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 features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"It has a clean and clear interface."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"Ransomware protection is embedded in the solution."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"The pricing of the solution is okay. It's not the most expensive option."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"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 feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"The solution includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it."
"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."
"The solution isn't what I would consider feature-rich."
"WatchGuard technical support requires a license."
