They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet.

The management of the solution isn't as clear as it could be. They could adjust that to make it a better product.

The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality.
