ESET Protect Reviews

We primarily use the solution for security purposes.

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 way that the remote deployment works needs to be improved. I'm not sure if Trend Micro is still around, however, we found that solution much easier to deploy. They need to update their deployment methodology.

The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users.

I've been using the solution for seven years.

The stability of the solution is great. It doesn't crash. It doesn't freeze. It doesn't seem to have bugs or glitches. We've found it to be quite reliable in the five years we've worked with it.

It's fairly easy to scale the solution if you need to. I believe it's just a matter of getting more licenses. That's all. I don't see that as a limitation.

We've dealt with technical support previously. It's been a pleasant experience whenever I've dealt with them. I haven't had to deal with them too much, however, they are always helpful. They're knowledgeable and responsive.

We used to use Trend Micro. We've used other products as well.

The other products that we did use, why we chose them would boil down to the fact that a lot of them offered this educational discount. It was quite a big selling point. The other products that I was aware of the company using previously were on par with this solution. However, this solution ended up being more expensive, purely because they don't offer educational discounts. With a school obviously having multiple devices you are kind of seen as being an enterprise by many companies. 

The initial setup was not complex. The implementation was pretty straightforward. However, the deployment could be easier. 

That said, a basic setup only takes an hour or two to implement completely.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

We tend to use the solution's most recent version. We try to keep it updates. We remotely deploy the solution.

If a company has technical individuals and they understand networking and antivirus criminologies, the solution would be good for them. For a novice user it might be quite complicated. In my opinion, it doesn't really have straight forward Wizards or base templates. It's got a lot of room for configuration, which is in some ways is fantastic - if you are technical. If you're not technical, it's probably a bit complicated.

That said, there is documentation, and there are step by step guides, so a new user isn't completely blind going it. It's just more challenging.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. Aside from the fact that it could be easier to use, I have nothing bad to say about it.

We primarily use this solution for the server.

This is an antivirus and network protection software. It mostly can protect our VMs and keeps our organizations safer.

The solution is very easy to deploy.

You can manage the solution easily. I can get a lot of people on the central management console.

The pricing is okay.

It's very straightforward to use the product.

The solution doesn't have high memory usage.

I can't think of any features that are missing. It's quite a complete solution.

We haven't looked too hard at the solution itself. I'm not sure of any aspects that are lacking. It provides all the functionality we need.

In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing.

At this point, I have been using the solution for a number of years.

The solution is quite stable. We haven't really dealt with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's quite reliable.

The solution can scale quite well. If a company needs to expand the solution, it can do so easily.

Currently, we have 100 servers that are benefiting from this product.

We're partners and therefore have a good relationship with technical support. They are responsive and knowledgeable. We're satisfied with the level of service the solution provides. I'd rate them ten out of ten.

We previously used Symantec. We switched due to the fact that it was too expensive. This product has similar features to Symantec, however, it costs much less.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I would not describe it as complex.

We're both a customer and a partner.

I am not sure of which version of the solution our organization is using at this time.

We use just the antivirus software. We don't need to pay a lot of attention to it.

Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It does everything we need it to do and it's easy to use.

We are mainly using ESET Protect for web filtering.

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.

ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load.  It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware.

I have been using ESET Protect for approximately five years.

ESET Protect is a reliable solution in the time I have used it.

If you want to scale ESET Protect all you need to do is purchase more licenses.

I have not used the support from ESET Protect.

The initial setup of ESET Protect was straightforward. All you need to do is click next multiple times and then it is complete.

I rate the setup of ESET Protect a five out of five.

There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license.

I rate the price of ESET Protect a five out of five.

I rate ESET Protect a ten out of ten.

ESET File Security is used to provide access to files remotely and securely.

The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources.

In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine.

I have been using ESET File Security for approximately ten years.

ESET File Security is reliable and stable. We had only one infection from a website, in the years of us using the solution. This was with approximately 20 people using the solution, it extremely effective.

We have approximately 20 people using ESET File Security in my organization.

I have not used technical support.

I have evaluated many other solutions similar to ESET File Security.

I rate ESET File Security a ten out of ten.
