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."The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"The pricing is good."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat."
"The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security performance."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"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."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"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."
"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 solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"The update process can be improved, and there could be an automatic update process when a new version comes out. For system updates or program updates, there could be more automation."
"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."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"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 more features on the reporting side of things."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"Its automation can be improved."
