The omission of certain advanced features, most notably endpoint detection and response (EDR), leaves Protect Complete trailing behind our current Editor's Choice winners: Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, F-Secure Elements, and Sophos X Intercept Endpoint Protection.

ESET has continued to improve its offerings, but it hasn't done enough relative to its competitors to place it at the top of the heap of cloud-based endpoint protection services. Unfortunately, while Endpoint Protection Standard earned our Editor's Choice award, Protect Complete simply doesn't distinguish itself enough to win that status. It's available in three pricing tiers: Entry, Advanced, and Complete. The platform supports Windows, Linux, and macOS desktops with full feature parity, in addition to Android and iOS mobile devices. This leaves the Protect suite as ESET's current managed, cloud-based product line, and it's also the offering the company recommends for new users.

Previously, we reviewed ESET Endpoint Protection Standard, but ESET now positions that as its on-premises product.

ESET's latest hosted endpoint protection offering for business customers is the Protect suite.
