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.

Is able to make several campaigns work in parallel, but the user interface needs improvement
It's mainly used by the cybersecurity team for Windows patching and deployment of some software solutions I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of use."
"The solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"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."
"It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it."
"The pricing, if compared to other products, is cheap."
"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"The stability is great."
"This solution does not slow down your systems. It is very light."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The security features are very valuable."
 

Cons

"In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great."
"The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the other products out there. It is definitely in line with the competition."
"This is not an expensive product."
"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"The pricing can be a bit more flexible."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"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."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"The solution offers value for money."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
