What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. The updates are regular as well. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable. 

I'm using it for my personal machine, and I've also installed it for about 30 people in our company, for work in progress. I expect to install it for many other employees. We, therefore, do plan to increase usage. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is pretty good. We have been happy with their assistance. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to set up and implement. It's not complex or difficult. 

I'd rate the solution five out of five in terms of ease of setup. 

It took me less than one hour to put it on my machine.

We have six people that are able to handle deployment and maintenance tasks. They are managers, engineers, and support. 

What about the implementation team?

I set up the solution myself, in-house. I have not had any outside help from integrators or consultants.

It is affordable. It's not overly expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm using the latest version of the product. 

I'd advise potential new users to try the free trial and to experience the business security tools it offers. If they like the features presented to them, they could just go ahead and get it. It really, really helps in the detection of ransomware, zero-day threats, basically anything cyber security related.

I'd rate the product eight out of ten. I would recommend the solution to others.

  • "The solution could improve by having higher-level security and reporting."

What is most valuable?

The performance of the solution is very good it does not impact my hardware and is user-friendly.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve by having higher-level security and reporting.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate ESET Endpoint Antivirus a nine out of ten.

Offers great reporting tools and is cost-effective
Pros and Cons
  • "The product offers great reporting tools"
  • "The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"

What is our primary use case?

ESET Endpoint Protection Platform in my organization has been successful in offering protection against ransomware episodes or malicious attacks.

What is most valuable?

ESET Endpoint Protection Platform offers great reporting tools. 

What needs improvement?

The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises, it can be used efficiently for smaller enterprises. Sometimes, while pushing updates through the cloud console, updates do not get completed due to network dependency. The tool is easy to use but lacks in implementation. 

In the future, the solution should be able to handle the network issues effectively from the cloud console. The solution is a cloud product so it communicates with an environment through a network, therefore it should resolve issues automatically or provide precise information about endpoint connection failure. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ESET Endpoint Protection Platform for four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are 2500 users of ESET Endpoint Protection Platform in the organization I work for. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

How are customer service and support?

Urgent support is not available for the solution. I would rate the tech support a six out of ten. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In the organization I work for, previously we had used McAfee and Trend Micro. Our organization shifted to ESET Endpoint Protection Platform due to the cost effectiveness. 

How was the initial setup?

For the setup, an agent is deployed. That agent takes care of all the audit trails and antivirus software that needs to be installed on the machines. Thus, only a communication agent is required for the installation of ESET Endpoint Protection Platform. It takes only 15 minutes to install the solution. 

There is no maintenance required for the solution, it's carried out automatically through the cloud console. If there are some network issues, then the upgrade needs to be pushed to get the latest version. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's a cost-effective product in comparison to other solutions. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution has mediocre adaptation to different business environments. The solution provider is trying to be at an enterprise-grade but still the development is lacking agility. 

The multi-layered defense mechanism of the product, including antivirus protection and the inspection feature for auditing, are equally good. 

The AI capabilities of the ESET Endpoint Protection Platform are good for enhancing the organization's security posture by tracking activities and blocking the traffic accordingly whenever needed. I would recommend the solution for small and medium enterprises and not for large organizations that have twenty or thirty thousand people operating.  

I would rate ESET Endpoint Protection Platform an eight out of ten.

The features seem okay but the console management should be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "The features seem to be alright."
  • "The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."

What is our primary use case?

ESET Endpoint Security can be used for a small non-enterprise company.

What is most valuable?

The features seem to be alright.

What needs improvement?

The solution's console management and deployment don't compare to Sophos. There is a general perception that ESET Endpoint Security is not an enterprise-grade product. The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ESET Endpoint Security for many years. But it's not a product that we push actively. We will support if the customer has it, and I'll encourage the customer to move on from there. I personally would not encourage somebody to use this solution. If a customer uses it, I will do my best to convince them to go to Sophos suite.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution seems to be alright.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't think this solution is as scalable as Sophos or Check Point. I would rate the scalability of ESET Endpoint Security a six and a half out of ten. We have three customers working with ESET Endpoint Security. I am currently using one engineer for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

How are customer service and support?

I have never used ESET Endpoint Security’s customer support.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. But since our approach includes XDR, EDR, firewalls, and email encryption, Sophos works pretty well for us. The time taken to deploy the solution depends on the size of the customer at the end of the day. But the deployment is very quick, straightforward, and takes about an hour.

The deployment process is customer-dependent and product dependent. It will be around the portal, including the portal for the customer, licensing the portal, and then deploying the agents based on our deployment strategy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or thirty six months.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate ESET Endpoint Security between six to seven out of ten.

It's a solid solution for scanning customers' environments
Pros and Cons
  • "I rate ESET Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up ESET can be straightforward or complicated depending on the customer's environment. The deployment time varies, but it's typically around five days. We have a team of four or five people involved in the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance. The only maintenance is adjusting the configuration of the dashboard."
  • "It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."

What is our primary use case?

We use ESET to scan servers and endpoints. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used ESET for around 10 years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Endpoint Security is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Endpoint Security is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions. 

How was the initial setup?

I rate ESET Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up ESET can be straightforward or complicated depending on the customer's environment. The deployment time varies, but it's typically around five days. We have a team of four or five people involved in the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance.

A good, medium-level MDR with useful deep-learning capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used as a security tool. We're a distributor of several security technologies. This is an MDR solution. It's similar to Sophos. It protects endpoints. It offers an antivirus and also manages malware as well. 

What is most valuable?

It's a good, medium-level MDR. It's good for medium-sized companies.

It's on par with other products on the market, when it comes to endpoint protection.

The remediation and deep learning are very helpful. They tout that malware can be killed within 30 seconds.

Its security approach is very deep.

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution can scale. 

The pricing is reasonable. 

What needs improvement?

I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise.

They need to continue to develop their position within the MDR market.

They should develop an XDR solution. That would be the next step for them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started with this company in January. However, the company has dealt with the solution for three or four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If you have a simple setup, the stability is good. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution offers good scalability. However, if it is a very large setup, for example, 10,000 or more endpoints, I'm not sure how it would hold up. 

We do not have a lot of customers using the solution. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is quite good. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've dealt with many security solutions, including Sophos and Cynet. 

How was the initial setup?

I'm not sure how easy or complex the setup is. I do not handle the deployment. I'm in sales. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not clear on the exact cost of the licensing. I don't handle the configurations. That said, the solution is not overly expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm a reseller, and I work with system integrators in Italy.

ESET tends to push the SaaS contract.

I'd recommend the solution to other users. 

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

Light, easy to use, and offers good protection against threats
Pros and Cons
  • "It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it."
  • "It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection. It protects end-users and small companies as well.

How has it helped my organization?

It can keep PCs and devices secure. We can see if there are any issues from outside sources or emails that are a threat.

What is most valuable?

We have found we don't have many threats. We can look at the history and see which actions get declined. 

The price was very reasonable. 

It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it. The solution is stable. 

What needs improvement?

I can't speak to any missing features. 

It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices. 

We'd like the solution to make even more updates to ensure protection from the latest threats. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable in that you pay for a license per device. If you need more licenses, you just buy them. That way, you can expand your coverage as needed. 

However, you cannot use a license on multiple devices. 

We have five users on the solution so far. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never used technical support. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use other solutions. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup is easy. It was preinstalled on the computer. It took two minutes to put it as "active," and it would start working.

You do not need anyone to manage deployment and maintenance tasks. 

What was our ROI?

We have witnessed an ROI in terms of security. It saves money by having users avoid recovery costs when a device is attacked. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product pricing is very reasonable.

You need to pay for a license for every device.

We pay an annual fee to use the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm likely using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

The software is stable and runs without any issues and users can check the actions that are taken and detected. It's easy to use. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
