Walter Fang - PeerSpot reviewer
A very stable tool that offers security and protection, along with automatic updates
The product's initial setup was very straightforward. When it comes to the time taken for the deployment part of 360 Safeguard, once in the back-end, the tool normally shows a message and shows the upgrade or whatever is running the back-end that I might not have noticed. The solution is deployed on the cloud. I could not even notice the deployment process because I think it just somehow showed up in my system one day, and it worked with my Windows system very smoothly and seamlessly. When I install Windows Office and choose Office 365, I see 360 Safeguard installed.

Protects against threats and helps with ransomeware but needs optimization for lower resource usage
We are using ESET products for our clients, especially for entry-level protection tools. The demand for these tools is primarily coming from our clients, and we sometimes propose them to our clients as well We install the product in a standard way as a product. The primary purpose is to protect…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN."
"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The pricing, if compared to other products, is cheap."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"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."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation."
"The primary purpose is to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
 

Cons

"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"The web center in 360 Safeguard could be better, so this is its area for improvement. 360 Safeguard could be more scalable, especially for big businesses."
"ESET should consider giving it application control."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus can improve by having better EDR intelligence and automation. The EDR still needs lots of human interpretation. It can be better if add more intelligence to the EDR part of the endpoint protection."
"We do get false positives."
"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."
"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"The software has room for improvement in terms of CPU and other resource usage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I bought a license — it's quite cheap. It's definitely cheaper than an American product. It costs approximately $40 a year."
"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
"I think it's available for a pretty fair price. If you know how to use it, then it's a very fair price for what you get."
"The cost is a very reasonable. When compared with other products, the price is low (though not very low)."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
"I rate the product's price as seven or eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"It's a cost-effective product"
