"The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed."

"It is a great, cost-effective, and stable security solution to opt for."
"Its most valuable feature is the integration of analytics with the cloud."
"We like the sandbox feature."
"There is almost no impact on the security Gateway/Cluster performance after the activation of the blade, especially if you don't scan nested archives."
"It has blocked many malware attacks aiming to corrupt and damage company data."
"Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network."
"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past."
"The solution is stable."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"There are some great features in ESET Endpoint Antivirus when you are browsing on the internet. For example, they have a notification if within your LAN network something is suspected to be a threat. Additionally, the malware features are very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"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 antivirus could be improved in terms of the resources it consumes, particularly regarding CPU and memory usage. We've encountered issues with some of our firewalls, leading us to turn off the antivirus feature due to its heavy resource consumption."
"The SLA is slow."
"The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line."
"I would prefer it if this solution was cheaper for everybody to buy it and enjoy these wonderful and distinguished characteristics."
"We would like to see better guides in the future with more concrete examples of the best practices."
"They must focus on performance and efficiency since this tool sometimes consumes many machine resources and leads to machine performance problems."
"I'm not very happy with the support, even in terms of the website. They don't offer much."
"I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. They should also consider the price so that many people will go for the solution."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"On the solution's website, it is sometimes difficult to figure out how to download the exact product associated with your purchased license."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"The adware module could be improved."
"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."
"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
