Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"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."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"It is the most effective on non-encrypted traffic and it is able to determine some threats through deep packet inspection."
"I haven't a problem with anti-virus stability using WatchGuard for over two years."
"The pricing of the solution is okay. It's not the most expensive option."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"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."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"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."
"Its automation can be improved."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"WatchGuard technical support requires a license."
"The solution isn't what I would consider feature-rich."
"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."
