![]() ![]() You can choose from one, two or three years from one to 10 devices, with the Pro plan the regular Cyber Security plan only supports a maximum of five devices. Cyber SecurityĬompatible with Mac, Windows, Linux, and Androidīasically, the Cyber Security plans are the same as the Essential, Advanced and Ultimate Protection below, except without those extra features like safe transactions, photo encryption and a password manager. We went with the Cyber Security Pro for Mac because we wanted the most advanced antivirus software and the NOD32 version on Windows, but here’s a breakdown of how all of the plans differ. If that’s the case, ESET offers basic and advanced software for Macs only, as well as Androids, which we’ll get to in the next section. However, some people may want to stick to antivirus software only. ![]() Given that the average person has anywhere from 70 to 80 passwords, 1 if you don’t already have a password manager, we recommend signing up for Smart Security Premium. We cover this more extensively in our ESET review, but here’s a little summary of what each plan covers.ĭid You Know: The software that stores and prefills passwords is typically known as a password manager. You might be wondering what is the actual difference between the Essential, Advanced and Ultimate plans. Ultimate Protection (ESET Smart Security Premium) But in general, antivirus software is on the pricey side, so we recommend buying subscriptions for longer time periods for more devices to unlock the most savings.Įssential Protection (ESET NOD32 Antivirus)Īdvanced Protection (ESET Internet Security) ESET Scan Options Desktop (and Android)ĮSET’s prices are definitely a little high, as we’ve seen one device covered for a year for $10 less than $39.99 (you do the math). Let’s start with their more comprehensive packages that include antivirus software, plus a few extras. It's not really the ESET setup.ESET’s pricing is a bit of a mess, with different plans for desktop and mobile devices. However, that's just to clean up garbage applications from your endpoints. In terms of maintenance, that will need time. When we first set it up I just tried to enable all the alarms for the unwanted applications, for things that looked suspicious. It gives alarms and there are so many alarms. You need time with ESET for cleaning out PUAs and potentially unwanted applications. It is not super complicated if you have a bit of knowledge. If anyone has some security background, they will figure it out. You've got to just look at it, however, it's easy enough to figure it out. That said, that has to add some IPs and some policy sets. We want to allow some type of traffic over the IPsec when people connect to remote. However, we use IPsec, so the firewall needs people to remote in and remote out. It's not very straightforward if you want some customization, for example. The solution is in the middle of complex and simple. ESET is also closing that gap in terms of their abilities. Brands like CrowdStrike, et cetera, are beginning to step in into the top of the pile in terms of their technology. Trend Micro is also almost there on the top of the pile, yet not exactly on top of them, however, they're pretty much there. McAfee is losing its place since they've messed up with the build and all the stuff. Symantec is still there on the top of the pile. Defender is there as a professional, full-throttle product. That's one aspect. Nowadays, that scene has changed drastically. In contrast, McAfee, Symantec, Defender, and Trend Micro would come in the top bracket in terms of the top performance, along with CrowdStrike and stuff like that. Sentinel One and ESET maybe would compete with each other along with Kaspersky and stuff like that. ![]() Maybe two years back, ESET was a product that would be a mid-range product. I've also used McAfee, Trend Micro, and Symantec. I had Microsoft Defender to use, so that is why I moved away from ESET. ![]()
