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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate ESET Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up ESET can be straightforward or complicated depending on the customer's environment. The deployment time varies, but it's typically around five days. We have a team of four or five people involved in the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance. The only maintenance is adjusting the configuration of the dashboard."
"The features seem to be alright."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"Installing and integrating ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy. It prevents worms, malware, and Trojans."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of use."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"The solution is stable."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"The most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"​Very straightforward and very easy to implement.​"
"Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"The most valuable and advanced feature of the solution is the ability to check vulnerabilities."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
 

Cons

"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"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."
"If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET."
"The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"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."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive."
"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."
"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."
"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 very good compared to other solutions."
"The license is annually, and the price is low compared to competitors."
"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"This is not an expensive solution."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
