ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Reviews

We primarily use the solution for security. It's for software protection.

The integration is good with Elasticsearch.

It's a so-so product. It works okay.

When there are bugs, they get fixed quickly.

The stability is good. 

Technical support has been very helpful and responsive. 

It's not a top-ten product. However, it works fine. 

The deployment could be a bit better. We'd like the possibility of a software install in the server segment as well as the user segment PC.

There tend to be a lot of bugs, although they do work to fix them.

We do get false positives. 

I've been using the solution for six or seven months. 

The solution does have a lot of bugs. the vendors try to do a good job to deal with them. They do a lot of updates and fixes. Otherwise, it is pretty stable. 

We have 4,000 people using the solution currently. Various people from different departments are on it. 

I've dealt with technical support and find them to be helpful. 

Positive

We are using ESET on-premises, WatchGuard in a hybrid deployment, and Tenable.io as a cloud deployment.

In terms of similar solutions, I used to use CrowdStrike, and we use Cisco AMP. We've been using Symantec as well. 

We would like the deployment to be a bit better.

However, I'm an IT specialist and don't deal with the setup. That's a different department. It was also set up before I arrived at the company. 

I'm not sure if the deployment can be handled by one person or not. I'm not involved in the maintenance aspect.

The solution's cost is not something I have direct knowledge of. I don't deal with licensing. 

We're an ESET partner.

I'm using the latest version of the product right now. 

I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a very small product.

We primarily use the solution for endpoint security. It's used to keep our computers virus free. That's the main use case.

It has an easy user interface. The manageability is also easy. 

It's low on system resources.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

The solution is generally affordable. 

Support has been helpful and responsive. 

The maintenance is easy. 

They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations.

The API integration with our system should be better.

I've been using the solution for 15 years at this point. 

The stability and reliability are very good. I'd rate it five out of five. There are no issues with bugs or glitches. 

We have 30,000 people on the solution currently. Pretty much everyone uses it. 

It's very easy to scale up with the product and also very easy to scale down again as well.

I'd rate the scalability five out of five. 

Technical support has been very good overall. 

Positive

The initial setup was very easy. It's not complex to deploy. 

We only had three engineers involved in the implementation. It was a small team.

The deployment was quick. We had everything done in a day.

We only really need one person to maintain the solution.

We handled the initial setup in-house. We didn't need outside assistance from any consultants or integrators. 

We've seen ROI. It was pretty quickly realized as well. 

The licensing is very flexible. It can be per month, per year, or licensed over several years. It's really whatever you want. We do it per month in our company.

We find it to be generally affordable. I'd rate it a five out of five in terms of affordability.

We are partners with ESET on some products. 

We are now on the latest version of the solution. 

We use a mix of on-premises and cloud. The cloud deployment was introduced in the last year or so.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I'd advise others to use the solution as it is easy to manage. 

We used ESET Endpoint Antivirus for the workstations to prevent Trojans, worms, and malware.

I liked that ESET Endpoint Antivirus was light, easy to install, and easy to integrate.

Online security could still be improved in ESET Endpoint Antivirus because security is threatened by phishing.

We used ESET Endpoint Antivirus for three years, but then we moved to a different solution. We used it in the previous year before we moved to Microsoft Defender.

ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy to scale.

We didn't contact the ESET Endpoint Antivirus support team.

We didn't use a different solution previously, because we started with ESET Endpoint Antivirus.

The initial setup for ESET Endpoint Antivirus was straightforward. We installed it on many workstations.

We deployed ESET Endpoint Antivirus with our in-house team.

You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose.

We used the latest version of ESET Endpoint Antivirus.

We had one engineer who was responsible for the maintenance of the solution. We had fifteen users of the solution before we shifted to ESET Endpoint Protection Advanced.

I would recommend ESET Endpoint Antivirus to others, but currently, we're using Microsoft Defender.

I'm giving ESET Endpoint Antivirus a rating of seven.

We are using ESET PROTECT for endpoint protection.

The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat.

It is rather easy to use. It is pretty much hands-off once you get it set up on the machines. We've not had any issues, and it has been easy to maintain. 

The update process can be improved, and there could be an automatic update process when a new version comes out. For system updates or program updates, there could be more automation.

I have been using this solution since I came to this organization. It has probably been 10 years. 

We have not had any stability-related problems with it.

It is very scalable. In terms of its users, from senior management to production floor workers, we probably have 450 users. 

In terms of usage, we're using the basics of it. There is probably more we could do. We're not utilizing it at 100%.

They've been very helpful anytime we've had an issue. They're easy to work with, and it's usually a straight phone call. Their online help and chat function have been good, but if an issue needs any more than that, a phone call has been very helpful.

We've had it since I've been here.

It was implemented before I got here, but its setup is straightforward.

As far as I know, it was implemented in-house. Its maintenance is pretty much handled by one person.

The bang for the buck is as good as I've seen out there.

It is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing.

I would advise looking at all the features and finding out which one is going to work for you.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use ESET Endpoint Security to control the endpoints. We can run full control of endpoints and receive good information from ESET about the endpoints.

The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security performance.

I have used ESET Endpoint Security for approximately 10 years.

I have found ESET Endpoint Security to be stable.

ESET Endpoint Security is scalable.

We have approximately 350 users using ESET Endpoint Security.

The technical support from ESET Endpoint Security is good.

The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption.

There is a license required to use ESET Endpoint Security.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate ESET Endpoint Security nine out of ten.

One of my customers was attacked by ransomware twice. The first time, I was able to roll it back because the attackers seemed to be using an old version of ransomware. We were able to find the crack for it and unencrypted everything. It was amazing. During the second ransomware attack, we were watching it happen, so we shut it down. The key, of course, is backup. The backup was there, and we restored it.

It's hard to evaluate the effectiveness of antivirus stuff because you don't know if it's working well until something happens. ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past.

ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now.

All security solutions seem to update automatically these days. I think there are good technical reasons for that. 

At the customer's site where I deployed ESET most recently, there are about 20 to 25 workstations, and ESET is deployed individually on each.

As far as I know, everything's very stable.

I've gotten good support in Canada when I've needed it. But, interestingly enough, their distribution in Canada seems to have gotten confused a little bit. Support in Canada is well organized, but the product has evolved, and they've gone through some changes in their distribution. I haven't talked to them for about a year.

I was using Malwarebytes as a stopgap solution, but I'm sure they have a whole corporate strategy. I started using ESET initially because they had a centralized control tool. Maybe Malwarebytes has changed so it's managed in the cloud now. I haven't explored that or used a cloud version of the software.

Setting up ESET is reasonably complex but not onerous. It depends on who is installing it. 
I wouldn't expect any of my clients to deal with it, but I'll happily work through it. The installation process has evolved. I initially set it up using the central control function. In later versions, ESET's central tool was replaced. After I had installed that, I just used the individual ones. 

We pay for an annual license that costs about $35 per workstation. 

I'd rate ESET eight out of 10. I think there's always room for improvement. However, I must admit that if I had to choose again and had the proper reviews, I might conceivably switch to a product based in North America. I've become quite sensitive to the political aspects of having offshore security software. That will probably be my most significant deciding factor if I change.

Most antivirus programs seem to be decent. We haven't seen any reports of solutions doing a lousy job in the marketplace. I suspect all the big ones only do an okay job. The truth is that the best defense against ransomware is simply backup.

We use ESET Endpoint Security for system security.

The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good.

The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product. 

The cloud version of the solution could improve.

I have used ESET Endpoint Security within the last 12 months.

The stability of ESET Endpoint Security is above average but excellent.

The application updates are very good. They do not affect the performance of the PC. If the users have a medium-scale PC the solution operates very well. If the user's PCs have the latest processor and it is updated, they can use some other product. A faster PC does not get impacted by the software if it is heavier on resources.

We do not have plans to increase usage at this time. We are not using the solution extensively.

ESET Endpoint Security does not require any maintenance, it is done automatically.

We are always looking at new product technology innovation.

I have evaluated Sophos' solutions.

There is some antivirus software, such as McAfee when it is very difficult to install the software on some devices. When we patch or make some reports, it does not show them in the report. It's not communicating with the licensed software or a similar issue.

Technology is growing and changing fast. People are working from home, and office, products should be capable of handling the office and the home environments. This is the challenge.

My advice to others wanting this type of solution is to check all the Endpoint Security solutions available. The threat signatures and sandbox features are good to have if there is an attack, they can detect them and give updates for their users. The faster the better. The cloud versions of threat detection solutions are very good and are really important.

I rate ESET Endpoint Security a six out of seven.

It is pretty easy to deploy. Its update definition file is small, so it can dispatch very quickly within the enterprise. The product itself is very lightweight, so it won't delay your endpoint. You also don't have to do any difficult configuration because it comes with a very good default setting. So, you just install it and forget it.

They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine.

I have been using this solution for over 10 years.

It is excellent. It is a really stable solution.

It is scalable. It can easily handle more than 10,000 endpoints.

We are a small enterprise.

I am providing support to our end customers. The support that we get from headquarters is pretty good. We get very good support from ESET.

For endpoint security, I'm only working with ESET.

It is pretty easy.

Its price is reasonable.

I would advise others to not install it along with any other endpoints security solution. Some people love to have two or more solutions, but it is meaningless.

I would rate ESET Endpoint Security a nine out of 10.
