Manikumar David - PeerSpot reviewer
Faced with deployment challenges but benefits from detailed reporting and cost efficiency
CrowdStrike sits at the kernel level and we don't know how it's operating, but we get the message; however, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform sometimes has issues with policies where users complain about popping up notifications. When we were using CrowdStrike, it used to detect and block pirated software, but ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is not doing that. The blocking notification in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform comes in when it is installed from the user; it should not disturb them because we are in a domain environment, and sometimes users are not able to bypass or minimize many things they are facing. Additionally, it is not detecting pirated software, which could be a bug. I trust ESET Endpoint Protection Platform, and they should ensure that software with bugs are not getting through. While it is cheap, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform sometimes makes the computer run slower and takes backup, which affects system performance. If the price is low, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is saving money, but time-wise, we face problems because when users have issues, we need to spend time rectifying them.

An affordable tool that is easy to learn
The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Seqrite developed a feature that can help restore deleted data. If there is a ransomware attack, our company can restore the data as Seqrite keeps a copy in an encrypted and complex format. If there is any ransomware attack, our company can restore the data. If the data is deleted by any of the users in our company, and if we want to recover it, then it can be done through the process that the tool uses to restore data during a ransomware attack. There is a command through which users can recover the data from the laptop.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution does not slow down your systems. It is very light."
"It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years."
"The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"The product is quite affordable."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"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."
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
 

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."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"There are some new antivirus technologies that rely on AI, artificial intelligence. ESET does not have this technology right now."
"While it is cheap, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform sometimes makes the computer run slower and takes backup, which affects system performance."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"We had the encryption capabilities in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform; however, we disabled that and use BitLocker because we noticed that the performance of our machines degraded by about 20%."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The interface is slow."
"User management could be improved."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is hard to justify even if the EDR operates well."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"Pricing for ESET Endpoint Security could be lower because here in Hungary, it's expensive."
"The price could be a little lower."
"The price of the solution is very good compared to other solutions."
"This is not an expensive product."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
