Cost considerations

Entry subscription runs about $211 per year, which is mid-pack for business endpoint tools, but ESET charges more for tiers that add patching, mail security, and XDR. Budget owners can start cheaply and grow, yet extra modules mean the total bill rises as needs expand, so overall cost lands in the middle of the market.

Functionality

ESET PROTECT uses machine-learning prevention, real-time EDR data, and lets teams isolate devices or run scripts from the cloud. Telemetry feeds ESET Inspect for XDR views and automated playbooks, giving broader context than legacy AV. Correlation and response automation are solid but still less adaptive than the top AI-driven suites.

Compatibility

ESET PROTECT deploys lightweight agents for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, and manages iPhones and iPads through the integrated MDM module. The console exports logs in JSON or LEEF and offers ready connectors for Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel and Elastic so security data flows straight into SIEM tools. Lack of documented VDI or legacy-OS modes prevents a perfect score.

User experience

Central cloud console shows device status clearly, but many reviewers report that first-time setup and advanced policy work are complex and need reference materials. The experience is solid yet misses the polished attack timelines and one-click response found in top competitors, so usability sits mid-pack.

Customer support

ESET offers phone and live-chat help during extended business hours and gives customers the option to buy 24×7 premium support, so most issues reach a real person quickly. A broad knowledge base is public, but round-the-clock assistance is not included in the standard package, putting service one notch below vendors with built-in 24×7 coverage.
