It's a fast, reliable solution that doesn't use a lot of system resources
Everything depends on how well you've built your network. If your network is centralized, has good bandwidth, and you have the correct set of permissions, you'll have no problem deploying ESET. If your network topography is decentralized, you'll need more steps. Also, there is a cloud solution. The cloud-based ESET Protect server can manage up to 50,000 computers, so keep it in mind if you have more. ESET Endpoint Antivirus is a proven product, built for the last 35 years, brushed and polished to perfection. Customers rarely see malfunctioning of any kind, and if it happens, support will take care of it immediately. There are five different methods to deploy protection on endpoints, with the ability to set the smallest detail in the process. And pretty much everything works flawlessly. There are no limitations to the number of distribution points, number of administrators, configurations of permission sets, or anything that can interfere with the solution's scalability.

"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"Easy to use security solution, helps to secure connected devices against viruses in the digital world."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"It's scalable."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"The solution provides an easy GUI allowing you to use it as a backup and restore your computer whenever you want, following administrator rules."
 

Cons

"In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great."
"The migration between on-prem and cloud has room for improvement."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs."
"ESET should consider giving it application control."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
"The support team of the product lacks skills and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or 36 months."
"This solution is a good value for the money."
"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
"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."
"At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
"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."
"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."
