Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise pros
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"When it first starts up, it takes a lot of processing power when the machine is initially booted. Improving the startup side could be beneficial."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"Its automation can be improved."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
More ESET PROTECT Enterprise cons
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"We can easily scale and improve security, but the cost is high for us."
