Easy to setup and stable solution
It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us.  There is room for improvement in pricing.  In future releases, I would like to see improvements in EDR protection.  So, the only thing that I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"Its automation can be improved."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
"We can easily scale and improve security, but the cost is high for us."
