ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Reviews

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.

We are using the management console, ESET Management Center with this suite, and we deploy ESET Endpoint to the PCs and servers.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection itself, which works well for us.

I don't know what would need improvement. It's a fine solution for us. I don't know what could be better. There are many other solutions to compare with, but I don't know them.

With ESET we are content for now. It is what we need.

In the next release, I would like to see DLP included. Data Leak Protection is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET.

I have been working with ESET Endpoint Security for 10 years.

We are using one of the latest versions.

This solution is stable. We have not had any issues.

This is an area that we have not had to experience. It's enough for what have. 

We have approximately 100 users in our organization.

We have contacted technical support and we are satisfied with them.

Previously, we used Norman, but it's only an antivirus. ESET is better.

We only require one person for the maintenance of this solution.

The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect.

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

I use it to protect my servers.

The potential threat protection feature is the most valuable. In the event that one of my computers is not on the network and gets a virus, ESET Endpoint Security quickly detects the malware, and in most cases, it removes the virus. It also has the ability to remotely shut down the computer. I like the remote control part the most.

The use of SQL Server can be improved. At times, there is a bit of challenge while linking it with the Javascript. 

ESET Endpoint Security requires modern technology or modern equipment on site. You will find it difficult to use ESET Endpoint Security with dual-core machines. 

If they can add the cloud management feature to their product, it will be much easier. If you look at this COVID situation that we are in right now, people are working from home, so you need to control the computers wherever you are. For example, if you are using any email setup and you are hosting it on your own, all the email traffic will be going through the same network. You need to protect all of your computers from the attack. It is best if you can do it remotely rather than having an IT person to come onsite to manage all computers and metrics etc, which isn't a smart way to do it.

I have been using ESET Endpoint Security for about six years.

It is a stable product.

It is scalable. I have had at least 20 users, and I never exceeded 50 users.

I don't really have much experience with them. Because of my almost six years of experience with this product, I am able to troubleshoot a lot of issues.

I hardly had any problems. It could be because of the experience with time.

The deployment time depends on the speed of the network. To install it to a standalone workstation, it didn't take me more than 5 minutes to complete the process.

I installed it myself. It gets easier with experience. In the beginning, I required some assistance. I raised some queries online and got a response. I then found someone who is probably certified to do the installation. Now, I can install it on my own. I have also been helping my clients.

It is subjective. I don't think it is expensive.  If you can have 10 user licenses for less than $100, I don't think it is expensive.

We definitely plan to continue using this solution. For my clients with small businesses, I really recommend this solution.

I would rate ESET Endpoint Security a seven out of ten.

We use this solution for security and email spam protection.

Once the initial setup and configuration is complete, you just have to sit back and monitor.

The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle. It is very helpful and integrates with the local Outlook, or email, client.

The HIPS is another good feature.

The initial setup needs improvement because you have to create quite a few policies, and sometimes it misses machines when it comes to discovery. This means that you have to manually deploy on some.

Seamless discovery of endpoints would be an improvement.

Technical support can be improved.

I would like to see better deployment features in the next release.

If they had an agentless version, where for example it is integrated with Active Directory and there is no agent, then that would be an improvement. I don't know if it is possible, but you just discover the machines, deploy the software, and that's it. It would save a lot of time when it comes to installing the agents, especially if you have, for example, one thousand machines. It is for this reason that I would not recommend ESET on a larger scale.

The stability of this solution is good.

I have not had to scale this solution, but my understanding is that you just enter a license and that's it.

The availability of technical support is less than I would like. Out of five times that I call, they may be available two or three times. Overall, I would rate their support a seven out of ten. Certainly, this can be improved.

If, however, you do catch them, then the support is good. The engineer will help you.

I have worked with Cylance. It does not have the problem where some machines are missed during the initial setup and discovery process, but it suffers from having too many false positives. I think it is related to how it works, based on machine learning technology. This means that you have to create a lot of exceptions, time and time again, especially for applications that are crucial.

Recently, the setup of this solution is easy, but the configuration is time-consuming.

You have to make policies, and it is not a simple process. There are three steps involved, where first you have to deploy the agent, and then you have to create a policy to remove any existing antivirus software. A reboot is required following this step. After the reboot, you install the product and then you have to reboot again.

These steps are tedious and time-consuming, and really what I didn't like about this solution.

If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET.

I would not recommend this solution on a larger scale. To improve, they need to cut down the number of steps required for deployment. They also have to increase the availability of technical support.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are using it to protect our endpoints and servers.

It has been working fine. It lets you know when it finds things. We didn't have any incident where the place had to shut down or was taken over by anything. We haven't had any issues that we know of.

It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying.

It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos.

I have been using this solution for a little over a year.

Overall, it seems pretty stable.

As far as I know, it is scalable. Currently, we have 30 users in our company. We don't have any plans to increase its usage. We're pretty static here.

I haven't had to deal with their tech support. We would go through the MSP, and the MSP generally interfaces with them. 

We were using Sophos. Our MSP had a bad experience with it, so we decided to go with ESET Endpoint Antivirus. We get it through our MSP, and it was a part of the package, and that's why we dropped Sophos.

Sophos had Intercept X on the server-side to protect the files on the server, but we had to pay extra for it to be on the endpoints. We at least had the server version, which was kind of cool.

It was straightforward. Our MSP has a script, and when you run the script, it kind of gets installed automatically. It also gets configured with their systems. It was pretty easy.

Our MSP is Tech Kollective, and they're very responsive.

It probably is less expensive than Sophos.

I would rate ESET Endpoint Antivirus an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for endpoint protection.

The solution is very stable and efficient in detecting viruses.

They should make the solution's initial setup process easier. 

We have been using the solution for more than one year.

I rate its stability as a ten.

We have 2,000 solution users in our organization. I rate its scalability as a ten.

The solution's customer service is good.

We used McAfee and Defender previously. We switched to ESET for its cost and functionality.

The solution's initial setup process has a medium complexity. It takes two weeks to deploy it.

Our team of two engineers deploys and maintains the solution in-house.

The solution's license is moderately priced. We purchase its yearly subscription.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it as a ten.

We use ESET to scan servers and endpoints. 

I have used ESET for around 10 years. 

Endpoint Security is stable. 

Endpoint Security is scalable. 

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. 

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.  

I rate ESET Endpoint Security nine out of 10. 

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.
