Easy to setup and stable solution
It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us.  There is room for improvement in pricing.  In future releases, I would like to see improvements in EDR protection.  So, the only thing that I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The potential threat protection feature is the most valuable. In the event that one of my computers is not on the network and gets a virus, ESET Endpoint Security quickly detects the malware, and in most cases, it removes the virus. It also has the ability to remotely shut down the computer. I like the remote control part the most."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection itself, which works well for us."
"The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products."
"Technical support has been very good. They are helpful and responsive."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"It is absolutely invisible once running."
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security was not complex because we have five years of experience. However, it is not as easy if we did not have the experience."
"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."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"The scalability could be better."
"We do get false positives."
"The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"I am a MAC user and my asset cybersecurity is continuously displaying warnings that I am not using their firewall."
