Engineered to maximize workflow efficiency, the Emsisoft Management Console allows you to manage all your endpoints from a single dashboard.
Despite its highly configurable protection features, Emsisoft Business Security is intuitive and simple to use.
All support inquiries are handled by Emsisoft’s inhouse malware experts. That means you never have to deal with chatbots or outsourced customer service teams.
Emsisoft Business Security uses multiple protection layers to block malware, remove existing infections and prevent data loss.
Built by some of the world’s leading malware experts, Emsisoft Business Security provides reliable protection against both known and unknown cyber threats.
Emsisoft Business Security respects the privacy of your business and your users. The software does not send user profiles or private data to third-party servers.
It’s not enough for a security product to simply provide reliable protection. It also needs to be efficient, user-friendly and easy to use for time-strapped IT professionals.
That’s where the Emsisoft Management Console comes in.
Designed to be an almost 1:1 mirror of the desktop agent, the web-based Emsisoft Management Console enables you to manage all of your endpoints from a single pane of glass. Whether you’re deploying protection software, responding to alerts or running scans, the Management Console allows you to access the same information and perform the same tasks you could onsite – regardless of where you or your endpoints are physically located.
While the ESET cloud-based console offers a good degree of control over ESET’s protection software, it is a bit tricky to use. Some users may find the interface overly complex and the workflow a little unintuitive.
If you’re currently with another antivirus provider, you don’t have to wait for your subscription to end to make the switch to Emsisoft. Emsisoft offers an attractive license buyout option, in which they’ll give you the time remaining on your current subscription for free (up to a maximum of one year) when you sign up as a customer.
Emsisoft as a company is easily one of the best on the market. Simple, yet powerful software for the best protection possible.
A tremendous product with great customer service. It performs well, with little user intervention. We sleep better knowing we are well protected. Best of all, Emsisoft is a company that you *want* to spend money with because they have a social conscience and are driven to do the right thing whether there is profit in it or not. I am proud to be a customer.
Emsisoft Business Security is made to protect small and medium-sized businesses, and is an effective solution for organizations in any industry.
