Walter Fang - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Partner at Assistencial Consulting
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.

Provides comprehensive monitoring and policy implementation with room for memory optimization
ESET PROTECT Enterprise makes the system a little slow sometimes and updates occur at startup. Sometimes unwanted pop-ups appear to users, and they are unable to disable them. The user-friendliness is lacking in some areas. When users are using any computer, ESET PROTECT Enterprise should work in the background without consuming much memory, and any updates should proceed in the background without disturbing the user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"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."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems, because when I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The solution is easy to use and install, with good pricing."
"Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent."
 

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."
"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"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."
"Its automation can be improved."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"The management console could be improved. Sometimes, agents lose connection with the management console, and the administration team needs to reinstall the agents on the computers."
"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."
"One area for improvement in ESET PROTECT Enterprise is its capabilities on Mac devices, which are less functional compared to Windows."
 

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 product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
