We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) 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 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."
"I have found the ESET Management Console very good. It gives me many features, such as managing users and installing a new version."
"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 is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good."
"Easy to use security solution, helps to secure connected devices against viruses in the digital world."
"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."
"A feature we like is setting the GUI of ESET Endpoint Security/ESET File Security to silent mode because some servers and clients can have performance issues."
"Microsoft EOP's most valuable feature is a shared mailbox."
"The threat management feature includes policies and alerts that are valuable."
"The solution uses artificial intelligence and machine learning, so you don't need train it to detect something. The detection and response times are short. It's an excellent product."
"What I like most about Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is its integration with Windows, so we have one central view for all alerts and incidents."
"It provides security to both on-premises and Azure infrastructures."
"The pre-set policies and configuration analyzer are the most valuable features."
"We can migrate seamlessly without any disruptions to our operations."
"You can use the product to create special accounts."
"I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"Not all settings can be configured automatically and most still require manual configuration. However, there is an automation tool available that can be used to input all the configurations either as a script or a tool it would be helpful."
"Some features, like encryption, are not available."
"The tool is not 100% stable."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"The licensing can be on the expensive side, especially in the cloud space."
"Having orchestration features added to Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, particularly automation and remediation, would be quite useful."
"The reporting needs a little bit of improvement."
"The solution must improve the user experience."
