A very stable tool that offers security and protection, along with automatic updates
The product's initial setup was very straightforward. When it comes to the time taken for the deployment part of 360 Safeguard, once in the back-end, the tool normally shows a message and shows the upgrade or whatever is running the back-end that I might not have noticed. The solution is deployed on the cloud. I could not even notice the deployment process because I think it just somehow showed up in my system one day, and it worked with my Windows system very smoothly and seamlessly. When I install Windows Office and choose Office 365, I see 360 Safeguard installed.

Cloud-based protection has simplified daily client support and keeps threats under control
The problems that we are facing with policy adoption include slow adoption, as it takes more than five minutes to adopt policy on client computers. ESET Network Attack Protection sometimes helps in reducing network-level intrusions, but sometimes it prevents local devices on the network, which are well-known and good devices, from being recognized, treating them as a threat. So it requires more administration than usual. ESET could implement a good solution for remote support in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform for improvement in the future. Since you have the cloud console, ESET could have something similar to AnyDesk or TeamViewer, but from ESET.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN."
"When we use ESET, our clients do not have any problem with viruses and any problems with ransomware and other types of viruses, so it is a very good product."
"The maintenance is easy."
"This is a product at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of use."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The best features of this solution are the fast anti-malware and antivirus detection, and the powerful local firewall."
 

Cons

"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"The web center in 360 Safeguard could be better, so this is its area for improvement. 360 Safeguard could be more scalable, especially for big businesses."
"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"It has a very inconvenient way of activating the beta NIS when you have to type in the key"
"The solution includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I bought a license — it's quite cheap. It's definitely cheaper than an American product. It costs approximately $40 a year."
"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"At first, we thought it was a bit expensive, but we negotiated a better price."
"The license is annually, and the price is low compared to competitors."
"There is a license required to use ESET Endpoint Security."
"The cost is a very reasonable. When compared with other products, the price is low (though not very low)."
"It is subjective. I don't think it is expensive. If you can have 10 user licenses for less than $100, I don't think it is expensive."
"Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or 36 months."
"I pay about $100 a year, so it's really cheap. I'm sure that if I need something else beyond more technical support, I'll need to pay more."
