From my personal perspective, it is easy to see on the console what's happening with each system. I'm able to monitor numerous things. This is a benefit because with all the systems connected, wherever the users are, from my system I can see what's happening on their system.

We have implemented certain policies in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, and it is working according to those specifications.

One of the strong features of ESET PROTECT Enterprise is its ability to work well on old computers. This is crucial for us as we save resources by not having to upgrade hardware frequently. It is not resource-intensive and is easy to configure and use. Additionally, it provides good protection without requiring extensive hardware.

ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution. Once installed, it requires little to no manual intervention as it automatically updates itself. Its web component prevents infections from malicious websites, which enhances its anti-malware capabilities.

The best features of ESET PROTECT Enterprise include its unique platform that allows me to manage firewall policies based on license type. Depending on the license, I can apply different policies across a range of IPs to ensure network safety.

Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent. I can configure rules and receive email notifications about vulnerabilities. For instance, ESET LiveGuard checks all devices, identifying issues when vulnerabilities are found and alerting me promptly.

ESET PROTECT Enterprise reporting and auditing features help my customers meet compliance requirements by allowing me to apply various security policies across their companies, ensuring their devices remain secure.

ESET PROTECT Enterprise has EDR endpoint detection and response capabilities that have helped reduce security incidents for my customers. Although it's not the best EDR, ESET LiveGuard constantly monitors devices, effectively identifying and stopping threats such as ransomware. The product is an antivirus, specifically ESET PROTECT Enterprise, which provides solid protection.

ESET PROTECT has a useful dashboard that makes management straightforward. It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans. It allows simple whitelisting and has a learning mode for new installations, which reduces false positives by adapting to typical user habits.

I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found.

The dynamic folders are the most valuable feature because, in the dynamic folder, you can set the rules. If any computer matches that rule, the computer automatically moves to that dynamic group. Since we already have a task, the computers move to that group automatically, and the task will run. So, for example, if the task in this computer is not updated, move it to that group, and then ESET Protect runs the test to upgrade the Windows Protect system.

The reporting tools are the solution's most valuable aspect. We're able to see what is going on within the network to see if there is any illicit activity happening.

Overall, the solution works pretty well as far as I know. Internal security is like modern warfare. You rely on it to tell you you are alright and your system is clean. In that sense, it's been effective, and I have no complaints in terms of its capabilities.

The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities.

The solution offers good documentation and step by step guides.

The logging is very good.

The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful.
