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

"It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans."

"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."

"From my personal perspective, it is easy to see on the console what's happening with each system."

"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."

"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."

"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."

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

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise pros

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

"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."

Cons

"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."

"Its automation can be improved."

"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."

"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."

"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."

"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."

"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."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise cons

"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."

"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."

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."
