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 solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"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 offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"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 has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"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."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"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."
"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."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"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."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"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."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
 

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."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"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."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
