ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Reviews

We primarily use the solution to protect our local computers from viruses and malware.

The most valuable aspect of the solution is malware protection, specifically in relation to mail.

The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites. 

It would be good if they had some sort of solution or feature that helped deal with files infected by ransomware which could be detected by the user.

I've been using the solution for 1.5 years.

The stability of the solution is good.

In Egypt, it doesn't appear to be a scalable antivirus. I'm not sure if it's advertised to be or not. Right now, we have 110 users in our company using the solution. We may increase usage to 300 users.

Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems.

We didn't previously use a different solution. I did use Kapersky at a different company, but I didn't find it as secure.

The initial setup is very easy. Deployment took about five minutes. You don't need more than that to tune it and make everything work properly. You only need one person for administration purposes once the solution is set up.

I handled the implementation myself.

Currently, we are running on a three-year license. The pricing might be around $20,000. There aren't any costs above the standard licensing fee.

I'd recommend the solution. The security is good and it's easy to install even on an enterprise level.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use this solution for the endpoint protection of our clients. It is deployed across multiple locations including our headquarters, construction yard, and airport operation centers.

We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms.

The fact that this solution runs in the background without consuming system resources has been the most useful. 

It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release. 

I have used this solution for seven months. 

This is a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We implemented this solution using our in-house team. It only took a few days. 

This is not an expensive solution. 

We looked into using Trend Micro but the service was terrible.

We have also worked with Symantec when it has been installed with certain clients. This is also a good solution but does consume additional resources in the background.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

We use this solution to protect our endpoints from malware, zero-day attack, etc.

It has a clean and clear interface. The performance on the endpoint, no matter the system, its resource usage is low. We have pretty good detection, at least I feel that we don't have any major infections — we love it.

We can use this solution to perform lots of tasks, like upgrading. We can integrate with Windows. Some of the patches don't update by default, by Microsoft. We can do some software installations, in-store — which is pretty easy. Whenever we upgrade, our lives become much easier.

ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks. This is very important for large corporate businesses as it would provide protection against hackers, data breaches, etc.

I have been using this solution for roughly 12 years. 

We experience some stability issues from time to time, but we can't confirm it's due to ESET. Some system tasks read past some script which makes it difficult for developing custom tasks. For normal installations, it's fine.

ESET Endpoint Security should be able to integrate with DLP better — that would be great. They already have EDR, but we don't use it. Some have more DLP functionality than others. 

They have local support here, so they're pretty good. They seem to know what we need. Overall, I'd say their support is very good.

After we upgraded to version six, it's been pretty easy to continue upgrading. It's pretty straightforward to upgrade and install. 10 years ago, this wasn't the case. We had to install each upgrade one by one. 

I think it's available for a pretty fair price. If you know how to use it, then it's a very fair price for what you get.

They provide a free trial version. Install it and try it for yourself to see the performance and test the detection capabilities. Then you can see the result; that's what I remember the first time I tried ESET. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give ESET Endpoint Security a rating of nine.

This product is installed by my company's technical team as an antivirus solution.

The user interface is horrible.

I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU. I have used other products where this is not necessarily the case. It is not the quickest antivirus product.

I have been using ESET for about seven months.

It hasn't crashed a single time, so it is stable in that sense. My understanding is that the decision to implement ESET was recent and we will continue to use it in the future.

The whole company is protected by ESET and we have about 120 employees.

When we have troubles then we contact our internal IT team.

I personally use the antivirus product that comes with Microsoft Windows.

My IT department pre-installed ESET before I was given the laptop to use.

This is not an expensive product.

Personally, I would just use the Microsoft antivirus that comes with Windows. If you have a special laptop or a special set of use cases then you might install a second antivirus such as this, but for myself, I would not.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Our company is a reseller for ESET (Essential Security against Evolving Threats), and we are here to sell the product to our customers. Our customers are usually using the product for antivirus and for firewall protection against threats and malware.  

The feature of the product that is most valuable is endpoint security.  

The product could be improved by having better integration with other services. Specifically, it would be good if they had better integration with Kaspersky and Nvidia (Next Version Envy and Vision).  

It is also possible that they could be a little more aggressive with malware.  

We have been using the product for five or six years.  

For the most part, the product works very well. It is stable and we do not have any bugs or glitches with this solution. The only problem that we have had is in trying to move some clients to version 6.5. In many cases, we can not uninstall or upgrade this version with the package provided. We must go with a CMD tool on safe mode to uninstall the program and install the new version that way. But this is the only bug we have experienced and it is not affecting the utility of the product. It is just a problem with the installation of the upgrade.  

We have not experienced any scalability issues with any of our clients.  

We have contacted the tech support team maybe one or two times. I would evaluate them as being very good. I have no issues with how they handle our requests. We have been satisfied with their support.  

The initial installation time can be counted in minutes or maybe a few hours. It does not take that long to get up and running.  

We are the ones who do the installations for our customers.  

I think ESET is very good. It is at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it. We can easily recommend it to our customers with confidence. We are very glad to support this antivirus solution.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate this product as a ten-out-of-ten. I think that right now it is the perfect solution.  

I have found the ESET Management Console very good. It gives me many features, such as managing users and installing a new version.

We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints.

I have been using ESET Endpoint Security for approximately eight years.

The scalability of ESET Endpoint Security is okay.

We have approximately 50 people using this solution in my organization.

The technical support of the solution could be better.

We previously use Symantec products and we switched to ESET Endpoint Security because it was less expensive.

The initial setup is easy.

We have one person that does the maintenance of the solution.

The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive.

I rate ESET Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

We use ESET to protect our company from evolving threats. We also use it to monitor activity in the network, have a hardware and software inventory, and automate some tasks such as running commands through a console and things like that.

The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources.

They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac.

I have been using this solution for many years.

It is stable on Windows and Mac.

It is easily scalable.

Their support is great and excellent.

It is easy to set up the solution. The duration depends on the number of endpoints and servers that you have. If you have many computers and you're using Active Directory, it generally takes less than a week.

To set it up, choose a cloud. That's because it is easier to implement than on-premise, and you can use GPO to deploy the probe using Active Directory. 

By using the console, you can uninstall antivirus from other companies, and you can also set up some alerts. If there is anything you need to look at, such as malware detection, you can schedule alerts via email.

I would rate ESET Endpoint Security a 10 out of 10.

It defends any type of malware and defends us from viruses. We also use this solution to block USB access.

ESET Endpoint Security helps with the automatic system scanning. This solution gives us real time protection.

This solution blocks the brand new malware threats. It automatically blocks them without updates.

I would like them to take more preventative measures in virus prediction. I would also like to see AI features that would do this type of prediction.

We are not a big company, so I cannot comment on scalability issues. 

They prefer online support, and I would really prefer on-site support for this solution. 

Actually our management wants to know if the vendor is actually brand oriented or marketing oriented. It is crucial for us to know we can deliver certain criterion to our employees.  In the end, when evaluating a solution like this, we focus on whether the product will give us the latest malware protection, and whether it can block and not only quarantine. In turn, we will find the best solution for our needs.

At first we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price.

This solution has become a security manager for our company. It provides a prevention of many different malware attacks. In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution.
