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.

The premium version blocks websites which has greatly reduced viruses with less educated users.
We have Vipre Business Premium for all our customers. With the email alerts and reporting reveals the most problematic users. We incorporate a proactive service to review and reveal these issues. The Premium version also blocks websites which has greatly reduced viruses with less educated users. We had a few users getting 30k viruses a quarter and after upgrading to premium they reduced their count to 10-20. We also use this solution in house and we have very educated consultants that I configure a very loose profile for. They are responsible for their own scans so they wont run during their times of consulting and have full control over their client. Meanwhile I have customers that know nothing and I implement a very strict policy.
