We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and ESET PROTECT Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Anti-Malware Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"A feature we like is setting the GUI of ESET Endpoint Security/ESET File Security to silent mode because some servers and clients can have performance issues."
"This is a product at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it."
"The tool protects everything."
"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"The product is quite affordable."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"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 most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"We do get false positives."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus can improve by having better EDR intelligence and automation. The EDR still needs lots of human interpretation. It can be better if add more intelligence to the EDR part of the endpoint protection."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"The solution includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"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."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"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."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
