Cloud-based protection has simplified daily client support and keeps threats under control
The problems that we are facing with policy adoption include slow adoption, as it takes more than five minutes to adopt policy on client computers. ESET Network Attack Protection sometimes helps in reducing network-level intrusions, but sometimes it prevents local devices on the network, which are well-known and good devices, from being recognized, treating them as a threat. So it requires more administration than usual. ESET could implement a good solution for remote support in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform for improvement in the future. Since you have the cloud console, ESET could have something similar to AnyDesk or TeamViewer, but from ESET.

Easy to setup and stable solution
It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us.  There is room for improvement in pricing.  In future releases, I would like to see improvements in EDR protection.  So, the only thing that I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"It is absolutely invisible once running."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"The licensing is very flexible; it can be per month, per year, or licensed over several years, and we find it to be generally affordable."
"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."
"The product offers great reporting tools"
"The technical support has been really great; all of it, including technical support, desktop management, etc., has been excellent, and we've found it very convenient and easy to use."
"It hasn't crashed a single time, so it is stable in that sense."
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"It is somewhat scalable. However, if you need just a few licenses, you sometimes have to buy more than you need."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"Pricing for ESET Endpoint Security could be lower because here in Hungary, it's expensive."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"I'd have to look through my records, however, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product."
"The license is annually, and the price is low compared to competitors."
"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."
"We can easily scale and improve security, but the cost is high for us."
