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 scalability is an eight out of ten."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"Ransomware protection is embedded in the solution."
"I really like the solution and how it works."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are that it is lightweight, it will not take up too much CPU and memory of the server or workstation, and the detection is good and easy to use."
"The deployment and configuration of ESET Endpoint Security and ESET Remote Administrator are really simple, and easy to manage."
"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
 

Cons

"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
"I want the command to be quicker."
"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
"I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
"I think the product support is very bad."
"Online security could still be improved in ESET Endpoint Antivirus because security is threatened by phishing."
