Provides good protection and works well when configured correctly
It works well as long as you set it right. You have to be careful with Bitdefender. It's different when you use it on laptops and desktops, but on servers, it's not the same. You need to make proper settings on it for what you ought to exclude. The problems it was causing were mainly because they didn't set it up properly. When you start putting it on things, you have to make sure you don't include certain things and that you make proper rules and settings to say go scan this or that. When you're installing anything like this on desktops, laptops, servers, or anything else, you want to make sure that you have done the research first and that you know what to include or exclude. Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

Easy to set up with good security and rapidly improving capabilities
In terms of stability, the performance parameters do come into play. It's good on the regular office front, however, on the development side, if somebody is using it in a development environment, they need to make some configuration changes in terms of what directories should be excluded from the real-time scanning. I had to do that kind of stuff. I don't do that with the Microsoft product, for example. It runs, and it scans the entire system with no issues. The solution is stable. Regular updates were available in the product versions. They were updated, and they gave regular signature updates also so that the product checked all the boxes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The protection that it provides is valuable because the biggest problem that people and companies have been seeing in the last two or three years is scams and everything like that."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"The tool offers great detection. You need time only to setup the environment. After that, it is just plug-and-play to get the solution up and running. We can also control the PC remotely from the cloud and get all the information in one place."
"The product does not slow down the machine."
"Easy to use security solution, helps to secure connected devices against viruses in the digital world."
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
"The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources."
"ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past."
 

Cons

"I remember when they first pushed it to the DBM server, my backup server at the time, it caused a lot of issues because they were supposed to exclude all the folders that they were backing up to and had the storage. I got hold of the security group and asked them to uninstall it. We uninstalled it, ran a script, and then it fixed the problem."
"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."
"We do get false positives."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was included in the account that we had. We didn't have to pay for it."
"I pay about $100 a year, so it's really cheap. I'm sure that if I need something else beyond more technical support, I'll need to pay more."
"The cost is a very reasonable. When compared with other products, the price is low (though not very low)."
"The price could be a little lower."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and there is an annual subscription. The price is inexpensive."
"It is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
