"The performance of the solution is very good it does not impact my hardware and is user-friendly."
"The solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"This is a product at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it."
"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."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"I haven't a problem with anti-virus stability using WatchGuard for over two years."
"It is the most effective on non-encrypted traffic and it is able to determine some threats through deep packet inspection."
"The pricing of the solution is okay. It's not the most expensive option."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"The solution could improve by having higher-level security and reporting."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"ESET should consider giving it application control."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"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."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"We do get false positives."
"It doesn't offer the best protection and it's incompatible with a lot of China's websites. It makes a lot of mistakes when it is detecting items as it's not recognizing items correctly."
"WatchGuard technical support requires a license."
"The solution isn't what I would consider feature-rich."
