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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable."
"My advice to others is this is a very good solution for email protection but for the EDR and SIEM, the integration is not at a high level."
"We use ESET to protect our company from evolving threats, monitor activity in the network, maintain a hardware and software inventory, and automate tasks such as running commands through a console."
"Technical support is very good and so far they have been very helpful and they resolved our problems in several hours."
"Technical support has been very helpful and responsive."
"I really like the solution and how it works."
"It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years."
"I like everything about ESET Endpoint Security, and as an installer, it's very easy to install the solution, but the most important feature is that it helps defend against any virus."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"I have not found the solution to be very helpful in providing endpoint security. As analysts, we need to do things fast; we rely on automation and on scripts, but I find this lacking in the solution."
"I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"I am a MAC user and my ESET cybersecurity is continuously displaying warnings that I am not using their firewall."
"I would like them to take more preventative measures in virus prediction. I would also like to see AI features that would do this type of prediction."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"I do a two or three-year license for less than $100."
"I pay about $100 a year, so it's really cheap. I'm sure that if I need something else beyond more technical support, I'll need to pay more."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"The cost is a very reasonable. When compared with other products, the price is low (though not very low)."
"The pricing is moderate."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
