ESET Endpoint Protection Platform Reviews

ESET Endpoint Antivirus is a solution for customers with workstations tied to the company network. It's a base ESET product for endpoint protection. 

A fast, effective, and lightweight product for endpoint protection. You don't see it until it reports found malware.

ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources. If your devices don't have much RAM, having an antivirus solution that doesn't use many resources is critical.

It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually because it already has some basic functionalities.

I have used Endpoint Antivirus for 16 years.

I rate ESET Endpoint Antivirus 10 out of 10 for stability.

Everything depends on how well you've built your network. If your network is centralized, has good bandwidth, and you have the correct set of permissions, you'll have no problem deploying ESET. If your network topography is decentralized, you'll need more steps. Also, there is a cloud solution. The cloud-based ESET Protect server can manage up to 50,000 computers, so keep it in mind if you have more. 

ESET Endpoint Antivirus is a proven product, built for the last 35 years, brushed and polished to perfection. Customers rarely see malfunctioning of any kind, and if it happens, support will take care of it immediately. There are five different methods to deploy protection on endpoints, with the ability to set the smallest detail in the process. And pretty much everything works flawlessly. There are no limitations to the number of distribution points, number of administrators, configurations of permission sets, or anything that can interfere with the solution's scalability.

The customer support is better than the product.

I rate ESET Endpoint Antivirus 10 out of 10 for all it is. It's a proven product, polished to perfection, and in the top five products globally. It isn't complicated to set up; believe me, I've been deploying it for 16 years. ESET has been in this field for a long time, so everything is mature and seamless. 

The deployment time depends on the network size. From a few hours for the network of 30 endpoints, including the ESET Protect server deployment, to a few days if you have thousands of endpoints and other solutions that need removal.

We deployed the solution in-house.

I rate ESET Endpoint Antivirus a seven out of 10 for affordability, but it lacks features that some pricier products have. The price of Endpoint Antivirus is somewhere in the middle regarding the competitors. It's a decent value. There aren't any additional costs, and the solution is low-maintenance on the customer's end. 

I rate ESET Endpoint Antivirus a nine out of 10 overall. Some minor improvements could be made, but customers are happy with Endpoint Antivirus. You don't see it as it's very low on resources, but it's a powerful endpoint client packed with functionalities that can make a difference between hacked and a healthy network.

I recommend using Endpoint Antivirus with ESET Protect server for centralized management, maximum security policies, and automatic isolation tasks for eventualities. A better product, ESET Endpoint Security, brings web control, anti-spam filtering, and a firewall to control the network traffic on your endpoints. The antivirus solution doesn't have those features, so consider the latter if you need those additional functionalities. ESET Endpoint Security also has a secure browser that encrypts communication between the keyboard and the browser. This feature is crucial for banking services and anything online where you're typing in sensitive information or user credentials.

The primary use case of the solution is to manage endpoint security.

ESET Endpoint Security's ransomware protection is good.

The support and documentation have room for improvement.

The migration between on-prem and cloud has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution is stable.

We previously used Microsoft Defender but it is not as mature as ESET Endpoint Security.

The on-prem deployment is not straightforward but the cloud deployment is easy.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

We have 200 people using the solution.

We have two admin people managing the solution.

ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console. Additionally, it doesn’t need a high-performing CPU for software servers. It has the best security feature as well. It provides 100% security by detecting dangerous web pages and illegal sources.

The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior. There could be a feature to detect unsecured devices in the network similar to its older version. We need additional agents for it at present.

We have been using ESET Endpoint Security for three years. At present, we are using the latest version.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

The product is highly scalable. I rate its scalability a ten out of ten. There are 150 users in one organization and 25 users in another organization that I manage. It is suitable for medium businesses.

The product’s initial setup is straightforward and fast. I rate the process a nine or ten out of ten. It requires minimal technical staff for deployment.

I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients. We use the free version, and there are no additional costs involved.

ESET Endpoint Security is a good product for finding new devices and alerting administrators. It has always succeeded compared to other solutions. I never have a problem with security using it. It provides 100% safety for the environment and users.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

ESET Endpoint Antivirus has several useful features. Firstly, it offers parental control options, allowing users to manage and restrict access for children. Additionally, it can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer.

The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7. That's why I had to switch temporarily. So it should be more compatible with different operating systems.

I have been using this solution for a year. I am using the latest version. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. It is not ten because it does not support Windows 7. 

The scalability of the solution is good. Only I am using the solution. 

The initial setup was fine. It was easy. It took less than an hour to deploy. 

It was done in-house. I needed technical help while trying to update it to Windows 7. And I still wasn't able to do it. 

I paid for a yearly license. It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine. 

I am satisfied with ESET Endpoint Antivirus. I would definitely recommend using the solution. It is easy to use and a good solution. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

I'm primarily using the solution as an antivirus at home. It is a form of endpoint security.

Being in IT, I understand the importance of having security. This works well for me. It's easier to use than other options, for example, McAfee.

The product does not slow down the machine.

It's very simple, and I have no issues with it. It does what it needs to do. It's clean.

The solution offers good protection.

It alerts me when Windows needs to be updated. The product lets me know every time there's a Windows update, I need to go through it to make sure that all the patches are done.

It is easy to set up. 

It is stable. 

The pricing is very reasonable.

There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs. 

I've used the solution for four to five years. 

The solution is stable. It's active in the back end without slowing me down. I haven't had any stability issues. 

I'm only using it at home for personal use. 

I've never needed to contact technical support. 

I'm also familiar with McAfee. I've also used Norton in the past. They tend to slow down machines. 

The deployment is very fast. It takes maybe five minutes, depending on the download speed. It's pretty easy to implement. It's not complex. 

The pricing is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive. I do a two or three-year license for less than $100. I tend to wait for a promotion to get a discount. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's easy to use. It's easy to deactivate an endpoint and add a new one. The license carries over to the new machine with ease. If I buy a new machine tomorrow, I can just transfer over my ESET. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. They are excellent in many areas. 

The solution is primarily used as a security tool. We're a distributor of several security technologies. This is an MDR solution. It's similar to Sophos. It protects endpoints. It offers an antivirus and also manages malware as well. 

It's a good, medium-level MDR. It's good for medium-sized companies.

It's on par with other products on the market, when it comes to endpoint protection.

The remediation and deep learning are very helpful. They tout that malware can be killed within 30 seconds.

Its security approach is very deep.

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution can scale. 

The pricing is reasonable. 

I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise.

They need to continue to develop their position within the MDR market.

They should develop an XDR solution. That would be the next step for them.

I started with this company in January. However, the company has dealt with the solution for three or four years. 

If you have a simple setup, the stability is good. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution offers good scalability. However, if it is a very large setup, for example, 10,000 or more endpoints, I'm not sure how it would hold up. 

We do not have a lot of customers using the solution. 

Technical support is quite good. 

I've dealt with many security solutions, including Sophos and Cynet. 

I'm not sure how easy or complex the setup is. I do not handle the deployment. I'm in sales. 

I'm not clear on the exact cost of the licensing. I don't handle the configurations. That said, the solution is not overly expensive. 

I'm a reseller, and I work with system integrators in Italy.

ESET tends to push the SaaS contract.

I'd recommend the solution to other users. 

I would rate the solution eight out of ten. 

We are using ESET Endpoint Security for monitoring our devices for security threats.

The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints.

I have been using ESET Endpoint Security for approximately three years.

ESET Endpoint Security is stable. When comparing the solution to competitors it is more stable.

We have approximately 800 endpoint users using this solution.

The scalability of ESET Endpoint Security is good.

I have not used the support from ESET Endpoint Security.

I have not used other solutions prior to ESET Endpoint Security.

The deployment time depends on how many devices the user has. It typically can be done in one day.

I did the deployment of the solution with a team of three.

There is a license needed to use the solution and the price depends on the features you want to use. The overall price is reasonable.

I did evaluate other solutions before choosing ESET Endpoint Security.

We have three people that do the maintenance of the solution.

I would not recommend this solution depending on the company and the number of employees using it.

I rate ESET Endpoint Security a five out of ten.

I am using ESET Endpoint Security for our basic protection. 

ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration.

I have been using ESET Endpoint Security for approximately two years.

ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it.

We have approximately 50 people using the solutions but we have 100 servers running it.

We will increase the usage of the solution over time.

We use our local distributor for support and they are very good and friendly.

I previously used Symantec and BitDefender.

The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be a little challenging, but overall it is straightforward. If we are to implement the solution for 100 employees it will take approximately one week.

I did the implementation of ESET Endpoint Security with my team.

We do not have many people managing the solution. 

The cost of the solution is hard to justify even if the EDR operates well.

My advice to others is this is a very good solution for email protection but for the EDR and SIEM, the integration is not at a high level. However, if you use it for traditional protection it is good.

I rate ESET Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.
