IT Manager at R K Khanna and Associates

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

"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 offers a lot of configuration capabilities."

"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."

"The tech support from ESET is amazing, and I would rate it as ten out of ten."

"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."

"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."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise pros

"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."

"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."

"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."

"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."

"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."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise cons

"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."

"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."

"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."

"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."
