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.

Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features seem to be alright."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"ESET provides good protection."
"The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat."
"The performance of the solution is very good it does not impact my hardware and is user-friendly."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"Installing and integrating ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy. It prevents worms, malware, and Trojans."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
"I have not received any complaints about the performance."
"The independent modules are very good."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."
"The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."
"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
 

Cons

"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
"High-end hardware requirements across workstations"
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"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 price of the solution is reasonable compared to the other products out there. It is definitely in line with the competition."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive."
"The solution's license is moderately priced."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"The product pricing is high."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
