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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"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 ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"I have found the ESET Management Console very good. It gives me many features, such as managing users and installing a new version."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."
"The solution is stable."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
 

Cons

"We are looking to move towards an EDR solution rather than EPP. EDR is a solution that can dynamically detect threats based on the process behavior. It would be better if this solution was an EDR and an EPP solution, this would increase security protection."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is annually, and the price is low compared to competitors."
"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and there is an annual subscription. The price is inexpensive."
"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."
"Currently, we are running on a three-year license. The pricing might be around $20,000. There aren't any costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The cost of the solution is hard to justify even if the EDR operates well."
"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."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"The tool is affordable"
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
