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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
 

Cons

"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."
"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"The management console could be improved. Sometimes, agents lose connection with the management console, and the administration team needs to reinstall the agents on the computers."
"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."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"When it first starts up, it takes a lot of processing power when the machine is initially booted. Improving the startup side could be beneficial."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
"I bought a license — it's quite cheap. It's definitely cheaper than an American product. It costs approximately $40 a year."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
