Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"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."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"It's scalable."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
 

Cons

"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"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."
"The software has room for improvement in terms of CPU and other resource usage."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable."
"It is subjective. I don't think it is expensive. If you can have 10 user licenses for less than $100, I don't think it is expensive."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive."
"The price is okay and I don't have any issues with it."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"ESET is cheap."
"The pricing is moderate."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
