This is a security solution and it is used to protect all of the client's systems. It is for data protection.
Manager at Kharys Entreprise
Reasonably priced, good support, and quite light
Pros and Cons
- "It can scale as well."
- "When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It's not using too much system capacity or memory. It's quite light. It's like there's nothing on the PC, yet it's working there behind the scenes.
From my side, the best thing is the support from ESET headquarters. When we have a problem in two hours or three hours, we find a solution via ESET.
It is stable.
It can scale as well.
The pricing is reasonable.
What needs improvement?
There is no such thing as a 100% secure system. That said, the main problems are coming from the users and how they use the system, including how they open emails, go to the internet, et cetera. Maybe if they have a firewall system paired with ESET, so there are not as many concerns around the security of the WAN, that would be better.
We hope that they can learn from and react to threats faster so that we are more protected in the future as new items arise. They need to update the system faster to ensure security is there in the case of new events.
When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been dealing with the solution since 2016. I've used it for seven years now.

857,028 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have two companies here we've contracted with. One is with 750 computers and another one is with 100 PCs.
The solution can scale.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is really good. they are helpful, fast, and responsive.
That said, sometimes, when we have a problem, we need a quick response, and they have many things to do on their side, so it can take two or three hours sometimes to get a reply from them.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It's quite simple to set up. People sometimes don't want to make much effort, however, technically, it's quite simple to implement the solution. They can do it themselves, yet we are always there, ready to install the solution.
How many people we need to deploy the solution depends. In the beginning, we can use one engineer to deploy the solution. However, it depends on the number of computers. If we install it on about ten PCs, for example, we can also handle the training for the local IT people who can then make the installation.
We do not normally handle the maintenance afterward. However, depending on the contract, we can assist with support. Usually, we have two engineers that can assist our clients if they need help.
What about the implementation team?
We can install the solution for clients.
What was our ROI?
The ROI is high since using the product can avoid many problems. I'd rate the ROI five out of five.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is good when you compare it to other solutions. That said, when the client needs to renew the license for the next year, it is the same price. Maybe they can do a discount for renewing the license. That would make it more attractive.
The license is annual. Users can also choose to do a three-year license.
If a client needs extra features, we need to discuss locally so we understand how we can help the customer and how much it will cost.
I'd rate it four out of five in terms of affordability, with one point taken off for issues around renewing the license.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I've been looking into SentinelOne.
What other advice do I have?
I'm a reseller. We are selling, installing, and doing training for the users.
We deal with the latest version of the solution.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: Reseller

Good API integration, user-friendly user interface, and easy installation
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
- "The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus.
I believe I can find it in the most recent version in a sandbox. Network Security in a Sandbox It includes seven different tools, including network security, IPS/IDS, and ESET which is also valuable.
It is easy to use.
The user interface is very easy.
API integration is good.
They have an iteration tool that makes the API connection flawless.
What needs improvement?
I don't see changing EDR in the cloud's future. Tool for being proactive. The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future. But, proactive is excellent.
I would like to see ESET include the Proactive feature. The process is killed by decision support. Unplug the endpoint book station from the network.
If you do not use Cynet, it must be added to ESET Endpoint.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with ESET Endpoint Security for five years.
I have a three-year service agreement with ESET to sell green. It's been three years, and I believe it's near the end of the year.
I have no issues with ESET; it's the workstation's ESET and Cynet. I believe are perfect solutions.
I am working with EDR, it's a full version. We have updated it to the latest version.
It is a central update, it's cloud maintenance.
Because I do not have any sensitive data, it is sufficient to use the public cloud.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
ESET Endpoint Security is very stable.
All of the update releases are very established.
I would rate the stability a nine, or ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have not experimented with scalability.
With servers, we have approximately 3, 000 users in my department. This includes the hardware and virtual servers.
How are customer service and support?
We have no issues with the local technical support team that we use in Israel.
I would rate them a five out of five.
They are excellent.
They respond quickly and speak the language, which is beneficial.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I am working with a new Endpoint Security Company, and the name of the product is Cynet.
I am still working with Cynet.
Instead of Cynet, it is an EDR. It is now extended XDR. It is an extended response.
For Endpoint Security, I use both ESET and Cynet. However, unlike ESET, Cynet is a proactive tool. MDR is included. It is also paired with SOC.
One of the companies I oversee is one of the Mator company's branches, and they use Cisco Endpoint Security, which is a terrible tool when compared to ESET or Cynet.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very simple.
We require one person a few hours per month for maintenance.
I have about 3,000 endpoints and a three-person IT team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have purchased the full version.
I would rate the pricing a three out of five.
It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive. There is room for improvement, and the price could be lower.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate ESET Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

IT Specialist at Amano Christian School
Excellent protection with good tutorials and helpful documentation
Pros and Cons
- "I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
- "I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for security reasons, including for protection against antiviruses.
What is most valuable?
The protection and security have been great.
I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer.
There are good documentation and tutorial materials.
It's scalable.
What needs improvement?
Right now, the link between the Protect Server and the proxy features don't really work as intended.
I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it.
If those features can be worked on, that would be very helpful.
A bit more remote access would be ideal.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution since about 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Sometimes it is not running as well. When it actually doesn't work properly, then the whole process of reinstalling it is more or less a tedious task. If they could actually work on that and make it a lot better, that would be good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is the only one I've ever known so far in terms of such deployment. I'm not comparing it with any other solutions. I love the control that it gives you on even on a large scale. When we deployed now to over 100 users and it worked well. For us, it is scalable.
Right now, we're up to 120 machines. It keeps increasing and therefore we will increase usage.
How are customer service and support?
I don't really deal with support. I mostly do my own research. I've never had to engage with support with the access I have to tutorials and documentation.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution.
How was the initial setup?
It's a little bit complicated to set up. Even the deployment process for the endpoint that's deployed through GPO. Obviously, when you have the agent deployment is quite a challenge, so it just doesn't work as a straightforward deployment. You want the endpoint antivirus to be able to talk with the Protect Server. However, it's the deployment that's a bit of a challenge.
I'd rate it four out of five in terms of the ease of setup.
The deployment takes longer than we anticipated.
What about the implementation team?
I just did the initial setup myself in-house.
What was our ROI?
I haven't witnessed an ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I was put on an educational discount. I paid about $1000. I'd have to look through my records. However, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product. I pay for the product every two years. There are no extra costs or fees beyond the licensing.
What other advice do I have?
I'd advise others to use the solution.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten since I have yet to experience any intrusion.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Buchanan MI Tax Preparer at Helping Hands Accounting LLC
Reasonable solution that works in the background
Pros and Cons
- "They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
- "It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
What is our primary use case?
My primary use case for ESET Endpoint Security is internet security.
What is most valuable?
There are two things I like the most about ESET Endpoint Security. One, it's a seamless update. In other words, it updates all in the background. You don't have to restart your computer after an update. It takes care of itself, updates all the time, and stays up to date. It automatically installs those updates, similar to what Windows does.
The second biggest ESET Endpoint Security plus is the value. They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me.
There is another nice ESET Endpoint Security feature: you can shut it off for 10 minutes and then turn it back on.
What needs improvement?
For the most part, I'm really satisfied with ESET Endpoint Security. It works in the background and that is one of the reasons that I went with this solution. It doesn't bog down my computer, for the most part. That's probably one of the things that could be improved. It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've had ESET Endpoint Security on all my computers for four or five years, maybe even longer.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have never really had the solution crash. It's super stable.
There have been some times that I've had problems connecting to different computers, but I resolved this issue by temporarily shutting off the solution for a few minutes.
How are customer service and support?
ESET Endpoint Security's tech support is very responsive. I don't get an answer back from them in five minutes, but the few times that I've had to talk to somebody, for instance, for license renewal, I usually hear back within 24 hours. That's very responsive in my opinion.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I cover, I think, eight computers and it turns out to be right around $50 for three years. It's a very reasonable solution. I like that.
What other advice do I have?
Once you install it, it is very stable because you don't have to renew it every year. You just do an install and know you're protected. The installation is also hassle-free.
Overall, I would give this solution a nine out of 10 for performance.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

IT Manager at a consultancy with self employed
A scalable and stable solution that meets our needs and is working well
Pros and Cons
- "All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
- "The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
What is our primary use case?
We only use Endpoint Server.
What is most valuable?
Endpoint Security currently meets our needs. We are implementing a cyber-security process. After doing a lab analysis, we determined we have one more we need to implement.
All of our devices are integrated with the solution. It is working so well that we renewed the contract for two more years.
What needs improvement?
When we rule a scanner process on the heart risk, it is very slow and overloads the machine. It would be beneficial if we could run a back process.
I would like to see more listings added in the next release of ESET Endpoint. The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using ESET Endpoint Security for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
ESET Endpoint Security is scalable, the performance can be increased. We have 500 people, including Managers and the IT team, using the solution.
The product requires eight specialists to deploy and maintain.
How are customer service and support?
Customer service and support are very helpful for us. When we have a problem, they help us immediately.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have also used Kaspersky, but it was very slow.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy for us. Our team has the tools and experience to manage implementation. It took 10 days to deploy throughout the enterprise.
What was our ROI?
It is difficult to measure ROI as we do not know what we could have lost without implementing ESET Endpoint Security. What we do know is that we do not have any attacks, and that is very important.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing. We have an annual license.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before selecting ESET Endpoint Security, we evaluated Panda, McAfee, and Kaspersky.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend ESET Endpoint Security to anyone considering implementing this product.
ESET Endpoint is a nine out of 10 overall.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

ESET Endpoint Antivirus has several useful features. Firstly, it offers parental control options, allowing users to manage and restrict access for children. Additionally, it can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer.
What needs improvement?
The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7. That's why I had to switch temporarily. So it should be more compatible with different operating systems.

The scalability of the solution is good. Only I am using the solution.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was fine. It was easy. It took less than an hour to deploy.
What about the implementation team?
It was done in-house. I needed technical help while trying to update it to Windows 7. And I still wasn't able to do it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I paid for a yearly license. It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine.
What other advice do I have?
I am satisfied with ESET Endpoint Antivirus. I would definitely recommend using the solution. It is easy to use and a good solution.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Vice President at Adamevejp
Simple to use, easy to transfer to new endpoints, and reasonably priced
Pros and Cons
- "The product does not slow down the machine."
- "There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs."
What is our primary use case?
I'm primarily using the solution as an antivirus at home. It is a form of endpoint security.

Being in IT, I understand the importance of having security. This works well for me. It's easier to use than other options, for example, McAfee.
The product does not slow down the machine.
It's very simple, and I have no issues with it. It does what it needs to do. It's clean.
The solution offers good protection.
It alerts me when Windows needs to be updated. The product lets me know every time there's a Windows update, I need to go through it to make sure that all the patches are done.
It is easy to set up.
It is stable.
The pricing is very reasonable.
What needs improvement?
There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for four to five years.

The deployment is very fast. It takes maybe five minutes, depending on the download speed. It's pretty easy to implement. It's not complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive. I do a two or three-year license for less than $100. I tend to wait for a promotion to get a discount.
What other advice do I have?
I'm a customer and end-user.
I'd recommend the solution to others. It's easy to use. It's easy to deactivate an endpoint and add a new one. The license carries over to the new machine with ease. If I buy a new machine tomorrow, I can just transfer over my ESET.
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. They are excellent in many areas.
