What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

Eset Protect's proactive threat detection and zero day attack prevention tools are quite helpful in my present remote work setup as it has the ability to find and isolate affected endpoints without involving user outreach and its great insight into our whole IT infrastructure also helps to simplify maintenance and improve system security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

Navigation of the dashboard and the statistics may need a certain level of technical competence and it also took longer than required to implement Eset Protect, leading to a few unanticipated delays and failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ESET PROTECT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Eset Protect contains a great quarantine feature which separates the malware before it can be used and Eset Protect can also simultaneously find and handle threats without manual intervention. And apart from helping me to make our system more secure, it is also quite light weight and efficient and runs quitely in the background and provides real time scanning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

I've been impressed with ESET PROTECT's quick installation process - it's up and running in just a few minutes. Plus, it's available on a wide range of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS, making it a versatile solution for our needs. What I find particularly useful is its ability to perform deep web scans using web crawl technology, all from the cloud.

One of the standout features for me is ESET PROTECT's ability to predict and protect our business networks from threats using anti theft and identity protection features. Its fast and accurate scanning detects vulnerabilities before they become incidents, saving us time and resources. The scanner is also great at tracking internal and external threats, including ransomware, and provides detailed reports that are easy to understand. Overall, I'm really pleased with how intuitive and interactive the user interface is - it makes managing the software a simple task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

ESET PROTECT restricts almost all new files and sometimes delays workflow, as you have to confirm to ESET PROTECT that incoming files are not a threat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ESET PROTECT solving and how is that benefiting you?

It offers the you with a single console for managing all features, making administration simple. From this single location, you can monitor any vulnerabilities or incidents within your business infrastructure. Automated reports reduce workflow, eliminating the need for manual vulnerability searches. This saves time and costs. The software performs extremely fast and effective analyses, enabling prompt responses to vulnerabilities and preventing data loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features I find most invaluable are ESET Identity Protection and ESET Anti-Theft, which offer advanced capabilities that provide automatic protection for our IT environment.

Moreover, ESET Protection shields us from all forms of malware, including those disguised as email attachments, enabling us to work efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

Eset Protect has great machine learning capability which guarantees fast detection, less human effort needed and the real time response also helps me identify threats even before they have a chance to execute and therefore reducing the time our systems are sitting idle. Also thanks to their gui, administrators without much technical knowledge can also easily operate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

It is quite hard to automate security setting over my entire security stack and also having to reinstall it separately on every new machine is also quite irritating and consumes too much time and manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ESET PROTECT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Eset Protect protects our whole system quite effectively and the integration with other solutions was also quite hassleless and furthermore, it lets us find vulnerabilities in our system early on and also protects our private credentials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

I have been using ESET NOD32 since 20 years. It is so light you wouldn't even think you have a security program running on your computer, ideal for both low end computers and high end ones. Even their basic protection which is NOD32 Antivirus has a built in HTTP scanner so if you ever click on a malicious link or download, it would block it before the connection even starts. Additionally, it has a 0 false positive rate in my experience, the last thing you want is to run a program and get a warning that it's not safe when it actually is. ESET has mastered this and have the lowest false positive rates amongst all other security solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

While the HTTP scanner is great for protecting your computer from online threats, some users don't want it. It would be great if ESET would give us a way to do a selective install where we can choose to install the Antivirus only without the HTTP scanner components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ESET PROTECT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Peace of mind knowing that I will never get a virus with their superb antivirus engine and heuristics engine and almost 0 false positives Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

ESET Protect is the simplest and most secure security system I've ever used. It's features like.

- ESET Password Manager, securely storing system passwords in one place and no one can access them expect the system administrator.

- ESET Authenticator, enhancing security with two-factor authentication and it's very easy to setup in less period of time.

- ESET Antivirus, protects our system against data loss and malware

My favorite experience with ESET Protect is its compatibility with all major operating systems. Its integrated and unique security features overweight the need for separate software purchases, hence reducing overall costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

It's simple to use and no dislike per moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

ESET Protect is relatively easy to deploy in your environment, especially if you leverage the Cloud platform.

Protect elevates all ESET features that were present in the Business product-serie and brings the missing visibility that was missing to make a complete EDR.

It requires a daily surveillance from your team to ensure a constant monitoring of your assets' health.

Protect integrates directly into the Cloud platform and pairs with the other ESET products, although it's important to mention that this is a separate component/service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

We could have benefited from a better customer success program to be guided through the deployment.

I feel like the solution requires a lot of tune up to only show accurate data, but that's also part of a learning process for this type of product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ESET PROTECT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Protect fills up the lack of EDR capability in the ESET Business Endpoint Security engine.

It brings a complete visibility of who does what, when and how with the ability to remmediate suspicious activity based on the existing 2000 detection models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kristopher Jackson of ESET PROTECT

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for choosing ESET PROTECT. We are delighted to hear that you find our product easy to deploy and that it enhances visibility and security within your environment. Your comments about the need for a better customer success program and the tuning required for accurate data are valuable to us. We are always looking to improve our services and ensure that our customers have the best experience possible. Thank you again for your input, and have a great day!

What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

Once you get eset setup it is very easy to use and navigate to each device and see what problems or red flags are there. During the original integration running our on-premise eset server we ran into a few problems and the support team was able to help us and get us moving forward. We use ESET everyday whether it's through the email alerts, or checking the warnings on the dashboard. It was a relatively easy to learn how to navigate through the different dashboard and set policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

When doing the on-premise server spin up by yourself, it can be quite daunting at first. But fortunately support is there to help you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ESET PROTECT solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is our first line of defense on each machine we have in the company, it has saved us many times from visiting potentially bad websites, and malware being downloaded from those sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kristopher Jackson of ESET PROTECT

What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

I've been using ESET to protect my workstations since around 2006 and my personal computers long before that. I've never had a virus it didn't catch and it's never caused issues with any of my servers. The one time I had to call support, my call was answered in two rings and my rep was connected with a developer 5 minutes into the call, with a workaround in less than 20 minutes. We push the ESET agent via GPO and have ESET policies that ensure that the correct products are installed, updated, and activated automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

The UI takes a bit of getting used to, but that's any software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
