We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and Malwarebytes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The stability is very good."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The solution has very useful MDM features."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"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."
"It has been working fine. It lets you know when it finds things. We didn't have any incident where the place had to shut down or was taken over by anything. We haven't had any issues that we know of."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"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 product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"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."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it."
