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.

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."
"I like everything about ESET Endpoint Security, and as an installer, it's very easy to install the solution, but the most important feature is that it helps defend against any virus. When the virus comes, ESET Endpoint Security stops it."
"It has been working fine. It lets you know when it finds things. We didn't have any incident where the place had to shut down or was taken over by anything. We haven't had any issues that we know of."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"The maintenance is easy."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years."
 

Cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor."
"I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security was not complex because we have five years of experience. However, it is not as easy if we did not have the experience."
"The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licensing fees."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
"The price is okay and I don't have any issues with it."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"I do a two or three-year license for less than $100."
