Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Program is self sufficient for updates on threats and has been a useful tool in combating ransomware from getting into our systems. We have been fortunate to have ESET in place for the last 10 years and the technical support is phenomenal when you have any issues. I am very pleased with this product and it's performance.

Pros and Cons

With the virus blocking it has caused less downtime for infections.

Alternatives Considered

We have tried the Norton, and Avast, Neither compare to ESET as far as the capability to maintain virus signature databases, also the ransomware protection is great. All aspects of this product are beneficial to whom ever purchases this for their protection. I have been extremely satified with its performance and usability.

Likelihood to Recommend

It has been a good device for blocking viruses, case in point. At our school board, I had recommended that they take on ESET for their security. At the time the school board did not have a system in place to take care of their virus protection. As it happens a teacher downloaded a file to a thumb drive and when she put it into a computer on their system, it infected 10 schools on their network.

ESET best for VIrus Protection
