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

"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"The tool offers great detection. You need time only to setup the environment. After that, it is just plug-and-play to get the solution up and running. We can also control the PC remotely from the cloud and get all the information in one place."
"The features seem to be alright."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"In terms of stability, I can rate it at nine out of ten."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"Sometimes, ESET sends alerts within my own network that cause confusion. That is, it might warn about contamination, or that the VM has crashed, but it doesn't go further than that. It just shows me the alert and sometimes I am not sure what to do about it."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"We do get false positives."
"The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is annually, and the price is low compared to competitors."
"I pay about $100 a year, so it's really cheap. I'm sure that if I need something else beyond more technical support, I'll need to pay more."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and there is an annual subscription. The price is inexpensive."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Currently, we are running on a three-year license. The pricing might be around $20,000. There aren't any costs above the standard licensing fee."
"I think it's available for a pretty fair price. If you know how to use it, then it's a very fair price for what you get."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
