Kalpesh Potghante - PeerSpot reviewer

Secure file sharing has protected global storage and improves confidence with external partners
The best features Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers include that it is really a built-in feature which is really great, as you don't have to do anything extra, there's no operational complexity or cost overhead associated with it, and because it's a managed solution, it's easy for us to configure policies as S3 buckets are created globally and make sure they have the necessary virus protection as needed. The simplicity and ease of policy configuration have helped my team day-to-day because, as it is part of the AWS ecosystem, I don't need to really hire a separate skill set to configure this service, and moreover, if I use the console, all the features are available to me at a click, and I can also programmatically control it, making configuring the antivirus part of setting S3 objects rather than setting up a separate service altogether on top of S3.

Provides comprehensive monitoring and policy implementation with room for memory optimization
ESET PROTECT Enterprise makes the system a little slow sometimes and updates occur at startup. Sometimes unwanted pop-ups appear to users, and they are unable to disable them. The user-friendliness is lacking in some areas. When users are using any computer, ESET PROTECT Enterprise should work in the background without consuming much memory, and any updates should proceed in the background without disturbing the user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Antivirus for Amazon S3 is a great tool that is reliable and easy to integrate, adding an essential security layer for S3-based workflows which may be subject to malicious attacks and protecting the overall infrastructure while also reducing the burden of checking those files on your own."
"Antivirus for Amazon S3 has positively impacted my organization by giving us the confidence that we can really expose our S3 buckets to the external world without having to worry about security, and from a developer standpoint, we know that at any point in time globally if S3 buckets are created, we have templates that will automatically enforce the antivirus policies there, improving our overall security posture rather than compromising it because we do have a large footprint on S3."
"Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers some of the best features including deployment using Terraform, the ability to scan new and existing objects, very quick setup time, multiple engine support such as Sophos, CIS Premium, and CIS Secure, and extensive vendor support through many marketplaces."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"From my personal perspective, it is easy to see on the console what's happening with each system."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
 

Cons

"The reporting part could be a bit more detailed."
"I think Antivirus for Amazon S3 can be improved by including patches over time and adding forensic analysis of data to show where viruses may have been incorporated."
"I think Antivirus for Amazon S3 could be improved by slightly further automating the process; beyond just the ability to send notifications, if an email could be crafted or if communication through any channel could be established with the person or team who uploaded the file, that level of automation could be avoided on our end, allowing us to configure an entire loop from detecting a malicious upload to contacting the uploader and taking corrective action, which I think would be really cool."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"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."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"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."
