Emsisoft Business Security vs ESET PROTECT Entry

Emsisoft Business Security provides centrally managed cybersecurity for business workstations, servers, and remote teams, with a focus on small and medium-sized businesses. Protection layers include web protection, a real-time dual-engine file scanner with machine-learning-supported detection, a behavior blocker, and anti-ransomware monitoring. Its ransomware defenses include signature-based, exploit, and behavior-based detection, including monitoring for ransomware-like encryption and backup deletion. The Management Console is a web console for endpoints, clients, and sites, also accessible through Android and iOS apps. The product supports Windows servers, protects file shares and connected storage, and can run from boot without a logged-in user. Automation options include a command-line scanner, email and webhook alerts, and a public monitoring API. The Business Security plan costs $1.10 a month; only active devices are charged, and volume discounts apply. It includes email and live chat support, and a 30-day trial is available. There is no free plan. Emsisoft was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Richmond, New Zealand.

ESET PROTECT Entry is a paid business endpoint protection tier that combines Modern Endpoint Protection and Server Security. Its listed controls include next-generation antivirus, firewall, web control and device control, alongside ransomware protection. Supported systems include Windows, macOS and Linux computers, Android and iOS/iPadOS mobile devices, and Windows and Linux file servers; functionality varies by operating system and version. Remote management can be deployed through a cloud-based or on-premises setup. ESET lists integrations such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Azure, Palo Alto Networks Firewall and Google Cloud Platform. The company says endpoint monitoring and automated evidence collection can support requirements including NIS2, DORA, GDPR and ISO 27001, and that all products include technical support in the customer’s language. There is no free plan. A 30-day business trial is listed, but the instant online trial is for ESET PROTECT Core, for up to 25 seats; an assisted trial can cover any subscription plan. Entry pricing depends on device count and is not displayed, and online buyers select a device quantity. The product page points visitors to a new ESET PROTECT plan.
