    Chose Avira Prime
    I have used these two and others, but compared to ESET, I think that Avira has a better performance and offers greater protection against viruses and malicious software. Compared to Kaspersky, Avira is not at the same level of analysis and protection, and Kaspersky is much …

    Chose Avira Prime
    ESET and Avast are quite good, but Avira gives me more security because I have had fewer errors in file analysis, and I have detected several files that have tried to download without my authorization.

    Chose ESET PROTECT
    I'm a huge fan of ESET, the other companies seem to have either gone off the deep end by adding advertisements or they add too much and slow down the whole program, which slows down the whole PC. I haven't heard others with the same reputation as ESET either, I know of many …

    It is good for organizations that need an AV solution that does really well in AV detection/performance tests, and also has a good track record for using little system resources on the client machine. It is less suited for organizations that want an AV product that is historically used by the industry or is known as an industry standard (e.g. Microsoft products, etc).

    ESET
    Fits well in
    our Medium sized organization, we still host a lot on prem with various Windows
    / Linux VM’s, ESET PROTECT supports all operating systems we currently use, Pricing is
    very aggressive compared to its other EU security offerings.

    The endpoint
    is lightweight, we’ve never had any performance issue, it has many features for
    the value and can also generate logs/reports for compliance.



    The EDR
    plugin may be overkill for a small business and requires extra IT resources to manage,
    also there is currently no XDR capability if you need that in your business.

    Pros
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • It detects adware (sometimes you just need some ease of advertisement) and phishing.
    • It has Webguard, that allows us to block access to malicious websites.
    • It scans email (POP3 and SMTP), an everyday tool I personally use.
    • It has Bootable RescueCD, wich helps to remove malware and system recoveries.
    • It has a very high detection rate and a very fast scanning engine.

    • ESET provides comprehensive, transparent protection for my MacOS devices without interfering with the efficiency of my operating system.
    • It's easy to install, configure (default settings are great for just about everyone), and update.
    • ESET's customer communications, including a very detailed knowledge base online, make it clear I've chosen the right antivirus solution!

    Cons
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • For the use that I currently give to my laptop it works very well, but it can fail if your way of surfing the web is careful and you dedicate yourself to visit infected forums, download files from any part, or use bad programs.

    ESET
    • If the system administrator has functions such as pop-up notification and alert mail transmission, I believe that countermeasures can be taken faster
    • It often gets in the way of the network system.
    • Communication between PCs under the same network may be hindered, which may be an obstacle to verification.

    ESET
    I'm giving it a 10, because I would totally have no reservations about staying on with eSet for another 3 years once our contract comes up for renewal. We are looking to transfer to a different product in January, however. This is due to a special pricing contract with the state of Ohio that made a normally much more expensive product very affordable and was cheaper than our coming eSet renewal cost. This is a very special case only available to government and educational organizations, but had that not been offered, we would have gladly stayed with eSet.

    Support Rating
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    Since the product runs really well overall, and I haven't really run into any major issues, I have not had a need to contact the vendor directly for support. I have perused the vendor's site for other support channels, and they do have a number of good support options, such as submitting a request, KB articles, and Community forums. One support option that does not seem to be available (or might be really hard to find) is a direct line to call for phone support. As an individual or business member you can submit a request via a web form, which then will be sent to the tech support team, at which point they will call you.

    Excellent support from ESET and when we had questions regarding the initial deployment they were there. The questions we put forth were answered immediately with great detail. Any of the items we put forth, scenarios, were given a good solution from ESET to fit our needs. This company stands by their product and are happy to step up when needed.

    Do the full scan at the beginning and be prepared to wait until it is done. It will find things you did not know were there. You can leave on the Apple firewall as well as the ESET firewall. There have been no conflicts. Remember to remove emails from being backed up, so you do not have spam on your backup! This was the mistake I made.

    F-Secure despite being a good antivirus when it comes to protecting home equipment does not act the same for business protection because its performance is much lower as well as its ease of use while Avira meets these requirements and its protection is much more complete and efficient, since not only acts against common threats but it is also optimal to protect against advanced threats and the one that works in real time makes the virus detection rate much more efficient before any other antivirus, that is why It is ideal for the protection of business teams

    Choosing ESET PROTECT rather than McAfee Security or other secuty softwares helps me more evaluate specific security requirements of the company. Considering the scalability of solution it provides, the ease of use of its interface, the level of support provided by the vendors, and the availability of reports makes it a top choice for me.

    Return on Investment
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • I have not had serious infections due to viruses or Trojans. In addition, every time a malicious code is downloaded, Avira detects it and blocks it fast enough. So, I have not had to re-format my PC, I have not lost documents that I had stored on disk C, and of course, I have not lost time trying to recover the data from my PC.
    • I've also been able to install it on not-so-powerful PCs, so its users have been able to continue using their computers without any problem and also avoid serious infections.

    • ESET maintains the security of our machines, files, reports, etc., an invasion or infection could result in a catastrophe, loss of important data, expenses with specialized support, hours or days of work stopped until the solution is found, without ESET prevention we could have big expenses at any time.
