Provides comprehensive monitoring and policy implementation with room for memory optimization
ESET PROTECT Enterprise makes the system a little slow sometimes and updates occur at startup. Sometimes unwanted pop-ups appear to users, and they are unable to disable them. The user-friendliness is lacking in some areas. When users are using any computer, ESET PROTECT Enterprise should work in the background without consuming much memory, and any updates should proceed in the background without disturbing the user.

Easy to setup and stable solution
It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us.  There is room for improvement in pricing.  In future releases, I would like to see improvements in EDR protection.  So, the only thing that I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"From my personal perspective, it is easy to see on the console what's happening with each system."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans."
"ESET File Security is reliable and stable; we had only one infection from a website in the years of us using the solution with approximately 20 people using the solution, and it is extremely effective."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"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."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"The management console could be improved. Sometimes, agents lose connection with the management console, and the administration team needs to reinstall the agents on the computers."
"One area for improvement in ESET PROTECT Enterprise is its capabilities on Mac devices, which are less functional compared to Windows."
"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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