ESET Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines managed detection and response (MDR) services as those that provide customers with remotely delivered security operations center (SOC) functions. These functions allow organizations to perform rapid detection, analysis, investigation and response through threat disruption and containment. They offer a turnkey experience, using a predefined technology stack that commonly covers endpoints, networks, logs and cloud. Telemetry is analyzed within a provider’s platform using a range of techniques. The MDR provider’s analyst team then performs threat hunting and incident management to deliver recommended actions to their clients. MDR offers outcome-driven security incident management that is predicated on the detection, analysis and investigation of potentially impactful security events and the delivery of active threat disruption and containment actions to respond to and mitigate the impact of cyber breaches.

The ESET UI is a true nightmare and seems to not have US users in mind.  

IT Associate

I wasn't involved in evaluations, contracts, or the transition to ESET MDR, but my experience using the platform has been excellent. Our team is very small for the size of the company and ESET has allowed me to extend my capabilities much further than I expected. I don't spend my time worrying I'll miss a security issue in our fleet, I can proactively take care of issues and spend my time working on larger projects rather than babysitting individual workstations.
