Read full review Comprehensive threat prevention against a variety of threats, such as viruses, ransomware, and spyware is effectively provided by ESET PROTECT. The cross platform compatibility of this software is advantageous for business with diverse IT environments such as those combination of Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Some industries, such highly regulated sectors with specific compliance needs, may find it more cost-effective, however it is less suitable for small enterprises with limited IT resources and for organizations with severe budgetary limits.
Read full review Pros It keeps on checking our important files. It is effective against malware. It keeps a record of the viruses that tried to invade and prevents them from further future invasion. Its working speed is amazing. Read full review 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! Read full review Cons [I feel] its customer service is not good. [I feel] its installation is a very long and slow process. [I feel] its interface is a little bit annoying Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We just renewed for our second year without even shopping around. We are very happy with it.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Usability We had issues initially getting all of the policies implemented and working since it can be hard to figure out what setting is coming from what policy. Once you get your stack of policies setup and working, the product works great. The installers just work and knowing that they can remove other AV software when you install it can save you a lot of time and headaches.
Read full review Support Rating I have interacted with them several times, and I'm not giving them a 10 because they never blew my mind how good they were, but they certainly met my high expectations and helped us resolve all issues we had. We paid for support to help us set it up, and I think that was a good choice. There's a very steep learning curve at first with the initial configuration. We feel confident in being able to change everything now that we have been using it, but initially it was all a very new thing to us since we never had used a centrally managed Antivirus and Firewall program before.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered AVG antivirus was a bit expensive tool offering the same features as that in Comodo but unfortunately, the working speed of AVG Business edition was not as fast as of Comodo and the way Comodo is efficient against Malware is unmatchable and it automatically removes the threats so we don't have to put any effort into this.
Read full review We really like the lightness of ESET, this really is a differential in your favor, the way it operates quietly in the background even running a scan was something that interested us, nothing worse than an antivirus locking everything like a scan and still end up issuing scandalous false detections, in the end the choice was made by ESET much because of this differential.
Read full review Return on Investment An efficient way for the removal of malware completely with protection. We are satisfied with the data protection it offers. The ability to detect malware and remove it, is amazing. It has proven itself as the best of all protection tools. Read full review Stopped several malware outbreaks that would have had considerable downtime on endpoints. Stopped several ransomware attacks that would have potentially costs large sums of money and downtime. Allowed us to utilize Eset itself in lieu of a patchwork of platforms to accomplish the same tasks. Saving us several thousand per year. Read full review ScreenShots
