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.

A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ESET provides good protection."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks."
"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 feature of ESET Endpoint Security performance."
"It hasn't crashed a single time, so it is stable in that sense."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
 

Cons

"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
"ESET Endpoint Security lacks some advanced functionalities and features which would be useful to be interconnected with the solutions we use, such as Microsoft 365."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."
"High-end hardware requirements across workstations"
"It would be useful if they could automate the deployment more."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"The use of SQL Server can be improved. At times, there is a bit of challenge while linking it with the Javascript. ESET Endpoint Security requires modern technology or modern equipment on site. You will find it difficult to use ESET Endpoint Security with dual-core machines. If they can add the cloud management feature to their product, it will be much easier. If you look at this COVID situation that we are in right now, people are working from home, so you need to control the computers wherever you are. For example, if you are using any email setup and you are hosting it on your own, all the email traffic will be going through the same network. You need to protect all of your computers from the attack. It is best if you can do it remotely rather than having an IT person to come onsite to manage all computers and metrics etc, which isn't a smart way to do it."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the other products out there. It is definitely in line with the competition."
"The price could be a little lower."
"This is not an expensive product."
"At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
"This solution is a good value for the money."
"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
