Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- ESET PROTECT
Best for: Smaller teams wanting a light agent
Its place on the list comes from fit with smaller IT teams, because it plugs into the RMM platforms that IT staff and service providers already use. Its size fit runs from startups to enterprise, and you can keep the console on premises if your policy needs that. Check which add-ons you need, since encryption and multi-factor authentication come separately.
