Provides detailed behavior analysis while needing improvements in signature detection
I use Cuckoo Sandbox primarily for automated malware behavior analysis. Specifically, it helps me extract indicators of compromise (IOC) to add to different platforms in the security environment of my company Cuckoo can show me every behavior in a machine. For example, it shows all files…

Comprehensive solution manages diverse security policies and enhances organizational network protection
The best features of ESET PROTECT Enterprise include its unique platform that allows me to manage firewall policies based on license type. Depending on the license, I can apply different policies across a range of IPs to ensure network safety. Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent. I can configure rules and receive email notifications about vulnerabilities. For instance, ESET LiveGuard checks all devices, identifying issues when vulnerabilities are found and alerting me promptly. ESET PROTECT Enterprise reporting and auditing features help my customers meet compliance requirements by allowing me to apply various security policies across their companies, ensuring their devices remain secure. ESET PROTECT Enterprise has EDR endpoint detection and response capabilities that have helped reduce security incidents for my customers. Although it's not the best EDR, ESET LiveGuard constantly monitors devices, effectively identifying and stopping threats such as ransomware. The product is an antivirus, specifically ESET PROTECT Enterprise, which provides solid protection.

"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
 

Cons

"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
"I want the command to be quicker."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"Its automation can be improved."
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"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."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
