User Testimonials
	ESET PROTECT	SentinelOne Singularity
Likelihood to Recommend	Comprehensive threat prevention against a variety of threats, such as viruses, ransomware, and spyware is effectively provided by ESET PROTECT. The cross platform compatibility of this software is advantageous for business with diverse IT environments such as those combination of Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Some industries, such highly regulated sectors with specific compliance needs, may find it more cost-effective, however it is less suitable for small enterprises with limited IT resources and for organizations with severe budgetary limits. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It works extremely well for investigating the root cause analysis of events because you can see so much detail into what was happening before, after, and around the detective incident. A weak point would be when the AI gets a little over-aggressive or doesn’t quite understand the use case for specific tools. Our RMM tool was detected as a pup. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	ESET provides comprehensive, transparent protection for my MacOS devices without interfering with the efficiency of my operating system. It's easy to install, configure (default settings are great for just about everyone), and update. ESET's customer communications, including a very detailed knowledge base online, make it clear I've chosen the right antivirus solution! Incentivized BP Benjamin Plotkin Technical Project Manager Read full review	SentinelOne provides excellent protection against known and unknown attacks to our endpoints. The recovery option provides a fast, first line of defense against ransomware and other system damaging attacks. SentinelOne requires minimal administrative support making it a very cost effective and efficient solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Price a little expensive - ESET is a great product, but it is priced at a high price and in a market as competitive as antivirus and security tools, this can weigh in the balance. Complexity in creating rules - it's quite complex to create rules in ESET, you end up wasting some time on it, it could be more intuitive. Incentivized Marcio Vizoli Analista de sistema Read full review	Possibly for compatibility with legacy Windows OS's and non Windows OS's. Some settings are greyed out and unable to change but I believe this is to protect you from making a bad configuration change. Could do better with reporting at the base level subscription. Incentivized SU Seth Urbanczyk Network Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	I'm giving it a 10, because I would totally have no reservations about staying on with eSet for another 3 years once our contract comes up for renewal. We are looking to transfer to a different product in January, however. This is due to a special pricing contract with the state of Ohio that made a normally much more expensive product very affordable and was cheaper than our coming eSet renewal cost. This is a very special case only available to government and educational organizations, but had that not been offered, we would have gladly stayed with eSet.

Usability	Provide execllent security agains malware, ransomware, and phishing. Easy to use and monitoring multiple devices and managing security settings remotely. Software firewall ability to secure network traffic and blocking websites and application at software level its gives very easy to configure .Zero-day threats as some other security products is missing with more advanced machine learning and behavioral analysis capabilities. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	There are some minor issues with the platform that can be mildly frustrating, but the overall performance, peace of mind, and ROI make it worth using. The management console is intuitive and easy to learn, the endpoint clients are simple but give IT professionals enough data to make management easy and simple Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Excellent support from ESET and when we had questions regarding the initial deployment they were there. The questions we put forth were answered immediately with great detail. Any of the items we put forth, scenarios, were given a good solution from ESET to fit our needs. This company stands by their product and are happy to step up when needed. Incentivized Eric Krueger IT Manager Read full review	Their support is good and quick to respond. The one issue we faced was when a non-protection issue arose there was a lot of dancing around trying to figure things out. This was frustrating as it took significantly longer to figure out issues. Lots of repetitive log gathers, screen caps, uninstalls that never seemed to resolve issues. Eventually, the product would be updated and the issue seemed to be resolved, but seemed to be the only solution. Incentivized Nathan Venno Cyber Security Engineer Read full review
Implementation Rating	Do the full scan at the beginning and be prepared to wait until it is done. It will find things you did not know were there. You can leave on the Apple firewall as well as the ESET firewall. There have been no conflicts. Remember to remove emails from being backed up, so you do not have spam on your backup! This was the mistake I made. Incentivized Robin L. Ore Independent Business Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	The two main competitors We compared ESET PROTECT against was Bitdefender and Withsecure: · Performance: ESET PROTECT was the lowest performance compared to other competitors. · Console/dashboard: ESET PROTECT had the most intuitive UI, had great automation features and is the only one that has an on prem option. · Security: Bitdefender was the strongest but only by a few % but due to the cost being double there was no way our management would accept the cost difference. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	In the distant past we had used iSensor through Dell. I can't say much about iSensor because we never really had it show any incidents or activity or reports. It might be better these days but from what I can tell, SentinelOne is the Gold Standard currently. Incentivized SU Seth Urbanczyk Network Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	My computer operation improved drastically so it was very effective in business execution. I think it is a very easy software to introduce to small and medium-sized businesses at a reasonable price. Even in license management, you will receive an email as soon as possible, so you can handle the renewal procedure in a lot of time. Incentivized Carine Oliveira Marketing Manager Read full review	SentinelOne has already proved its value by stopping attacks that would have gone otherwise unnoticed until much later in their infection process. The Vigilance team has provided quick response to threats that were not easily contained via the automated response SentinelOne's agents provide. This has given us a significant piece of mind.
