Its middle of the road and should suit most applications well

In our BYOD office environment, we need to make sure that everyone has sufficient antivirus protection on their machines, and ESET is, hands-down, the best solution for MacOS. I've tried them all and found none better! Needless to say, ESET is just as great for Windows. It even offers support for mobile devices.

Pros
ControlNow (Discontinued)
- 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.

- Light and quiet protector - ESET is silent, it works in the background without consuming the performance of the machine. Some security and antivirus tools usually consume a lot of machine performance during its scans, ESET is not like that, most of the time you will forget that it is there.
- No problems with false alerts - ESET has great accuracy compared to other security tools, hardly the false alert, unlike some competitors who are whistling and making scandal without reasons being an extremely annoying experience, with ESET you do not have this problem.
- Good support staff that responds quickly to any request for help that you make.

Cons
ControlNow (Discontinued)
- 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

- The program update procedure can be a bit difficult. It doesn't just auto upgrade major versions, you have to apply them a certain way if you want to manage them via the remote console. Not all the latest versions work with the remote management software.

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.

ControlNow more nimble and less impactful on the local PC

It was pre-existing when I came to this company so ESET is dug in deep and removing it would be a process. Defender was nice and is a solution I wouldn't mind moving to. My biggest concern is web protection due to the amount of password compromise request emails the user base gets so have a system that is big on web protection is a must.

- I can tell you that the cost to provide this security suite is lower than the other major vendors' product and is a better product.
- The need to protect your organization from threats is required. The costs associated with recovering from an infection that spreads across the organization, the data loss, the productivity loss, etc., are huge! Don't risk it by "saving money" and taking risks.
