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.

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

"The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The product is quite affordable."
"The stability is good."
"ESET provides good protection."
"The ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
 

Cons

"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"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."
"I would like them to use AI features to do preventative virus protection."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"The software has room for improvement in terms of CPU and other resource usage."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"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."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"I think it's available for a pretty fair price. If you know how to use it, then it's a very fair price for what you get."
"There is a license required to use ESET Endpoint Security."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"The price could be a little lower."
"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."
