Pros
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus.""Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic.""ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past.""Installing and integrating ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy. It prevents worms, malware, and Trojans.""The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products.""The most valuable feature in ESET Endpoint Security is the game mode to restrict notifications.""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 overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."

Cons
"I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it.""The scalability could be better.""The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7.""ESET Endpoint Antivirus can improve by having better EDR intelligence and automation. The EDR still needs lots of human interpretation. It can be better if add more intelligence to the EDR part of the endpoint protection.""ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now.""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.""I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU.""The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Cons →

"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system.""Integration can be improved.""The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise.""The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets.""The general support could be improved."
