Cons

"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."
"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."
"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."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"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."
"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."
