Security needs improvement and email scanning features are not included
The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning. There are many options that are not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use separate applications for different internet applications or for different internet scanning. This is why we cannot use it. I would like to see additional features such as email scanning, which should be included, or malware detections, and other cybersecurity features should be included. It could also be more secure.
Manikumar David - PeerSpot reviewer
Faced with deployment challenges but benefits from detailed reporting and cost efficiency
CrowdStrike sits at the kernel level and we don't know how it's operating, but we get the message; however, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform sometimes has issues with policies where users complain about popping up notifications. When we were using CrowdStrike, it used to detect and block pirated software, but ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is not doing that. The blocking notification in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform comes in when it is installed from the user; it should not disturb them because we are in a domain environment, and sometimes users are not able to bypass or minimize many things they are facing. Additionally, it is not detecting pirated software, which could be a bug. I trust ESET Endpoint Protection Platform, and they should ensure that software with bugs are not getting through. While it is cheap, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform sometimes makes the computer run slower and takes backup, which affects system performance. If the price is low, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is saving money, but time-wise, we face problems because when users have issues, we need to spend time rectifying them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to install."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."
"Easy to use security solution, helps to secure connected devices against viruses in the digital world."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"The potential threat protection feature is the most valuable. In the event that one of my computers is not on the network and gets a virus, ESET Endpoint Security quickly detects the malware, and in most cases, it removes the virus. It also has the ability to remotely shut down the computer. I like the remote control part the most."
"The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation."
 

Cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"The software has room for improvement in terms of CPU and other resource usage."
"A few times, we have had problems with downloading an agent. We had to try multiple times and multiple uploads."
"I am a MAC user and my asset cybersecurity is continuously displaying warnings that I am not using their firewall."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licensing fees."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"The cost of the solution is hard to justify even if the EDR operates well."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the other products out there. It is definitely in line with the competition."
"The solution's license is moderately priced."
"Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
