A reliable solution that offers enterprise protection
Our primary use case involves approximately 180 workstations, 180 laptops, and office protection in our environment ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable.  The tool is complex and expensive.  I have been using the product for 10 years.  The tool is stable.  The product is scalable. My company…

Efficiently blocks unwanted websites from laptops but also blocks information from the websites
One problem I'm facing with K7 is that if it blacklists a website that I need, I have to ask my admin guy to unblock it. When we whitelist it, I have to manually update my policies on my laptop for the change to take effect. I want it to reflect automatically when something is done from the admin side. I shouldn't have to update K7 case and policy settings manually.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"It has its own model to decide whether a website is trusted or not."
 

Cons

"The tool is complex and expensive."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"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."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"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."
"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."
"But blocking websites also means blocking information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"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."
