"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"Dual management for the customer, who needs to access the local on-premise console from a remote cloud-based console."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
"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."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
"The free online storage capacity is limited."
