We performed a comparison between Check Point Antivirus and ESET Endpoint Protection Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Anti-Malware Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users."
"It has significantly bolstered our overall cybersecurity posture."
"A very good and robust antivirus solution."
"The solution does a pretty good job and is easy to use. I am the person maintaining the tool and only one person is required to maintain it. Their configuration portal is user-friendly and anyone can crack it with a little bit of knowledge."
"One of the characteristics of this antivirus that is valuable is the detection of ransomware."
"What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a good solution against phishing, malware, etc. It can do a lot in terms of security. You can also manage all the endpoints or users from the Check Point Antivirus platform, which is another feature I found valuable in the solution."
"It offers a centralized administration which allows us to be much more productive."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is that it is light on resources. It has a very low impact on the system. It uses low memory and the setup size is very low."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"The features seem to be alright."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"The solution is stable."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."
"We'd like to see better integration with other security tools."
"Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats."
"Check Point should always focus on emerging business requirements and should always be working proactively in meeting the requirements of clientele and users in a timely manner."
"While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments."
"A certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours."
"The SLA is slow."
"The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line."
"I would prefer it if this solution was cheaper for everybody to buy it and enjoy these wonderful and distinguished characteristics."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"ESET should consider giving it application control."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"I would like them to use AI features to do preventative virus protection."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
