"It is stable and scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."

"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It's a very user-friendly product."
"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 most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are that it is lightweight, it will not take up too much CPU and memory of the server or workstation. The detection is good and easy to use."
"The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat."
"The solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks."
"It is absolutely invisible once running."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."
"It is easy to manage."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"Dual management for the customer, who needs to access the local on-premise console from a remote cloud-based console."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"They could have more reports."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
