Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product offers great reporting tools"
"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 solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"The maintenance is easy."
"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good."
"I like everything about ESET Endpoint Security, and as an installer, it's very easy to install the solution, but the most important feature is that it helps defend against any virus. When the virus comes, ESET Endpoint Security stops it."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"The solution provides an easy GUI allowing you to use it as a backup and restore your computer whenever you want, following administrator rules."
 

Cons

"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"The adware module could be improved."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"The support team of the product lacks skills and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"The price is okay and I don't have any issues with it."
"I'd have to look through my records, however, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and there is an annual subscription. The price is inexpensive."
"It is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"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 ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
