We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation.""It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it.""I find the main valuable feature to be the antivirus, it is very effective with removing viruses.""ESET provides good protection.""The solution has a very good endpoint feature.""It has been working fine. It lets you know when it finds things. We didn't have any incident where the place had to shut down or was taken over by anything. We haven't had any issues that we know of.""The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."

"I like this setup for a firewall. You can set things up very easily and you can automate items as well. It's a very robust firewall solution for enterprise as well as small businesses.""It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product.""We use it for protection against viruses and ransomware attacks.""They have a large database of commonly known things that they can catch automatically, then they have anything which is questionable go to the sandbox and be examined there before going into our network.""Provides good protection and security.""The ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) on scanning is the most valuable feature.""The stability of the solution is good. We haven't had any breaches or crashes. It's been very stable for us.""The reporting that you get from it is the most valuable feature. You can see it via the appliance itself, and also via the MySonicWall account for the registered device. You are able to select the file if it's malicious, and you can select it in the reporting and see what triggered it, and things like that. I found that to be quite useful."

Cons
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine.""The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly.""I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks.""It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release.""We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle.""The solution could improve by having higher-level security and reporting.""I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement.""I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Cons →

"The setup needs improvement. It needs to be made more user-friendly.""I would like to have better documentation before starting with deployment because the deployment is a bit complex.""We would like to get immediate alerts from the alerting system without using third-parties.""Could provide online training to allow customers to learn more about the product.""It does fare well against enterprise products.""If anything at all, it would be some very minor updates that need to be done, but in terms of changes, nothing comes to mind.""SonicWall had a recent layoff. This is a concern for us, because now we are missing the local presence from both the engineering and sales side.""Having an on-premise solution as well would be an option for some people, but they'll want to use a cloud solution for their sandboxing. Certain sites would want to keep all the checks done on an on-premise appliance. All the checking, rather than sending that up into a cloud engine."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
  • "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)."
  • "At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
  • "This solution is a good value for the money."
  • "Currently, we are running on a three-year license. The pricing might be around $20,000. There aren't any costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "This is not an expensive product."
  • "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."
  • More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The best deal from SonicWall is to buy the HA pair. When you buy the initial one, you receive the second one at a significant discount. If there is an event and something happens to one firewall, then you have the second firewall to roll into. For the price, it's pretty to tough to beat and not a lot of other firewall vendors offer it. You battle for a discount on both. Where with SonicWall, if you buy one, the second one is at half price. It's pretty straightforward."
  • "When you compare it with other solutions, they are cheaper and more economical."
  • "We get our value for our money."
  • "It's thirty dollars per user and we have 30 users."
