We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and ESET PROTECT Enterprise 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."Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"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."
"Ransomware protection is embedded in the solution."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"This is a product at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"We do get false positives."
"The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."
"They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
"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."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"Its automation can be improved."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
