We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and ZoneAlarm 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."I like everything about ESET Endpoint Security, and as an installer, it's very easy to install the solution, but the most important feature is that it helps defend against any virus. When the virus comes, ESET Endpoint Security stops it."
"It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it."
"ESET provides good protection."
"ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are that it is lightweight, it will not take up too much CPU and memory of the server or workstation. The detection is good and easy to use."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"The use of SQL Server can be improved. At times, there is a bit of challenge while linking it with the Javascript. ESET Endpoint Security requires modern technology or modern equipment on site. You will find it difficult to use ESET Endpoint Security with dual-core machines. If they can add the cloud management feature to their product, it will be much easier. If you look at this COVID situation that we are in right now, people are working from home, so you need to control the computers wherever you are. For example, if you are using any email setup and you are hosting it on your own, all the email traffic will be going through the same network. You need to protect all of your computers from the attack. It is best if you can do it remotely rather than having an IT person to come onsite to manage all computers and metrics etc, which isn't a smart way to do it."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"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."
"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"The support is not always so effective."
"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."
"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
