ESET
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.

SentinelOne
I'm not sure about pricing but I have heard from larger companies that it was not very accessible because of their size. We are a small company and we also utilize a SIEM which helped offset costs right off the bat. I think it makes 100% sense for IT departments that don't have enough staff to monitor their environment in depth.

Pros
ESET
  • 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!

SentinelOne
  • SentinelOne provides excellent protection against known and unknown attacks to our endpoints.
  • The recovery option provides a fast, first line of defense against ransomware and other system damaging attacks.
  • SentinelOne requires minimal administrative support making it a very cost effective and efficient solution.

Cons
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.

SentinelOne
  • Possibly for compatibility with legacy Windows OS's and non Windows OS's.
  • Some settings are greyed out and unable to change but I believe this is to protect you from making a bad configuration change.
  • Could do better with reporting at the base level subscription.

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.

Usability
ESET
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.

SentinelOne
Compared to all the other major players, SentinelOne is truly hands off. One installed, the tool is able to manage all the major threats on my endpoints without intervention. The biggest thing the IT Dept has to do now is just clear the incidents after SentinelOne has dealt with them. Every other tool I have used requires significantly more effort to maintain.

Support Rating
ESET
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.

SentinelOne
Their support is good and quick to respond. The one issue we faced was when a non-protection issue arose there was a lot of dancing around trying to figure things out. This was frustrating as it took significantly longer to figure out issues. Lots of repetitive log gathers, screen caps, uninstalls that never seemed to resolve issues. Eventually, the product would be updated and the issue seemed to be resolved, but seemed to be the only solution.

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.

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.

SentinelOne
Webroot is a great product but did not provide the versatility that we really were desiring. It allowed to us to centrally manage, but required policy-based management, and not the endpoint detail we wanted. SentinelOne's central management provides a variety of options for us to deploy and manage.

Return on Investment
ESET
  • 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.

SentinelOne
  • SentinelOne has already proved its value by stopping attacks that would have gone otherwise unnoticed until much later in their infection process.
  • The Vigilance team has provided quick response to threats that were not easily contained via the automated response SentinelOne's agents provide. This has given us a significant piece of mind.
