Verdict
ESET PROTECT ranks eighth because its agent is among the lightest on system resources while holding strong detection scores, and it offers both cloud and on-premises management for regulated sites.
What customers praise
Independent tests rank ESET among the lowest for system impact, which matters on older or resource-limited fleets.
What customers criticise
The EDR module is newer and less deep than the specialist leaders, so mature SOCs may find hunting tooling thin.
Best for
Teams that want a light-footprint agent and flexible cloud or on-premises management.
