Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer.""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.""A feature we like is setting the GUI of ESET Endpoint Security/ESET File Security to silent mode because some servers and clients can have performance issues.""We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup.""The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle.""The solution has very useful MDM features.""The pricing is good.""ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."

"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable.""We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers.""The most valuable feature is the quick installation.""The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good.""The dashboard is good.""Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install.""Protects me from internet vulnerability.""With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."

Cons
"The solution lacks the automation I need.""I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira.""The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites.""They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet.""The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit.""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.""While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit.""There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Cons →

"The solution can improve the security modules.""It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""Sometimes the program is too complex.""Security Premium's cost could be lower.""Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail.""During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved.""The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem.""Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."

    Overview

    ESET Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) is a cybersecurity solution designed to protect businesses of all sizes against a wide array of cyber threats. Its advanced technologies and user-friendly interface provide robust security for endpoint devices, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, without compromising performance. ESET's approach combines multiple layers of protection, including traditional signature-based detection with advanced heuristic analysis, behavioral monitoring, and machine learning, to effectively counter both known and emerging threats.

    ESET's Endpoint Protection Platform is based on a multi-layered defense strategy, which utilizes various technologies like cloud-based scanning, network attack protection, and exploit blockers. This strategy ensures solid protection against malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and advanced persistent threats (APTs), offering businesses peace of mind regarding their digital security. ESET's platform protects computers, mobile devices, file servers and virtual environments. It’s available as a standalone product and as a part of a wider enterprise cybersecurity bundle, ESET PROTECT Enterprise, which also includes file server security, disk encryption, a cloud sandbox and EDR.

      ESET PROTECT Advanced

      The ESET PROTECT Advanced provides best-in-class endpoint protection against ransomware & zero-day threats, backed by powerful data security.

      • Leverages a multilayered approach that utilizes multiple technologies working together to balance performance, detection and false positives, and with automated malware removal and mediation.
      • Provides advanced protection for your company’s data passing through all general servers, network file storage including OneDrive, and multi-purpose servers to ensure business continuity.
      • A powerful encryption managed natively by ESET remote management console. It increases your organization's data security that meets compliance regulations.
      • Provides proactive cloud-based threat defense against targeted attacks and new, never-before-seen threat types, especially ransomware.

      Performance and Compatibility

      ESET is widely acclaimed for its light system footprint, ensuring that endpoint protection does not come at the expense of performance. This efficiency is crucial for maintaining operational productivity without sacrificing security. Moreover, ESET's solutions are compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

      Centralized Management

      ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is managed via ESET Security Management Center, a centralized management console that provides real-time visibility into on-premise and off-premise endpoints. This simplifies the administration of security policies, streamlines the detection and response processes, and provides detailed reporting capabilities, making it easier for IT professionals to maintain a secure and compliant IT environment.

      The more connected you are and the more your personal information is out there, the more security you need. Do you watch videos or shop on your tablet? Use your smartphone to pay bills or check your balances? Your personal information is in multiple places. Keep it private across all of them. Norton Security Premium provides one easy solution to protect your computers, smartphones and tablets, even on multiple operating systems: Windows, Mac, Android and iOS — and Windows 10. Plus, only Norton shows you if that Android app you’re about to download will impact your battery life, has potential privacy risks or contains malware, before you even install it from Google Play.
