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."
"The product is quite affordable."
"The tool protects everything."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
"The pricing is good."
"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"The support team deserves a rating of 10 out of 10."
 

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."
"The update process can be improved, and there could be an automatic update process when a new version comes out. For system updates or program updates, there could be more automation."
"The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints."
"The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"The use of SQL Server can be improved. At times, there is a bit of challenge while linking it with the Javascript. ESET Endpoint Security requires modern technology or modern equipment on site. You will find it difficult to use ESET Endpoint Security with dual-core machines. If they can add the cloud management feature to their product, it will be much easier. If you look at this COVID situation that we are in right now, people are working from home, so you need to control the computers wherever you are. For example, if you are using any email setup and you are hosting it on your own, all the email traffic will be going through the same network. You need to protect all of your computers from the attack. It is best if you can do it remotely rather than having an IT person to come onsite to manage all computers and metrics etc, which isn't a smart way to do it."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"I am a MAC user and my asset cybersecurity is continuously displaying warnings that I am not using their firewall."
"We do get false positives."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was included in the account that we had. We didn't have to pay for it."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is affordable."
"There is a license required to use ESET Endpoint Security."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"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."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"It is subjective. I don't think it is expensive. If you can have 10 user licenses for less than $100, I don't think it is expensive."
