We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and Sophos EPP Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The stability is very good."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature in ESET Endpoint Security is the game mode to restrict notifications."
"I have found the ESET Management Console very good. It gives me many features, such as managing users and installing a new version."
"I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is that it is light on resources. It has a very low impact on the system. It uses low memory and the setup size is very low."
"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"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 product is good and has a good interface."
"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."
"Great cloud management."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response."
"The solution efficiently protects the servers for our customers."
"In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard."
"The solution's most valuable aspect, for us, is the DLP portion of the product."
"The protection that this solution offers us is strong."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The support needs improvement."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"A few times, we have had problems with downloading an agent. We had to try multiple times and multiple uploads."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors."
"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"The solution could improve in configuration and the central logging and dashboard."
"The management console need improvement."
"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
