Overall Satisfaction with ESET Endpoint Security

ESET is currently our anti-virus main solution. It's being used in the entire organization, by our users, that currently only notice when the solution does not update automatically, cause the icon turns red. It helped us a lot with malware, trojan, and other OS problems, as well as block some stuff to enter in our network.
  • Do not disturb your machine if it is configured in the right way
  • Split updates using a local server (only that one downloads the updates and split to your local network)
  • Easy interface, even to the user
  • The initial setup, don't slow the computer.
  • Deploy to be a little bit easier in a network
  • The management interface to be a web version
  • No more malware attacks that crash the network
  • Users don't worry that much about download stuff they don't know
  • Less time fixing machines
Despite being the current solution, that will replace ESET, I noticed that the centralized updates are on a desktop, for example. Easy to set up, but if the desktop goes down, everyone downloads from the internet. Also, the web interface is better, but I think that ESET has more options, even being slower.
For a multi-tenant environment, I think, it's a very good tool, as you may split your powers with other admins, to manage in a more detailed way the machine groups. There's space to be better in policy application, to specific computers or groups, as you needed to download the file, customize, and upload again, or deal with slow screen updates. Also, the disk space it takes to hold the updates.
