Provides good protection and works well when configured correctly
It works well as long as you set it right. You have to be careful with Bitdefender. It's different when you use it on laptops and desktops, but on servers, it's not the same. You need to make proper settings on it for what you ought to exclude. The problems it was causing were mainly because they didn't set it up properly. When you start putting it on things, you have to make sure you don't include certain things and that you make proper rules and settings to say go scan this or that. When you're installing anything like this on desktops, laptops, servers, or anything else, you want to make sure that you have done the research first and that you know what to include or exclude. Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

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 protection that it provides is valuable because the biggest problem that people and companies have been seeing in the last two or three years is scams and everything like that."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"It hasn't crashed a single time, so it is stable in that sense."
"It's a very user-friendly product."
"It can scale as well."
"The stability is good."
 

Cons

"I remember when they first pushed it to the DBM server, my backup server at the time, it caused a lot of issues because they were supposed to exclude all the folders that they were backing up to and had the storage. I got hold of the security group and asked them to uninstall it. We uninstalled it, ran a script, and then it fixed the problem."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"A few times, we have had problems with downloading an agent. We had to try multiple times and multiple uploads."
"They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations."
"Dual management for the customer, who needs to access the local on-premise console from a remote cloud-based console."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was included in the account that we had. We didn't have to pay for it."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and the price depends on the features you want to use. The overall price is reasonable."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive."
"Its price is reasonable."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"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."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
