ESET PROTECT Reviews & Product Details

It offers a one-month free trial, during which you can configure all systems, including the cloud-based console. This gives you enough time to set up and test the entire environment properly. The trial also includes the full premium package at no cost, with protection for up to five devices.

Overall, it’s a good opportunity to test the software thoroughly and evaluate its performance before making a final decision. It helps reduce uncertainty by letting you spot and address any issues that may come up during setup or day-to-day use. With full access to all features throughout the trial period, you can explore the system in depth and decide what works best for your needs before moving forward with a purchase.

It doesn't seem as robust as our older ESET we had up until late 2025 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that ESET PROTECT is on-site, giving me full control over the server, which is something I find really critical. Management with it is fairly easy, and it simply works. The fact that it's on-premises is an important part for me because cloud deployment can pose additional risks. I appreciate having full control over OS management and other aspects.

For ESET PROTECT, the on-premises ERA does not cover application patch management. We subscribed and then needed to cancel because of this, so there is definitely room for improvement. Additionally, the initial setup was really challenging. Onboarding takes significant time and the learning curve is fairly steep. Once all the policies are set, all initial installation and licensing issues are resolved everything works as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked that it came with the OS and therefore I didn’t have to spend one whole week deploying it. The kusto query language scripting is great for finding weird stuff once you get good at scripting. This tool also communicates with Office 365 and when someone clicks on an email link that has a virus in outlook, this tool will notify us and won’t crash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate this product the most because the licensing model is so complex and I would probably need a phd to be able to determine what I’m paying for or what tier provides what feature set. In addition it consumes huge amounts of system resource on older laptops, causing the fan to spin so fast I cannot even hear myself think. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features I appreciate most are ESET Identity Protection and ESET Anti-Theft, as they provide advanced tools that automatically protect our IT environment. This not only ensures our security, including the safety of our customer data, but also helps foster trust with our clients and supports the expansion of our portfolio.

ESET PROTECT is easy to deploy and use, enabling us to maintain secure operations without any complications, which makes it a reliable solution. Furthermore, ESET PROTECT shields us from all kinds of malware, even those concealed in email attachments, allowing us to work productively and with peace of mind.

ESET PROTECT is straightforward to set up and configure, which I find very convenient. I also value the FQR, as it is well designed to resolve simple issues without the need to contact customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about ESAP Protect it is how easy it is for an individual company to use the product. It's simple.

We use the integration with Microsoft Outlook second to none keeps our inboxes free from spam and malware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though it has a simple interface the onboarding process took some learning. Once set up it was much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to track applications installed on the devices and group the devices into different categories. The system itself is also very ease to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don't like is how it does not provide solutions for the issues it gives mainly being that the application is running like why can't it let me tell it to start it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard for ESET protect on-prem is quite intuitive and the Linux OVA compatibility made it easy to deploy without needing additional licensing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the program can be difficult to add exceptions to and to tailor to your exact use case. You may find that it blocks things you didn't intend to and that it's a bit finnicky to push updates. There's a bit of a learning curve with deploying tasks using triggers, but once you have done it a few times it can be a powerful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how well it catches bad things before they can get onto our network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve run into issues where some of the customizations we made were lost after the program updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
