Easy to set up with good security and rapidly improving capabilities
In terms of stability, the performance parameters do come into play. It's good on the regular office front, however, on the development side, if somebody is using it in a development environment, they need to make some configuration changes in terms of what directories should be excluded from the real-time scanning. I had to do that kind of stuff. I don't do that with the Microsoft product, for example. It runs, and it scans the entire system with no issues. The solution is stable. Regular updates were available in the product versions. They were updated, and they gave regular signature updates also so that the product checked all the boxes.

Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past."
"Installing and integrating ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy. It prevents worms, malware, and Trojans."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"There are some great features in ESET Endpoint Antivirus when you are browsing on the internet. For example, they have a notification if within your LAN network something is suspected to be a threat. Additionally, the malware features are very good."
"The maintenance is easy."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
 

Cons

"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
"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."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a cost-effective product"
"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus could be lower. From a customer's perspective, it is expensive."
"The price could be a little lower."
"The pricing can be a bit more flexible."
"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"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."
