We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and ESET PROTECT Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Anti-Malware Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"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's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"The overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"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 doesn't have high memory usage."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The scalability could be better."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"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."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"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."
"If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"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."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"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."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Its automation can be improved."
