"Smooth Security Policy Management and Device Control with ESET"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

We use ESET to apply security policies across our users machines. Once everything is set up, it runs snoothly and doesn’t require much ongoing follow ups. The policy management and devices control features have been especially useful for restricting ceratin apps and controlling access to external drives. We connected it to our Windows domain and it synced users and sytems without any issues. The live status view is helful and fastest checking which machines are out of date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

ESET Policy settings weren’t very clear to me at first and it took some time to figure out what each option actually does. I’d also like to see more features for automated updates and device control, so its easier to block USB access and prevent unknow apps from being used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

ESET has been helpful for me as an analyst, especially when it comes to reporting, and it also offers a good range of customizable options. The system runs smoothly, although the learning curve take some extra effort at the beginning. Once you get used to it, it becomes very precise and it feels like it could be adopted by more customers. It works and feels close to perfect in almost every aspect.

"Comprehensive Endpoint Security with Minor Licensing Challenges"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

I like that the UI of the ESET PROTECT web portal is very easy to navigate. Everything is labeled logically, and I can reach things with just a few clicks. I also appreciate the ability to label devices in any way I want, making it straightforward to filter by department, Windows version, or device type. Most tasks I want to execute remotely, like updating ESET antivirus or shutting down a device, are available out of the box. It's also not difficult to create my own tasks. The easy navigation means it's never a chore to use, and the main dashboard makes it easy for our team to see current problems, saving us time and providing visibility. The custom labeling feature allows me to create reports and dashboards to share with others, focusing on what's important for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

For some reason they decided to decouple the endpoint management (ESET PROTECT) from user and license management. All three of them exist on a different domain and require you to separately log in. So I have had scenarios where there was a problem with my license, and I had to log in to the license manager, but to do that I first had to log in the user management to give myself permissions to view the license management. It was rather convoluted and, in my opinion, unnecessary. Furthermore, this decoupling I think is also the reason why sometimes new devices added to your system look like they have issues verifying the license; A newly added device sometimes doesn't want to activate its ESET licenses, because it takes a while for it to communicate with the license manager to sort it out. It's not a big issue, but it does mean that we generally install the software on the first day, and then configure it the next day to not run into these types of issues.

"Easy Central Management with Smooth Performance and Seamless Windows Domain Sync"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

For me the biggest advantage is the central management. It makes it straightforward to keep everything up to date myself and allow to block USB drives whenever needed. On top of that the learning software and the browser run smoothly without any lag the console is very easy to navigate we also connected it to our windows domain and it synced users and system without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

At first, ESET’s policy settings weren’t very clear to me and it took a while to understand what each option actually does the console has been useful because it lets me check everything quickly without needing to log into each individual system and it was straightforward to set up as wel.

"Centralized Management with Helpful Email Notifications"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

For me, central management is probably the biggest advantage. This is where you can look at each client to determine whether they’re up-to-date, update them yourself, allow/deny USB drives, etc. All of these items are managed through a single tool. I’ll try to keep this brief since i’ve worked a 12 hour day, but the notifications via email are actually really helpful. Whether the threat was detected automatically by the system or had to be handled by a user, it’s still sending notifications. As an administrator for many devices, those types of notification can make a big difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

It goes without saying that deep scans can slow your computer down to nothing. That’s just how it works. Low spec computers or older ones will essentially shut off certain applications during the scan. The management portal has a steep learning curve and the curve never really levels out. After months of use and countless hours spent trying to learn new features, i’m starting to feel exhausted with the amount of learning required. More often than i would like false positives occur and tracking down quarantined files that end up being harmless is just busy work. Lastly, the price tag for licenses is noticeably higher than other products and the process of renewing your license is another headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ESET Makes Student System Management Easy with Reliable Web Controls"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

I use ESET to manage the systems students rely on every day on it has been very consistently solid features like web control application blocking and endpoint monitoring have been especially useful for restrictions and unwanted access it also runs smoothly alongside learning software and browsers without any lags the console is very easy to navigate gives clear quick view of system status without any need to dig through multiple sections. It's overall convenient way to monitoring and managing multiple systems from one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

Setting up for different user groups can be the time consuming particularly in the early stages after everything is configured running well but getting ESET set up its initially isn't the quickest process even so the performance stays stable when I am handing larger batches. it only integrates smoothly with our internal tools and databases systems.

"Lightweight, Reliable Protection That Doesn’t Slow Down Development"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

ESET PROTECT is a lightweight and reliable platform, I run multiple tools such as VS code, local servers and containers and it doesn’t slow anything down. I like the malware detection, behavior monitoring and web filtering. The user alerts are both side useful and helpful and they arrive on time. It also integrated smoothly with our existing firewall and doesn’t interrupt our development work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

ESET dashboard looks and feels a outdated and it really could use an interface refresh. I haven’t had any issues with it. Console ia useful because it leta me check everything fastest without having to log into each individual system and it was alsi easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Locked-Down App Control and Web Filtering with an Easy, Ticket-Friendly Dashboard"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

In our company, people used to install whatever they wanted random tools, browser extensions, even cracked software. With ESET PROTECT, we’ve been able to lock that down through application control and web filtering and its been a real shift for us. I also like that we connected it to our helpdesk tool, so alerts go straight into tickets instead of getting lost in email, dashboard is something I check every day; its easy to scan in under a minute, but it still gives me the information I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

ESET naming and grouping could be clearer, especially when you’re managing multiple teams at once. That said, the remote management component is helpful and useful and works well in practice, particularly when its used alongside our cloud tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ESET PROTECT Makes Multi-Client Security Management Easy for MSPs"
What do you like best about ESET PROTECT?

ESET PROTECT - I work in an MSP setting and manage multiple client environments at once. I appreciate most is the ability to deploy protection remotely and monitor alerts across different conpaines from a platform. The anti phishing layer and behavior based detection have helped catch a few suspicious files early. It also integrates smoothly with our remote access and monitoring stack, which helps keep everything aligned and in sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ESET PROTECT?

ESET licensing structure can be a confusing especially when you’re managing different clients with different needs. The live threat alerts are genuinely helful, I’ve also linked with our directory services and email filtering tools, which makes level control easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
