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

"This is a product at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it."
"There are some great features in ESET Endpoint Antivirus when you are browsing on the internet. For example, they have a notification if within your LAN network something is suspected to be a threat. Additionally, the malware features are very good."
"The most valuable features are the sandbox, mail scanning, sandboxing attachments, files, and that it responds to VPN porting."
"The features seem to be alright."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
"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."
"It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"It has a feature called Isolation. If a device is compromised, we can connect it to our SOC, and no one would be able to access it. This way we can limit the damage to the network while we are investigating."
"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
 

Cons

"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"It would be useful if they could automate the deployment more."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
 

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."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is affordable."
"I'd have to look through my records, however, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus could be lower. From a customer's perspective, it is expensive."
"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."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"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."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
