CrowdStrike stormed the endpoint security market with innovative EDR and AI-driven protection but comes with a hefty price tag. While it offers a mature EDR solution and managed detection services like Falcon Overwatch, the cost per endpoint is significantly higher than competitors like ESET. Without skilled analysts, EDR solutions offer limited benefit, and CrowdStrike’s higher false positive rate can waste valuable security team time. For many ANZ businesses, ESET’s PROTECT Enterprise provides comparable protection with local support at less than a third of CrowdStrike’s cost, making it a more economical choice for managed security services.

ESET ANZ Cloud delivers enterprise-grade EDR and endpoint protection with the flexibility of a SaaS model, hosted locally in New Zealand for full data sovereignty. Designed for MSPs, resellers, and security-conscious businesses, this platform combines ESET Enterprise Inspector, cloud sandboxing, and monthly billing to simplify deployment and compliance. With automation features like network isolation and process termination, it helps cut analyst workload without sacrificing visibility. If you’re scaling SOC services or need high-performance threat detection without complex infrastructure, ESET ANZ Cloud EDR is a smart, channel-friendly solution.
Microsoft Defender may be free and pre-installed, but recent tests show it falls short in performance, detection, and false positives compared to ESET Internet Security — a more comprehensive choice for remote work protection.
Chillisoft has been awarded LogRhythm’s 2020 ANZ Distributor of the Year, recognised for its strong sales, value-added services, and success across multiple verticals and managed services partners.
Despite strong detection, Microsoft Defender slows performance and triggers false positives. ESET remains the better choice for SMBs needing speed, accuracy, and local support.
