has been very helpful and responsive."

  • "There tend to be a lot of bugs, although they do work to fix them."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for security. It's for software protection.

What is most valuable?

The integration is good with Elasticsearch.

It's a so-so product. It works okay.

When there are bugs, they get fixed quickly.

The stability is good. 

Technical support has been very helpful and responsive. 

What needs improvement?

It's not a top-ten product. However, it works fine. 

The deployment could be a bit better. We'd like the possibility of a software install in the server segment as well as the user segment PC.

There tend to be a lot of bugs, although they do work to fix them.

We do get false positives. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for six or seven months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution does have a lot of bugs. the vendors try to do a good job to deal with them. They do a lot of updates and fixes. Otherwise, it is pretty stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 4,000 people using the solution currently. Various people from different departments are on it. 

How are customer service and support?

I've dealt with technical support and find them to be helpful. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We are using ESET on-premises, WatchGuard in a hybrid deployment, and Tenable.io as a cloud deployment.

In terms of similar solutions, I used to use CrowdStrike, and we use Cisco AMP. We've been using Symantec as well. 

How was the initial setup?

We would like the deployment to be a bit better.

However, I'm an IT specialist and don't deal with the setup. That's a different department. It was also set up before I arrived at the company. 

I'm not sure if the deployment can be handled by one person or not. I'm not involved in the maintenance aspect.

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

The solution's cost is not something I have direct knowledge of. I don't deal with licensing. 

What other advice do I have?

We're an ESET partner.

I'm using the latest version of the product right now. 

I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a very small product.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Light on system resources, highly stable and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is that it is light on resources. It has a very low impact on the system. It uses low memory and the setup size is very low."
  • "ESET Endpoint Security is valuable for the money spent because it is lightweight on the system, and we don't need to upgrade existing systems or resources, such as CPUs and memory, as even older systems can run efficiently or function as required."
  • "After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
