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.

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."
"It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."
"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 tech support from ESET is amazing, and I would rate it as ten out of ten."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
 

Cons

"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"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."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"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."
"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 solution needs improvement in stability."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
 

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."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
