ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Reviews

We use the solution as an antivirus, a local firewall, and anti-malware protection.

The best features of this solution are the fast anti-malware and antivirus detection, and the powerful local firewall. 

In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great. The interface is too complicated, our clients contact us because they are not able to do some tasks such as updating. In addition, updating the toolkit and detection feature would be advantageous.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The stability is the best.

A lot of our customers are small businesses but we did not have issues with scalability with the solution.

I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product.

The setup is complicated, there are too many elements to configure.

One of our customers who was scheduled to renew 120 licenses in March, is evaluating other solutions because they must have one that is fully in the cloud. ESET is AWS implementation, it is not a true cloud solution.

We have some other customers that are evaluating other solutions such as Broadcom, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, and Microsoft. Additionally, some of our larger business customers with more users are evaluating F-Secure.

If I was to compare ESET and Symantec, one of the enormous differences is Symantec provides a cloud version.

We have had a reduction of customers for this product do to the pandemic slowing down operations. 

I rate ESET Endpoint Security an eight 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 are a reseller and this is one of the products that we use ourselves, as well as recommend it to other companies.

The primary use case is as an anti-virus.

This product is very good at what it does. It's very pro-active and not reactive.

If you're running a company, it makes administration a lot easier.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the management. The management center to it is fantastic. I set it up so that it goes over the internet from one site to another, and they're all held centrally.

I don't need to tamper with this solution every day. Rather, it lets me know when there is a problem and then sorts it out.

It has a continually updated database of heuristics for virus detection.

In addition to anti-virus, it will tell you whether your machine needs updates. It will send a red flag if your OS is out of date, or if there are any viruses.

This solution is very easy to use.

ESET will provide you with free training if you need it.

Everything has some kind of room for improvement.

Technical support for this solution is wonderful. The team is very good.

I have used nearly all of these kinds of solutions throughout my career, and this is the one that I tend to go back to because it's all there. Specifically, I have used AVG, Norton, Avast, and BullGuard.

ESET does not have a heavy footprint like Norton. 

When I first tried ESET many years ago, it was not as straightforward to use, but it was very good for administration and networks. The fact that it would scan the entire structure of the machine and any drives, in a corporate situation, was quite valuable. After this, I started using it myself and realized just how easy it is to use.

The initial setup of this solution can be a bit confusing if you don't know what you're doing. That said, if you're buying this solution then you are planning on rolling it out across a complete network. In this case, you will have the relevant knowledge so it's quite easy

This solution is a good value for the money.

Cisco has been marketing its Umbrella solution, and it is a very good product, but it is also very expensive. It is not economical, whereas ESET falls perfectly right across the board in terms of price and functionality.

This is a good, all-in product. Even the home, end-user products by this vendor are very good. If you're serious about endpoint security then this is the only product you will need because it's a one-stop solution.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

All users in my domain use the product on their computers.

The tool protects everything. It is not just for encryption.

The product’s licensing should be a little bit better during renewals. The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses. I shouldn’t have to click everything to find out when my license will expire. License administration will be a problem if I have too many computers or users.

I have been using the solution for more than ten years.

I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. It is easy to scale the solution. Around 60 users use the solution in my organization. I manage and maintain the product.

The initial setup was simple. The solution is deployed on-premises on our servers and then deployed to our computers.

I did the deployment myself.

I rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten. The pricing can be a bit more flexible.

We are happy with the solution. If we want to switch to another vendor, we would have to change everything. It would be too much work. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We use the tool to protect Microsoft 365. 

The tool offers great detection. You need time only to setup the environment. After that, it is just plug-and-play to get the solution up and running. We can also control the PC remotely from the cloud and get all the information in one place. 

The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices. 

I have been working with the tool for ten years. 

The tool is stable. 

The product is scalable. You can change the license model quickly. My company has 100 users for the product. 

The product's support responds within two hours once you write an email to them. The support of other alternative products takes around five days to respond. 

The product's standard configuration is straightforward. For the advanced version, you will need a lot of time to complete. You need one day for the basic setup and testing process. Another two days are needed for advanced setup due to security policies. You just need one person to handle the deployment process. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. You need to keep one administrator for the solution due to security reasons. You also need to test the product in your environment before start using it. 

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.

I use ESET Endpoint Security to detect malware.

ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem.

ESET Endpoint Security lacks some advanced functionalities and features which would be useful to be interconnected with the solutions we use, such as Microsoft 365.

I've been using ESET Endpoint Security for more than five years.

I've had no problems with ESET Endpoint Security's stability.

ESET Endpoint Security is very scalable - we scaled up and down by a few hundred users in a month with no problems.

I'm really satisfied with ESET's technical support, they solve all of our problems immediately.

The initial setup was quick and easy.

I advise anybody considering ESET Endpoint Security to find a good partner to implement it. I would rate ESET Endpoint Security as eight out of ten.

ESET Endpoint Security is primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware.

The main feature that could be included in the next release is protection from crypto attacks.

We have been using this solution for fifteen years. We have some clients that use various ESET Endpoint products, and we provide regular subscription renewals for our clients.

We deploy on-premises because our clients prefer it.

It is a stable product, considering we have been using it for 15 years.

It is somewhat scalable. However, if you need just a few licenses, you sometimes have to buy more than you need. They are sold in packs, bundles and even five-user licenses, so if someone wants to get one license, they may have to buy five, which isn't logical.

We have used the technical support a little bit but more for security purposes.

We have used different solutions and are not necessarily tied to only ESET solutions. It depends on the requirements of the client. For example, ESET EndPoint Security is suitable for clients who need a more complex model of security technology. This solution is good for clients if they have a firewall like Sophos or Sophos Antivirus integrated into their firewall.

The initial setup was straightforward and not difficult. There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software, but in terms of setup, it's not complex. I rate the setup experience a two out of ten, with ten being the most complicated.

Regarding price policy, we prefer to get quotes in Turkish dollars, not in USD. For example, Sophos provides us quotations in Turkish dollars, and then we calculate the price in USD for our clients. It's much better if ESET quotes in a local currency, especially for software. Hardware may be more challenging to sell in a local currency. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
