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.

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 pricing, if compared to other products, is cheap."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"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 most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"Easy to use security solution, helps to secure connected devices against viruses in the digital world."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"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."
"It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years."
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
"The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints."
"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."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"Sometimes, ESET sends alerts within my own network that cause confusion. That is, it might warn about contamination, or that the VM has crashed, but it doesn't go further than that. It just shows me the alert and sometimes I am not sure what to do about it."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"This solution is a good value for the money."
"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"I do a two or three-year license for less than $100."
"There is a license required to use ESET Endpoint Security."
"We can easily scale and improve security, but the cost is high for us."
