Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization
Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

Cloud-based protection has simplified daily client support and keeps threats under control
The problems that we are facing with policy adoption include slow adoption, as it takes more than five minutes to adopt policy on client computers. ESET Network Attack Protection sometimes helps in reducing network-level intrusions, but sometimes it prevents local devices on the network, which are well-known and good devices, from being recognized, treating them as a threat. So it requires more administration than usual. ESET could implement a good solution for remote support in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform for improvement in the future. Since you have the cloud console, ESET could have something similar to AnyDesk or TeamViewer, but from ESET.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"The solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable."
"The inspection feature allows complete monitoring"
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection itself, which works well for us."
"It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years."
"The product is quite affordable."
 

Cons

"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"Online security could still be improved in ESET Endpoint Antivirus because security is threatened by phishing."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"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."
"I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
Information not available
"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"I do a two or three-year license for less than $100."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"It is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"This solution is a good value for the money."
"The pricing can be a bit more flexible."
