Daniel Cordero - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive solution manages diverse security policies and enhances organizational network protection
The best features of ESET PROTECT Enterprise include its unique platform that allows me to manage firewall policies based on license type. Depending on the license, I can apply different policies across a range of IPs to ensure network safety. Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent. I can configure rules and receive email notifications about vulnerabilities. For instance, ESET LiveGuard checks all devices, identifying issues when vulnerabilities are found and alerting me promptly. ESET PROTECT Enterprise reporting and auditing features help my customers meet compliance requirements by allowing me to apply various security policies across their companies, ensuring their devices remain secure. ESET PROTECT Enterprise has EDR endpoint detection and response capabilities that have helped reduce security incidents for my customers. Although it's not the best EDR, ESET LiveGuard constantly monitors devices, effectively identifying and stopping threats such as ransomware. The product is an antivirus, specifically ESET PROTECT Enterprise, which provides solid protection.

Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"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."
"It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans."
"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
 

Cons

"The tool is complex and expensive."
"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"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."
"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."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"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."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
 

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."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
