Enables automated threat intelligence sorting and enhances proactive threat hunting capabilities
You have to have at least a threat intelligence background or a SOC analyst background to use it, as that's the information you'll dig around with in there. If you don't have that kind of knowledge, it probably can be a little hard to use, but they do provide training. They offer training not only for how to use the platform but also some basic threat intelligence training to explain what these things are and what these terms mean. My company is a customer of Anomali. I would recommend it to other people. I would advise making sure you don't pick it without testing other products and have your use cases well thought out and documented before testing, so you know it will solve the problems you're trying to address. Keep an open mind with it and realize that whatever you can dream of, you can probably do with the platform. Overall, I would rate Anomali an eight 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

"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."
"In terms of stability, I can rate it at nine out of ten."
"The scalability is very good, because if you need to increase the number of systems then it is flexible and able to be scaled."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"There are some great features in ESET Endpoint Antivirus when you are browsing on the internet, for example, they have a notification if within your LAN network something is suspected to be a threat and additionally, the malware features are very good."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computer's system resources, and additionally, the solution is very secure."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement is the intelligence sharing within the Anomali community. The tagging system can be inconsistent, as any company can use any tags for their reporting."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Support in the past has been top-notch, but recent trends indicate that it has taken a back seat, as we often don't get answers for days."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"I would like them to take more preventative measures in virus prediction. I would also like to see AI features that would do this type of prediction."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."
"Data Leak Protection is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"The price is okay and I don't have any issues with it."
"I'd have to look through my records, however, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
"Currently, we are running on a three-year license. The pricing might be around $20,000. There aren't any costs above the standard licensing fee."
"ESET is cheap."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
"At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
