Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."

"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."

"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."

"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."

"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."

"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."

"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."

"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."

Cons

"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."

"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."

"When it first starts up, it takes a lot of processing power when the machine is initially booted. Improving the startup side could be beneficial."

"They need to reduce the number of notifications on the endpoints."

"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise cons

"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
