I have started using an anti virus software 10 years back and with the time I moved to many different anti-virus software. Within first 8 years, I faced many problems regarding malware infections and those time I was working in a government organization too. So data protection was a big problem for me and for my company. Finally we decided to move to Eset antivirus software and I'm really happy to say that it has never failed so far. We have never found any negetive thing related to eset and it has been doing a great job so far. I'm really satisfied with my experience because there was a time there are no cloud spaces to save sensitive data and I was really afraid of data protection. I have been using eset for 2+ years and I would like to recommend anyone who is eagier to use a flawless anti-virus software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Few years back viruses and malware infection was one of the main problems we faced in the organization and among those, downloads from internet and removable media were the main ways that computers got infected. So there was a big problem keeping data safe because viruses can damage files, steal data and monitor sensitive information. Keeping data in physical files was a nightmare. Also some software gave us false alarms that it identified non-malicious file as malware. Also most of the anti-virus software that we used are degrade performance of the computer so most of the employees used to disable virus protection. With the time anti-virus software got improved but still some are not performing well. None of those different anti-virus software worked the way I wanted. With the experience of using different anti-virus software for years, finally our company decided to move to Eset two years back. The best thing about eset is it does not degrade performance while scanning for threats. The interface has a clean, bright look and all are well organized. For me eset is within my budget. Eset runs in the background smoothly without bothering me to do actions. Also it scan USB drives immediately when they are plugged into the PC. From the installation and setup process everything is easy and no need to struggle with any step. #### Cons I don't have any serious issue while using eset and I can recommend anyone eset as the most stable and effective anti-virus software. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security I used different anti-virus software before using eset and McAfee is one of them. It consumes a lot of memory, whether it's during the scan or real time protection and because of that machines' performance got degraded and it became a big issue for the company. Also the memory usage is high during the scan time and we had to leave the machine alone till the scan completed. Since there are some performance issues bind with McAfee we decided to move to Eset. --- ### Fast, Lightweight, efficient antivirus which is a must for any user - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chanaka A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered ESET is the fastest and most efficient security tool among many others and I'm telling this from experience. This will work on any device even if it's got lower performance without overloading the device. Just try this and you will understand why this is one of the best in the market right now. Detection engine is capable of identifying many threats which are missed from similar tools. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I started using ESET few years back and instantly I felt an improvement from all the antivirus software I used during my time. ESET was fast and had minimal impact on overall performance on computer while detecting many threats other tools could not detect. With constant updates and user friendly UI, I feel it's the most comfortable tool I have used. Quite customizable with excluding locations, custom firewall, and specially the gaming mode where it improves overall performance of computer was splendid. As a user for many years ESET came up with many good features like email protection, banking protection, and a own blacklist to enhance users' security. #### Cons I used ESET for many years but I have rarely seen faults in ESET. But I think constant notifications reminding to update and lower downloading speed for updates even when a stable and speed internet connection is available can be stated as the areas where I think ESET need to improve. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security ESET was fast and efficient as an antivirus and had more user friendly features I liked. --- ### Works well whether entry-level or high performance - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gabriella N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mining & Metals - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Having used ESET for about seven years there are definitely more pros than cons. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have used ESET for about 7 years back and forth and at times together with another antivirus. When I first started with ESET it did a really good job, my laptop was not performing well, I installed it and managed to remove over 20 malicious software. I like how it works well on different computer systems, be it entry-level or high performance. I am currently running it on an i5 processor with 8 GBs of RAM and it works well. It uses low computing power and it does not slow down my computer. I like the ESET splash screen that shows up on computer startup, it's interesting how it's changed over the years. The splash screen has a clean and premium feel to it and it makes using ESET thus much more pleasant. The splash screen simply shows up and automatically disappears, making starting up pleasant and not long especially when compared to other programs where a complete window opens up which then has to be closed. I have also used it on an entry-level computer with a Celeron processor and 4 GBs of RAM. It worked well, and I still saw the above pros, and most importantly I was able to scan my computer and have it free of malware. #### Cons I do not have much against ESET, it works well, except that scan times are lengthy, but this is related to file sizes that I have on my machine and in any case, I found it to still be quicker than other programs. There is a price point to ESET and even though it works well there are other anti-virus programs with a free plan that compete strongly with it. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security Over a decent number of years, I have switched from ESET to Kaspersky and then to ESET again and have also used both of them together. I switched from Kaspersky because it takes quite a bit of computing power. --- ### Mainstream eset endpoint reviews - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: ugwu c. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It just plain works as advertised. You'd hardly know it was there. #### Reasons for choosing ESET Endpoint Security I'd been having issues with Norton seeming to utilize a lot of CPU and seeming somewhat dictatorial. I had also been using AVG on my laptop. When I looked at the features provided by ESET, the awards it had won and the glowing recommendation from someone who appeared to be a very up-to-date in his knowledge, I switched. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security It was recommended by the salesperson when I bought a new desktop computer. See why I chose ESET answer for more information. --- ### Prevents devices from being infected - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Chad F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Very good product, easy to setup and maintain. Online portal easy to use and well layed out. Most of our users are on thin clients and have profiles on the server. So very important for us to be able to catch stuff in real time but at the same time not have our system slowed to a crawl since everyone is technically using same processor and Ram power. Email security on our Exchange server also catches things weekly. Also get emails for tons of useful webinars to help us further the fight against malware. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very easy to setup and maintain. The online portal allows you to remove old devices very efficiently so you do not overuse licenses. #### Cons We like everything about ESET as it does not slow the system down like previous endpoint product we used. #### Reasons for choosing ESET Endpoint Security ESET seemed to be more of a complete package for our needs - server, client and email. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security We made the switch when Symantec was bought by Broadcom. The support just went downhill during their transition period and online portal was very confusing. #### Vendor response Hi Rick, Thank you for choosing ESET as your cybersecurity solution, and for taking the time to write a review.

The success I had against that virus I started to learn more about other ESET products and later became partner with them and sell these products to large companies and I have never heared them complaining meaning it gives peace of mind. #### Cons As like any other products they have their weakness and two identified weakness it makes computers slower and secondly some threats they cant be detected but other products detect such threats. #### Reasons for choosing ESET Endpoint Security They have lengthy trail after trail you see how protected were you so it automatically tells you to buy. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security The product was not strong enough to fight offline threats that I was experiencing daily as IT technician --- ### Eset Endpoint Security - good all roung protection - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jay S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered A few hiccups getting it trained at the beginning, but i have been using it for a while now and it hasnt needed anything, and it has protected me against a few. As a computer tech, I know I have to spend a bit of extra time setting it up for my users, however after the first few days I know I will get far less calls regarding viruses that overall it saves me far more time than I lost during the software install. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Ease of use, good security, this is set it and forget it type deal - once you have it installed and running it pretty much takes care of itself (and your computer) #### Cons At the start we had a few false positives (telling me I had a virus when I didnt) but you just tell it that is NOT a virus and it wont think that file or program is a virus again - ie next time you do a virus scan #### Reasons for choosing ESET Endpoint Security I was more familiar with the eset product than the kaspersky one. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security I heard in the news Avast had been selling clients data to a third party.

Both our own company and our customers have been using the product for many years with very little problems. Microsoft have caught up now with their latest 365 Defender offerings, but I wouldn't necessarily choose one over the other in terms of performance. Deployment of the Microsoft product is more straight forward, so if ESET can improve in this area they will be on to a clear winner. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros ESET doesn't hog system resources and idles seamlessly in the background. Definition updates are released very regularly and if any infections are found users are notified in a very clear manner. #### Cons The cloud management which can be attached to this software is poor in terms of user interface design, which makes it less appealing for companies looking to deploy it in this manner. #### Reasons for choosing ESET Endpoint Security Some of our customer environments are not ready to support the Microsoft offerings (365 Defender / Intune) and ESET is perfect in all other cases. ESET can still be deployed via Microsoft Intune but there is additional work involved and is harder to track client devices long-term. We've had more experience with the ESET product due to it's age and it's clearly proven itself! #### Vendor response Thank you for your loyalty to ESET, and for taking the time to share your thoughts on our product. We're glad to hear that you've been using ESET for years and that you find our software suite reliable. We constantly aim to improve our products and are happy to know that some specific features are normally added soon after. Thank you again for choosing ESET as your security provider and we hope you'll continue to do so in the future.

Overall, the current ESET program is the best PC and web security/ protection software I have ever used and it is definitely a good value for money. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I very much like that ESET provide extra secure browsing when financial/banking applications are used. The subscription plans of ESET and the possibility to include a phone, and devices of other family members are very weel thought and targeted. Good pricing. #### Cons The initial set-up and the program start are not very intuitive, please work on that. In this regard, it is not easy to understand whether the program has been loaded and running after payment. Compared to the free version, it is surprising that the initial setup with the free version is much easier. Similarly, the renewal process is not very user-friendly. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security I needed to be sure I am protecting my information. Free anti-virus programs are quite a risk as compared to the potential losses #### Vendor response We appreciate your all-around positive review and are happy to be the best security program available.

Even if it lacks VPN, it offers reliable security to prevent attacks from viruses and other malicious programs. It promptly blocks any suspected threats and alerts you especially before downloading potentially dangerous files from untrusted sources. #### Cons New users need to learn about setting up settings before they can change settings as required. It could slow down old devices with low RAM and storage. I also feel that they should consider adding a VPN to allow users browse anonymously. #### Reasons for switching to ESET Endpoint Security Comprehensive protection #### Vendor response Thank you for your 5-star review of ESET! ๐ŸŒŸ We're delighted to hear that you appreciate our comprehensive defense against threats, including firewall protection, real-time monitoring, and web filtering.

ESET offers a convenient and effective one stop security solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I haven't lost time or money or business because my computer is protected and I'm not vulnerable to attacks. That's basically an ROI of priceless if you ask me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Currently I am using ESET on my work laptop. I am a small freelance business and just have the one computer to protect at the moment. I also purchased another license to install on my parents' computer as they have been very prone to viruses in the past. Pros - Set it and forget it - I basically set up this software once to run automatic scans and I haven't had to bother with it much more than that. - Anti-theft feature - this feature allows you to locate your computer no matter where it is if it gets stolen. Thankfully haven't had to try this feature out, and I hope that I never have to, but it's pretty comforting to know that I have it. - Parental control - I don't use this, but you can basically set up different profiles for children when they browse the web to block certain sites - Secure browser for banking and financial websites - ESET launches its own browser when you go to any financial or banking websites. As I understand it, they encrypt everything over this secure browser - Chock full of other features like personal firewall, email protection, webcam protection, etc - Automatic prompting when you connect an external drive to scan it. #### Cons Absolutely nothing. So far I have found ESET to be very easy to use and I haven't come across any negatives. Everything from setting up automatic scans to enabling the anti-theft feature through their website has been super smooth. No issues with this whatsoever and it's extremely easy to use. Well worth it. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/security/eset-endpoint-security-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- ESET Endpoint Security Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
