Reliable Security Solution For Your Business
My organization uses ESET PROTECT to protect real-time data from malware attacks from external devices and servers. It scans and gives alerts about threats and viruses from external devices. It is also used in analyzing threat reports.
- Real-time data protection
- Live alerts about virus attacks
- User friendly interface
- Great ransomware detection
- It made my system slower
- It blocks some useful websites and cause network issues
- Scanning time is longer than other antiviruses

Great pricing, easy to install, easy on the workstation, and raises the proper warnings when needed.
Some of our staff use Linux for the workstation, and we have purchased a license for that.
- Quite easy to set up, instructions were very clear.
- Works even after factory resetting the machine. Some antivirus software wouldn't activate once the factory reset.
- Does not hog up memory or resources.
- License bondage is a hassle, you need to get the product key from some username and password first. But once bound, it is seamless.
- Sometimes it is blocking some connections that were legitimate. I had to add to exclusions.
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.
- First of all, it is very light.
- High detection despite the fact that it is lightweight.
- The management screen that comes standard with the licensed version is easy to view and manage.
- 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.

eSet Endpoint the antivirus you can't afford to NOT have
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.
- Stops junk email from ever getting to your inbox.
- Scans files and folders for virus'
- Runs quietly in the background using little computer resources.
- Adding Malware protection would be nice.
- Adding more mobile protection against malware and virus'

Eset Endpoint Antivirus is a rock solid product that does a great job protecting any size environment.
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.
- Protects in real-time from malware attacks
- Lightweight footprint that does not slow down our endpoints
- updates easily and quietly in the background
- The administration portion of the UI could use tweaking
- I'd like to see more improvement on the reporting side
- The ability to interact with the quarantine on endpoints more easily
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.
- Updates available very quickly
- Alerts and scanning of external devices (flash memories, external hard drives, etc.)
- Warnings about potentially dangerous sites on the internet
- Optimized computer resource consumption (RAM, CPU)
- Notifications from the same dangerous site should be grouped
- The option to perform actions automatically for certain types of events should be suggested and easily accessible
- When analyzing a device, the task should go in the background and not occupy part of the screen unless you decide to consult the process or there is an alert

ESET, securing endpoints since 1992
We use ESET Endpoint as the default antivirus solution at this organization as well as at the 7 other managed organizations that we are associated with. The intention behind its implementation is to mitigate viral threats as well as act as a more robust firewall for all endpoints.
- Thorough reporting
- Firewall management
- Endpoint security
- Regular client updates
- There has been some functionality loss in the ESET Administrator Console since migrating from version 6 to its current version.
- The firewall can often flag false positives.
We have implemented Eset Endpoint Antivirus across our organization to provide endpoint protection. The solution does a great job of providing general antivirus and malware protection to end users with a minimal resource and budgeting footprint. Centralized management tools have played a big role in streamlining maintenance activities as well, making it easy to deploy and troubleshoot.
- Resource utilization (minimal performance hit)
- One of the industry's best protection rates
- Competitively priced when compared with other offerings in its class
- Detection rate, while one of the best, still lags behind some competitors

Eset Endpoint Antivirus at a small business
We have used Eset Endpoint Antivirus as our primary antivirus solution for a number of years. It has been effective in isolating and stopping these threats at our organization. It has generally been easy to deploy and keep up to date on all of the devices in our organization.
- It is easy to deploy
- It is simple to keep up to date
- It is effective
- They could provide better clarity on the licensing
- They could simplify the licensing management
ESET Endpoint Security is used throughout the organization, on Windows servers and on desktops. Its main function is to centrally address threats and malware. In a single interface, I can manage the entire equipment park and define several business rules for each institution environment, such as access, release, installation and update application policies.
- Security situation of servers and desktops
- Easy targeting of security policies
- Scheduling tasks and actions, such as server analysis, remote scanning, software installation, diagnostics and many others
- Audit, automation, hardware inventory status reports
- Tighter integration with other operating systems, such as debian and rhel-based distributions
- Complex service deployment: need for multiple deployment servers to enable all their functionality, which leads to additional resource consumption
- Upgrading to a new version is complex

ESET best for VIrus Protection
The Program is self sufficient for updates on threats and has been a useful tool in combating ransomware from getting into our systems.

Most Trusted Platform for Endpoint Device Security
Eset Endpoint Antivirus gives the best assurance to all connected PCs and endpoint devices, ensures and plays out a profound output of PCs in risk, makes an ideal security shield for latest threats on the web, giving consistent cautions of perilous destinations that can influence the security of any organisation, makes an insurance shield type firewall for end-user devices. And this Antivirus solution is used across the whole organization.
- Eset Endpoint Antivirus is a decent antivirus that expends scarcely any framework assets and is refreshed day by day.
- Notwithstanding antivirus assurance, it has firewall security and makes warnings if the working framework should be updated to alleviate any weakness.
- Performs sweeps to the gear and outside gadgets just by embedding them, for example, USB recollections, external hard drives, cell phones, and so on. It permits record insurance and device control.
- It suddenly blocks useful web sites, so this application blocking must be improved.
- It takes long time to update the threat database and it must be improved.
- When this product is installed on older PCs, PC performance is affected. This must be optimised by the Eset development team.

Endpoint Review
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. The overall reporting functions make it easier to monitor potential threats and keep our minds at ease. No Endpoint can protect you from everything but ESET makes us able to sleep better at night.
- Set-up and deployment is easy in almost any environment.
- The built-in tool to collect detailed information about systems is invaluable.
- 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.

A great product, and easy to administrate.
We use ESET Endpoint Anti Virus, and it is installed on every machine. Ease of use, setup, and administration are all a cake-walk.
- Ease of install with a complete AIO package (agent and AV-sec installer).
- It has caught more tracking cookies & possible viruses that most enterprise level AV suites on the market.
- It's like a secondary firewall for PCs.
- I would add more heuristic AV protection.
- Keeping the software suite lets you not utilize as many resources as most of your competitors.
- The ERAC (ESET Remote Access Console) could use a little make-over. I would change the font and color scheme to make it more readable.

Eset Endpoint Antivirus - Set it and Forget it!
We use Eset Endpoint Antivirus in the whole Exports Department. There are so many spammy and virus-infected emails being sent around these days and they get more and more tricky to keep apart from the real ones. We are so glad that Eset offers great protection right inside Outlook.
- Seamless integration in Outlook
- No bothersome Advertisements and messages
- Only brings up a message when there is a threat
- So far it could every virus that has tried to come on our computers
- Some new message about certificates not being up to date does not offer enough explanation and you cannot shut it off. It comes up every week or so.

ESET and MacOS: An Excellent Pairing
ESET is a BYOD option for antivirus protection in my division. It is a low-impact, high-performance security suite that is available for both Windows and MacOS computers. It is easy to manage licensing and software updates both individually and through a centralized interface, reducing management overhead. Automatic threat dictionary updates are delivered silently and seamlessly.
- 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!
- I've had intermittent issues with virus definition updates over the internet, but I haven't had such issues for some time now.
- Scanning individual files or directories involves lots of clicking through directory trees.
- ESET's offerings are so numerous and wide-ranging that finding the right product edition for your needs can take some analysis.

ESET is the Best Security Software - Hands Down
We use the security suite on all of our office machines. It handles keeping our network and PCs secure with minimal management effort and negligible impact on computer resources. It just works.
- Low impact on PC resources
- Doesn't conflict with other software
- We've not been infected since using it
- Could not get Remote Desktop Connection working with firewall enabled
- Options screens are not easy to use or understand
We have been using ESET Endpoint Antivirus for all of our Workstations/Servers in our organization for 10 years. ESET Endpoint Antivirus' main purpose is to protect our computers from all types of malware, including viruses, Trojans, spyware and rootkits, whether they are already on your hard drive or presented via the web, email or removable USB or optical drives.
- Simple and easy to use interface
- Quick response time from tech support
- Easy to use and take up very less system resource, and it won't slow down your PC while scanning
- Manage all ESET clients via a central remote administrator web console
- Expensive
With more than 10 years as a home ESET Endpoint Antivirus user, I was not surprised to find the product ensconced within my current organization. Spread throughout the entire organization, ESET is a one-stop shop for antivirus protection. Providing solid protection against hackers, ransomware, and phishing without the lag I have seen in other products.
- Detailed. Granular security controls
- Firmware protection
- Light system impact
- Middle of the road malware protection
- Can be difficult to program as there are so many features you can set
- Would be great to see password management as part of its toolset
ESET endpoint security was the solution chosen by our company for the security of all the machines of the company. Computers, laptops, servers, all have as heir security tool ESET running and helping to protect them from attempts of invasions, malwares, and trojans. The ESET Endpoint Security has been fulfilling its work with efficiency.
- 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.
- 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.

ESET Smart Security Software
We use ESET Endpoint Security in helping to fight the malware that can cause havoc to the system's database. It helps in getting rid of viruses and also creating firewalls when connecting to the internet in order to filter data that we acquire from the internet and the information that we save.
- Getting rid of viruses that attack the system database.
- Creating firewalls for the filtering of information.
- Keeping the firms information safe.
- It would be nice if the popup messages were reduced. Other approaches should be used instead.
