Feel very protected, just not the easiest management console to confirgure with
Pros
We've been using ESET endpoint security for a number of years and in that time have had no infections. Real time monitoring picks up iffy websites any staff may venture onto.
Cons
Setting policies and tasks isn't too bad to configure but does require training/practice.

At the end of the day, what really matters is the end point security, and ESET is where I go every time I need AV, whether it is on my person computers, work computers, or those of friends and family.
Pros
Secure and Reliable AV without a huge impact on performance Priced competitively Centralized management with AD Integration
Cons
Reporting is lacking in accuracy and robustness License management is slightly annoying, endpoints always duplicating and eating up the licensing No transparent way to esnure End Points have the latest version of the core application automatically

Has multilayered technology that helps protect your data privacy
Pros
Easy to use especially the management interface, removes all identified malwares and can disinfect files that have been infected.

eSet has all of the security features you'd expect from antivirus, as well as a nice alerting feature for when viruses are suspected.
Pros
eSet provides your basic antivirus and antimalware protection as you'd expect, but it also includes strong heuristics and memory scanning. It will limit internet browsing rights, and help control what software your employees can place on your business PCs.
Cons
We've seen a lot more slowdown on the PCs due to eSet than we have with some of the other packages, which also include comparable features.

Recommendations to others considering ESET Endpoint Security
ESET includes several security features that make it a good solution for providing more internet security than antivirus protection alone.
After several upgrades, it became easier to update all endpoints centrally which I really like.
Pros
The centralized management console and ability to push updates to endpoints really saved a lot of time.
Cons
Reporting function is a little confusing and sometimes frustrating trying to generate a new report.

The product is robust, capable and with the ERA management is painless, if a little more complex to setup initially.
Pros
If you're running in an enterprise then its ESET Remote Administrator Server tool allows you to easily push out installers, monitor and manage the application.
Cons
Cloud management isn't the best as its reliant on more dated technology, being their ERA product but they're catching up.

Pros
ESET Endpoint Security has a very friendly management console that allows the user to quickly become familiar with this software.

It ensures the complete security of system.

The first and foremost feature that I like in this product is its reporting feature that is quite robust and customizable which makes my work easier and also quite convenient. Scanning power of the system is quite efficient that it readily identifies any sort of virus or threat even before the attack to protect my data bases in a very delicate way.
