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, I did not have any issues with it."
"It hasn't crashed a single time, so it is stable in that sense."
"A feature we like is setting the GUI of ESET Endpoint Security/ESET File Security to silent mode because some servers and clients can have performance issues."
"The product offers great reporting tools"
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It's scalable."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"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."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"The price of the solution is very good compared to other solutions."
"Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"The cost of the solution is hard to justify even if the EDR operates well."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
