ControlNow (Discontinued) vs Eset Endpoint Antivirus

Likelihood to Recommend

Its middle of the road and should suit most applications well

Since Eset Endpoint Antivirus is not a high resources user, it is suitable for low resources computers. Eset can protect us not only from viruses but also from other types of malware and ransomware. If we want to scan attachable storage quickly Eset is not suitable because the scanning time is higher than average.

Pros

An instant scan of file level downloads so that introduction of a variant file is limited before the scan engine clears it.
Dashboard use of the agents available allows for near real-time review and action without directed access to the station.

Cons

Dashboard refresh when you have over 100 end agents can be lagging at times
The agent install process has potential to hang without alert or warning unless your paying attention through the complete install
The silent install process can be problematic when dealing with large-scale networks with varied OS models

Some of the initial documentation could be better but this is being picky.
The detection engine is very advanced and I would like to see it continue this way.

Eset Endpoint Antivirus 9.3

Based on 6 answers

We haven't had to use the support, but looking at the support page, it gives us a range of different answers to questions that may arise in the future. I expect all responses to be quick and accurate, and the team should work endlessly to nullify any issues that may occur.

Cost is reasonably low and feature-wise it gives all the same capabilities of similar products so we chose Eset as our organization's antivirus solution.
