ESET PROTECT vs. Jamf Protect

It has almost no effect on PC operation and can be used as usual. The security detection can be programmed according to the usage time, so it can be configured. The low price is easy to introduce. Then, if the number of additional licenses increases, it will be discounted, so it is suitable for the corporate introduction. Regular updates are available, so you can rest assured.

Jamf Protect will always have day 1 support for new OS updates, which is an amazing feature. The reporting could use a bit more work and the actions it captures are far beyond anything we would need, but it does that really well too. There are plenty of scenarios where I will gladly recommend this to other institutions. There are not many where I wouldn't. Maybe only if you have a hybrid environment, where licensing another endpoint protection may be beneficial to the budget.

• 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!

Incentivized

• Security--it scans processes for 'bad stuff'
• Notifies admins of any issues or potential issues; entirely customizable and we create many custom notifications and groups.
• Integrates with Jamf Pro
• Monitor CIS benchmarks via a clean and nice looking dashboard

• Price a little expensive - ESET is a great product, but it is priced at a high price and in a market as competitive as antivirus and security tools, this can weigh in the balance.
• Complexity in creating rules - it's quite complex to create rules in ESET, you end up wasting some time on it, it could be more intuitive.

Incentivized

• The cloud GUI. It can be confusing at times.

It has been flawless for 2 years

It is by far the easiest Security product I have ever used.

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.

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 people who prefer ESET over others as well

Jamf Protect is much lighter on system usage. It also has exclusive access to the threat protection baked into macOS. This lets Jamf Protect leverage the great work Apple is doing, and gives admins a way to extend that as well as view reports. Webroot was often missing things that were threats. SentinelOne was a bit more resource heavy. Solarwinds...err..."N-Able"...do I really need to say anything?

• 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.

• Positive: It allowed us to deploy machines that were not deployable before due to compliance issues.
• Positive: Easy to implement in the shortest amount of time needed.
• Negative: Could be costly if you have a big environment
