As a service provider, we use ESET products to protect our customers infrastructure (Servers, endpoints, mailservers). We use all features available (including firewall, webcontrol, ..) to fully protect all devices. EDR is implemented at some customers and MDR is currently investigated because some of our customers need a SOC but are too small for many SOC providers

As an IT Administrator, I use ESET PROTECT to control endpoint security settings and to serve as a central management portal for the company's security infrastructure. Setting up firewall settings, antispyware software, and other security measures falls under this category. Real-time endpoint monitoring for potential security threats is provided by ESET PROTECT. Our system was giving me difficulties integrating it with other tools due to a threat. Fortunately ESET PROTECT finds the danger and lets me quarantine the impacted endpoints to resolve the issue. Additionally, ESET PROTECT provides reporting tools that allows me generate and analyze reports on security events, compliance status and overall system health. This information helps in making informed decisions and improving our security posture in the system.

ESET Protect is on all of our endpoints from servers to workstations. We wanted to make sure that we had a trusted and reliable AV product protecting our companies infrastructure. We have used ESET PROTECT for years and (knock on wood) has not let us down yet, despite end users best attempts at running everything they can find on the internet. We find ESET PROTECT to be a fantastic product over all for the price, great features and great protection you can count on.

We have had a massive influx of phishing emails and we also need to comply with certain cyber security policies. ESET PROTECT does not use a lot of resources so it does not bog down our laptops when scanning for malicious emails. We block all usb ports so no missing flash drives with customers information on. ESET PROTECT has been very successful in blocking malicious emails.

We started using eSet for our 100 machines after having years of frustration with another antivirus product. We are a virtual server proponent, so we installed their pre-built Linux-based appliance and in about 30 minutes, we had a fully functioning server. An hour later, we were packaging installation bundles and silently installing on our workstations. Not all machines took the server-based install, so we had to install some manually with the generated installation packages. The install packs are nice because they did contain all of our licensing information and was basically a one touch installation and it did the rest of the work.

ESET is the only antivirus product we use. We have a single management console we can use to monitor and manage all our clients from. ESET protect does not slow our clients down, but it does protect them from ransomeware, malware, virus, malicious websites and more. Very impressed with ESET, long may it reign.

Eset NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition is included in the company's 200 computers, but I never got infected with a virus. The famous Emotet Trojan virus, which has become popular recently, is also detected when receiving an email. In short, in our company, employees like the lightness, managers like the high detection, and accounting like the cost.

We use Eset Endpoint Antivirus as our antivirus application on all of our servers and all our desktops. It helps a ton with filtering out junk emails. It also helps to block un-authorized websites from accessing data on the machine the user is working on. I will from time to time use it to scan files or folders on flash drives to ensure we don't release something into the network we don't want.

Eset Endpoint Antivirus is currently deployed across our entire organization. We have had next to no successful malware or ransomware attacks over the past five years we have utilized this product/platform. It has protected all of our endpoints during that time and has performed much better than the prior products we used in the previous decade.

We are using Eset Endpoint Antivirus at the institutional level, both on desktops and laptops to ensure that our computers have the maximum possible protection even when they are outside our facilities. Every year, due to the legal regulation of our country, a new tender must be made in which several offers are evaluated. But we have several years that the Eset Endpoint Antivirus offer is the one that offers the best benefits and is the one chosen.

ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been deployed to our whole organization. The security it provides is excellent and is an integral part of our overall cybersecurity platform. With customization tools and features, it allows us to build the endpoint protection into our environment with ease.
