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

"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation."
"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"This solution does not slow down your systems. It is very light."
"The product offers great reporting tools"
"It hasn't crashed a single time, so it is stable in that sense."
"The stability is great."
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."
"The features we have found most valuable have been containment as well as the ability to triage agent activities."
 

Cons

"On the solution's website, it is sometimes difficult to figure out how to download the exact product associated with your purchased license."
"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 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 includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"High-end hardware requirements across workstations"
"If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET."
"The update process can be improved, and there could be an automatic update process when a new version comes out. For system updates or program updates, there could be more automation."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"Endpoint resource utilization causes high levels of instability and that is something that needs improvement."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"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 email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"The solution lacks device control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or 36 months."
"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
