Searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware and monitors the network for security

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is great."
"The most valuable thing for me is that when I'm using the internet and I reach some site that isn't so secure, or isn't recommended because they don't have a good reputation, ESET will notify me."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."

Cons

"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
