Overall Satisfaction with Eset Smart Security

We use ESET Smart security to protect our servers, laptops, desktop and Macintosh computers from malware, viruses, and phishing attacks. The ability to centrally manage all three platforms (Windows 7/10; Server & Mac) allows us to have a greater control over what applications are installed, and what protocols are permitted inside our network.
  • The ESET Remote Administrator portal is easy to use to keep track of systems, identify hardware and manage ESET installs and configurations.
  • ESET has a small footprint and low overhead on system resources.
  • ESET features presentation mode which prevents popup windows from the program notifying you of updates.
  • ERA tasks are sometimes delayed.
  • Making rules is a bit complex for new administrators.
  • The licensing portal is mediocre at best. Functional, but the UI leaves a lot to be desired.
  • The ROI is amazing because you don't have downtime due to viruses.
  • I've never lost a machine protected by ESET to malware.
All of those are better than running no antivirus or relying on Windows Defender to protect your machine in today's danger connected world, but nothing tops ESET Smart Security for zero-day protection, protection from bots, malware, randsomware, and viruses that infect, spread, and take hold of your digital files. I've never lost a machine protected by ESET Smart Security. I have repaired and rebuilt machines protected by AVast, Norton, and McAfee.
ESET has protected my personal machines for 14 years. I have used and managed Symantec, McAfee, Avast and ESET in my professional career. ESET is my preferred platform for both home and work. I've never lost a machine protected by ESET to a virus or malware. I do IT work on the side for friends and family and they're all running ESET as well.
