SAN DIEGO, March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ESET®, a global pioneer in proactive protection for more than two decades, announces the availability of two independent, in-depth security software reviews for the next-generation business products - ESET Endpoint Security and ESET Remote Administrator. The reviews were conducted by the globally recognized independent testing organization AV-Comparatives.

The reviews, commissioned by ESET, assessed the recently launched ESET Endpoint Security and ESET Remote Administrator, which were made available in North America on December 11, 2014 and globally on February 25, 2015.

ESET Endpoint Security

AV-Comparatives were very impressed with both the functionality and the user interface of this security product. While it retains the simplicity of the earlier versions, AV-Comparatives commended the modern look of the product's new design, which has been optimized throughout for use with touchscreens.

The testing organization also highlighted the design of the status display, saying it was both clear and provided an easy means of reactivating disabled components. Additionally, the review says that ESET Endpoint Security warnings were "clear and practical, and the software has been secured against removal or deactivation by unauthorized users."

The report concludes by the findings: "Overall we feel ESET have done a tremendous job of making a console that is powerful enough to cope with thousands of clients, but simple enough to use in SMBs as well."
