ESET Protect console has everything thet endpoint clients have - inteligent, clever functionalities, lots of features, stability, scalability, fastness and small system footprint
I rate ESET Protect 10 out of 10 for ease of setup. I've used it for 16 years, so I know the solution well. Customers love that I can finish the installation in a few hours. When we set the policies, tasks, groups, and packages, and test everything, the rest is easy. ESET Protect is a proven product, built for the last 35 years, brushed, and polished to perfection. Customers rarely see malfunctioning, and if it happens, support will take care of it immediately. There are five different methods to deploy protection on endpoints, with the ability to set the smallest detail in the process. And pretty much everything works flawlessly. There are no limitations to the number of distribution points, number of administrators, configurations of permission sets, or anything that can interfere with the solution's scalability. The deployment time depends on the network size. From a few hours for the network of 30 endpoints, including the ESET Protect server deployment, to a few days if you have thousands of endpoints and other solutions that need removal.

Simple to implement and quick and easy to configure
The organization needed to establish a high level of protection based on first-generation and last-generation technologies according to the demand of the different providers.  We came to the conclusion that we need protection that complies with solutions and standards that allow us to establish…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
More ESET PROTECT Enterprise pros
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."
"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."
"It is quick and easy to configure."
"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."
More ZoneAlarm pros
 

Cons

"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"Its automation can be improved."
More ESET PROTECT Enterprise cons
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."
"The support is not always so effective."
"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."
"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."
"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
More ZoneAlarm cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."
"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."
"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."
