ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Reviews

Protection of a corporate environment.

Lightweight software, it does not compromise the performance of the operating system.

Virus protection on the network and site-blocking, among other features.

I think the product support is very bad.

One to three years.

Network security for an organization with around 20 networked computers with all users diving all over the internet for disparate interests. It is easy enough to pick up a bug, and we do not want one.

We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried, proven system. 

We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup. 

It is absolutely invisible once running. It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years.

You have to buy it.

Trial/evaluations only.

No issues.

No issues.

No, we have not changed.

ESET is perfect, if you can afford it.  

Not really.

The features are very good.

The solution offers impressive advanced protection.

The pricing is quite reasonable.

It's fairly simple to implement.

The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with.

I've been working with the solution for around two years at this point. 

The stability isn't ideal. There are some bugs and other issues we have came across in the last two years. From that perspective, there needs to be some improvement.

Technical support is, at one level, good. The turnaround on queries takes some time, however, I would say it's not less of an amount of service as compared to Microsoft. 

We also work with Microsoft Defender. From a Microsoft product perspective and stability perspective, I would recommend Defender. From the feature perspective, from an advanced protection perspective, ESET is good. 

The initial setup is easy. It's not a complex or difficult process. 

The cost is not too high. They have reasonable pricing.

We are managed risk providers, a MRSP. We have a partnership with ESET.

It's a good solution and perfect for small and medium-sized organizations.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. All features are available and they are good, however, they need to deal with some bugs. 

The application runs in the background without a noticeable impact on my laptop. In 3 years of use, there have been no infections (as far as I know...). The application is being put to the test, as about once a week I get a notification from ESET of another virus that was detected and quarantined. ESET's operation is in stark contrast to another popular security firewall that I tried 3 years ago before choosing ESET. That 'other' firewall noticeably slowed all other applications, forcing me to remove it.In anycase, my experience with ESET has been good so far.

ESET requires a yearly license fee. That license fee is significant for SOHO users. Users considering a purchase should look at both performance and license pricing of the top vendors before making a decision. The ESET license price is discounted only if one is willing to purchase a 3-year license. That's a long time window for a PC, in my opinion.

We use ESET Endpoint Security for many things, it has a lot of functionality. For example, it can be used for device control, secure browser access, URL control, web access protection, and anti-spam.

The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation.

They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading.

I have been using this solution within the last 12 months.

ESET Endpoint Security is stable.

I have found the solution scalable. If there are any bugs or glitches they are normally fixed fast in a patch release.

We have approximately 5,000 users using this solution.

The technical support is very knowledgeable, and the response time is also what is expected.

The installation is easy and it takes only a short time. If you have access to the Active Directory then it is simple.

The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors.

I would recommend this solution to others

I rate ESET Endpoint Security a ten out of ten.

On-premises

Management console, where you can manage all devices on the network from your PC.

Management console means I don’t have to physically go and update the PCs. I can check their status from my desktop.

Assuring all users that all types of malware/ransomware are covered (this is hard to do, I know).

One and a half years.

No. Assuring all users that all types of malware/ransomware is covered...

No.

An eight out of 10.

Yes, we switched as ESET was easier to use, has management console functions, and the application is cost-friendly for a small business.

Yes. Phone support provided was great and the GUI steps are easy to follow.

If you are running a small business and don’t need an over-the-top product, ESET is a good product. Cost-friendly and easy to manage for a small number of devices on the network. Phone support has been marvelous.

Yes, I looked at McAfee, Norton, and Malwarebytes.

ESET is a good product. Cost-friendly and easy to manage for a small number of devices on the network. Phone support is great, and they always get back to you.

Resource use is very impressive as it has smallest impact on CPU and RAM.Provided features are ThreatSense technology, Antispyware, Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS), Cloud-Enhanced Whitelisting, Antispam, Intelligent firewall, Gamer mode and Parental controls which are more than enough for appropriate security and protection.Control interface is clear and easy to use with main items available in the left had pane.SysInspector is available for advanced users to look at active processes, critical files, network connections and drivers to identify any unwanted programs affecting the system.

Malware detection is good but repairing is not always up to the markInitial scan is slow

ESET Smart Security protects your computer against real world threats and malware attacks and provides added security layer with spam filtering, firewall and parental control.

- guard against any threats that you are on social networks, in sailing, work, play online or exchange data via removable media. - The program is classified among the first in the field of protection and the most competitive. - Detects viruses and then destroys them professionally - saves battery for your laptop because it is not greedy with the RAM and CPU - protection for three PCs with just one license

- problem with updating Zonealarm (at time) - vulnerability protection mode is only for 32-bits of architecture - difficult to uninstall - It has a very inconvenient way of activating the beta NIS when you have to type in the key

I used Norton Internet Security Suite two years ago. I remarked that the improvement and protection tool, specifically in version 2012, should have included a professional panel, like putting in a restore point of the total system. It is not very greedy with the RAM and processor, which allows you to save battery.
